Discussion should be 75-150 words
Unfortunately, employment discrimination can still be found in all industries across the country. The Civil Rights Act of 1964
defined protected classes of people aiming to reduce discrimination by holding employer’s responsible. Under Title VII of the
Act, an individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin is considered a protected class. Age and pregnancy have also
been federally recognized protected classes by subsequent legislation.
Discuss if you believe these protected classes go far enough to prevent discrimination in the workplace. Would you add any
additional classes of people, if so who and why? Lastly, have you ever experienced any form of discrimination in your
employment? If so, how did you resolve the situation?
