Aleta's actions demonstrate discrimination, which refers to the unjust or prejudicial treatment of individuals or groups based on certain characteristics such as race or ethnicity. In this case, Aleta is discriminating against applicants with accents, which is a form of linguistic discrimination. This is different from prejudice, which is a preconceived opinion or attitude towards a person or group without sufficient reason or experience. The bystander effect refers to the phenomenon where individuals become less likely to help in an emergency situation when others are present, and social inhibition refers to the tendency for individuals to be less likely to engage in certain behaviors when they are being watched or evaluated by others. Neither of these concepts applies to the situation described.
