Chapter 5

1. The issue of race - does the government do too little or too much to reduce the instances of racial discrimination? Why or how so?
         I personally think the government has done just about the right amount to reduce the instances of racial discrimination. There are now laws where an employer cant turn down a person the job due to their race. We have actually came a long way with racial discrimination from how it was. I think the government trys to stop racial discrimination, but there is still going to be issues with it due to certain people that don't like if someone is a different race then them.

 2. The issue of gender
       Personally I think that the government has done just enough in the issue of gender. One reason is a woman can get a job at a construction job now and keep the job if she can keep up with the men. A man can get a job in the kitchen cooking for a resturant just as must as a woman.Men and women get paid the same amount based on their job level. A women can get a promotion to a higher level in a job just as well as a man.

3. The issue of sexual orientation
        I think sexual orientation is a big issue that the government really needs to start increasing support. It's not like a same sex marriage is doing harm to anyone. You can't help who you fall in love with is the way I look at it. Why should the government be able to say who we can marry or not? If two people of the same sex want to get married it should be their business and not the government.

I commented on Tim Tunkel, Amber Waters, and Jessica Tuckers.
