Discrimination against small people
People who have a lack in height are often discriminated in today's world. The proper term for this is heightism. This term was created in 1971 by sociologist Saul Feldman in a paper he wrote.
Nicola Persico, Andrew Postlewaite and Dan Silverman found that a 1.8% increase in wages accompanies every additional inch of height. They also found that at age 16, an increase in height by one inch lead to an increase of 2.6% in adult male's wages.
Also, when it comes to relationships, short men are reduced in the choices of girls because a lot of women cannot seem to go out with a guy just because they are smaller than them. I for one do not understand why that is a problem because what difference does it really make to the being taller than the man being taller?
