I agree, companies should be able to hire whomever they want. In the article "Going for the Look, but Risking Discrimination,"by Steven Greenhouse the author states that many companies have been hiring people based on looks and not experience.This is where it gets unclear and undetermined. Some people believe that companies are discriminating based on age, sex, race, or religion.  Are companies discriminating? Are they breaking the law? No it's just business. But a lot of people people believe they are, which results in government lawsuits. On one hand, companies are doing what is best for business.On the other hand, several people believe they are discriminating. In the article the author states "companies have been skirting the edges of anti discrimination" which means that they are right on the borderline of breaking the law, as long as they haven't broken the law let them do whatever they want. I've always believed that companies have the right to do whatever they want its their business, let them run it how they please.My conclusion, then, is that companies shouldn't have to deal with goverment lawsuits if people want a job they should work for it or look for another job it is plain and simple.

GOING FOR THE LOOK, BUT RISKING DISCRIMINATION BY STEVEN GREENHOUSE. THIS ARTICLE APPEARED IN THE NEW YORK TIMES ON JULY 13, 2007 

In the article going for the look, but risking discrimination by Steven Greenhouse, the author states that  companies are skirting the edges of anti discrimination, which means that they are right on the borderline of breaking the law. For example, when companies hire people, they look for somebody that can represent their look, not for somebody with experience. That is where the conflict arises. Some people believe that the companies are discriminating based on age, sex, race, and religion. Are companies discriminating? Are they breaking the law? No, it's just business. But a lot of people believe they are, which results in government lawsuits. On one hand, companies are doing whats best for their business. On the other hand, several people believe they are being discriminatory.

What we learned today

Today we went over an old concept, the burden of clear writing rests on the writer.  That is the key for writing a good essay.

When companies hire people, they are looking for somebody that promotes their look. This is where the conflict arises, companies are discriminating on age, sex or ethnicity just by looking for an attractive person who promotes their look. Are companies discriminating? Are they breaking the law? No,they are just doing whats best for their business. But a lot of people are saying that they are discriminating, which falls back to the phrase "Skirting the edges of anti discrimination." Companies are doing whats best for their business, but by doing so they are also breaking the law which resorts to government lawsuits.

Alliteration- She sells sea shells by the seashore


Anecdote is when you insert a short story into an essay.


I like using the technique of parallelism because parallelism is easy, parallelism is fun and parallelism is a great technique to use in your essay.

Anecdote

While I was attending Cathedral City High School, something dumb happened in my fifth period history class.

Ms.Gonzales told the class that she would send anybody to ISS if she caught them  talking, while she was teaching. When we were doing our warm up, the kid next to me asked me for a pencil. I told him, "Naw man, this is the only pencil I have." Thats when I heard someone call out my name, it was Ms.Gonzlaes screaming at me, telling me, "Luis! why are you talking go to ISS." I tried to explain myself but she wouldn't listen.

Why didn't Ms.Gonzales want to listen to my explanation? Was it my fault? No, of course not. I was just answering a question that my friend had asked. Ms.Gonzales was sick of people talking thats why she didn't listen to me and overreacted.

I believe the company has the right to do what ever they want to make their company a success. They can hire who ever they believe is fit for the job, so if the company decides to hire people who project the companies image, thats their business. Each company has their own technique they use to enhance their business.
