 Final Paper

As I came up on this final week, I thought about all the things that have been taken place. One

thing that I know for sure is that when you have morals, the way you think about others or feel,

do not matter. Discrimination is real. What’s worst, is that all the people who are going through

this are too afraid to fight for their rights. As of 1964, the laws that have been enforced based off

discrimination. This means race, color, religion, sex or national origin. So, this means, no matter

who you are, you still matter. Even if you must fight for it a little. Therefore, I took out time to

even choose this topic. I don’t think how things went on with Lily Ledbetter and Goodyear tire.

She had every right to do what she did. All because of her, Jan 29, 2009 Ledbetter act was

founded by the congress. It makes you stop and say, what is wrong with the world that we live in

today? It saddens me. I am a mother of two. The last thing I want to do, is go to a job that I know

is not paying me the right. Prejudice has been around for years. From the look of it, it’s not

changing anytime soon. In a normal world, we would love to work without having to deal with

issues of their race, age or religion. This goes for all the older people who work but are being

look down on because of their age. With the help of( McCray 1987) this will help a whole lot of

things that need to be fixed for people with a little more age to them. Not saying that they will be

put on a pedestal. However, they will be able to perform to their full strengths. It was not until

1990 till people with any kind of disabilities had to show proof so they can know, just what the

person will be able to do. By doing this, you are giving people the chance to get a job as well as

well and be treated as equal, having the same privilege as the rest of the younger able bodies.

 So, as I started writing this paper, I said to myself, how can I write a paper that details all the

things that are taken place in the world of discrimination without having to sound like I am

saying the something repeatedly. The case of LGBT communities they have the hardest time

sometime trying to find a place of employment without having to be looked at funny or told they

ought to be ashamed of themselves. In 1982 there was a lady name Ann Hopkins. She was at the

top of her job a senior officer at Price water house. She was a good worker however, she was not

let’s just say liked at her job. When I came time for them to give her what she was owed. They

went on to make remarks about her feminine ways say” next year walk more lady like” even

went as far as saying wear makeup as well as dress like one. With all that was taken place it was

best that she went on head and sued them for sex discrimination. This is where it got tricky at

because they wanted to hire a woman, but why hire one to make them feel less of themselves. I

give an example of Ann to prove my point of the LGBT community. Ann was not a part of this

community. Given the facts that had happen to her, this opened doors to the transgender, gays

open doors for them to use this however only when it is being used on them in the workplace.

Meaning judging a book by its cover can cause you to be sitting in a courtroom with all because
