Document Summary
Discrimination in hiring/promoting; what"s wrong: discrimination in hiring and firing is against the law. If the market is supposed to be open, there should be free & fair competition. If anyone is left out, then there wont be an open market. The open market allows you to get the best people to make the best product. If there is no equality in hiring, there should be no equal right for anything else. If one can vote, can be part of the government, they should also be able to get any job with no discrimination. They should be able to function like equal citizens in society. Like an elderly person passing a driving test. Since there are seen to lose many different reflexes some people discriminate without even thinking about it. This isn"t so bad because it is logical. discrimination of concern here: unequal treatment for an irrelevant/unjustifiable characteristic, this is an unjustified treatment of discrimination.
