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.
