Week 17; Discrimination Against Pregnant Women

In our world today, there is every type of discrimination. Buisness are discriminating against pregnant women because they will only be working for a short time. Also, these women cannot do hard work for safety reasons. Companies will usually pay the women less. Buisness usually do not hire women who are pregnant because of the amount of time off that they need for doctors visits and maturnity leave. Companies cannot ask a women if she is expecting or planning on expecting.

In my opinion, I feel it is unfair for the women, but also for the buisness. A buisness can not depend on someone who always needs time off. It will eventually hurt the buisness becuase of the constant days off. In my opinion i feel both sides are unfair. If a company really feels they like the expecting mother, they will keep her through maturnity leave.

Week 15: Teen Suspended For Going to Prom

Tyler Frost, a 17-year-old, attending Heritage Christian School, was suspended and prohibited from going to graduation due to going to his girlfriends prom. Frost signed a contract forbidding dancing, rock music, and holding hands. Frost was warned that if her went to prom with his girlfriend he would get suspended. Frost went to prom, and was suspended from his Baptist school.

I feel that his high school should have business where he goes to prom. There is also no reason that he should have had to sign an agreement for holding hands and rock music. A school is allowed to control that under their own policy, but they shouldn't have had a say in whether he would get suspended for going to prom. There is a lot of worse things a student could do than to go to prom with rock music. I feel that it is not right for his school to forbid him from graduating because of this incident.
