Forum: AGE DISCRIMINATION

Most probably you will find examples of OVERT discrimination. But we should also talk about more subtle forms of organizational and interpersonal discrimination as well in this forum.

2. NOTE: Reflection on content within at least one piece from the News and Views page – or an example of employment discrimination you bring into the discussion is required in this forum.
Why do I ask you to seek out an example or a perspective on employment discrimination? Using an example will help us apply what we’re learning this week.

Discuss any week 7 topics in relation to the samples of what is currently occurring in the workplace. Below are some topic suggestions.

What are your thoughts associated with any aspect of these topics in relation to any of the discrimination news pieces shared?

1. overt interpersonal discrimination – or – overt organizational/institutional discrimination
2. subtle discrimination – or – subtle organizational discrimination
3. hiring and big data
4. laws or initiatives that work to address discrimination (and particularity at this time government/politics and laws)
5. change needed to reduce discrimination in the workplace
