Age Discrimination in Employment Act

This assignment will help you understand the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967.

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of age for anyone over the age of 40. This kind of legislation, like other types of anti-discriminatory legislation, will not end all discrimination. However, such laws clearly state society’s values.

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research about the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. Based on your research, create a 4- to 5-page paper in a Microsoft Word document that includes answers to the following questions:

Which demographic groups are protected by this Act?
Which types of discrimination are prohibited under the Act?
Is the Act still relevant for seniors today? If yes, how? If not, why not? Provide examples.
What amendments are required to the Act as more baby boomers age?
Has this Act affected any of the minority groups in US? If no, why not? If yes, how?

Discussion 1 – Gambling Addiction – Answer in 100 – 150 words

Gambling addiction is very interesting. With drugs and alcohol there is obvious physical component regarding how the drugs interact in the brain. But – gambling doesn’t directly act on your pleasure center of the brain – it begins behaviorally. How do we get addicted to gambling?

Discussion 2 – The word addiction – Answer in 100-150 words

In our society we tend to put the word “addiction’ in front of a lot of different behaviors. Examples: addicted to shopping, addicted to gambling, addicted to love, etc. etc. Are these accurate uses of the word? Or do we overuse it in our society, thereby diminishing it’s value?

Discussion 3 – The question “Why” = Answer in 100-150 words

This discussion makes me think about the question ‘why’. “Why” is an important question. Why do people continue to engage in negative behaviors? This is a question you will continually ask yourself as a professional in the field. The better question is to ask is “What is positive for them?” – in other words – What are they getting out of engaging in this behavior? We all do things for various different reasons. Unless we can understand why someone continues to do something – we can’t help them stop. lets be honest – everyone who smokes knows the health risks and dangers. And everyone continues to smoke. They are getting something from smoking – whether it’s relaxation, or socialization, or physical, etc. etc. It is only in understanding those issues that we can help someone change.
