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.
