Gender, class, sexual orientation, and other characteristics are also taken into account. This section does not attempt to cover everything in every conceivable form. However, the techniques and actions for coping with racial discrimination mentioned here may be applied to any situation. Prejudice and racism can inspire solutions to other forms of discrimination. Consider methods to avoid inequalities from arising in the first place by promoting and implementing inclusive practices from the outset as you strive to remedy them.

A random sampling at its most basic level. In this instance, each person is picked randomly, and every member of the population has an equal chance of being chosen. Giving each individual in a population a number and then using a database of random numbers to select which individuals to include is one method of creating a random sample.

Sample selection by strata. This approach divides the population into subgroups (or strata) that have a common trait. It is utilized when the measurement of interest is likely to vary amongst subgroups, and we want to make sure that all of them are represented.
