Discrimination. Not all discrimination is prohibited by law. For
example, employers routinely discriminate between potential employees
based upon education or experience. Other types of discrimination are

between potential employees based upon personal characteristics such

discriminate based upon attractiveness? Take a side and argue that an
employer should or should not be permitted by law to discriminate
against persons who are not attractive.
