YOU ARE DISCUSSING AGE DISCRIMINATION:
1.You can choose to locate material from the Internet that highlights workforce discrimination as an example around which you can target what we are learning about discrimination this week. Or – you can use a material that is a little older (but still good!) from what it’s call a “News & Views” listing.
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 are 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.

1. overt interpersonal discrimination – or – overt organizational/institutional discrimination
2. subtle discrimination – or – subtle organizational discrimination
