Discrimination in the Workplace

Employment discrimination has a long, enduring history in the United States. Public attitudes towards discrimination as a whole have flunctuated over time. This increased concern particularly rose durign the Civil Rights Movement. During this influential period in history, minorities, particularly African Americans and women, were evoked of their rights as U.S. citizens.

Twenty years from now, I hope and believe that people's prevailing attitude towards discrimination will be one of societal agreement, movement, and further abolishment. Unfortunately, to date, over fifty years post the Civil Rights Movement, people fail to realize that discrimination in the workplace and elsewhere violates the Constitution on which this country was built upon and lacks both ethics and morals. I believe that when the year 2033 comes to be, there will be less or hopefully no discrimination in the workplace simply because America, in relation to the descimination of the past, has began to accept and acknowledge the fact that regardless of race, culture, sexual orientation, etc., that we are all human and deserve to be treated equally. With the rise of legistlation regarding this present issue, an increased public awareness of the economic imbalence within the workplace has risen.
