Questions to address

1. Research demonstrates that taller, more athletic, and more attractive people earn more in the workplace than shorter, less fit, or less attractive people. Do you believe this is unfair, and if so, do you believe the law should be amended to protect these classes?
2. Do you believe that a bus driver should be permitted to refuse to drive a bus if it carries an advertisement that the driver believes promotes immoral lifestyles? Should a vegetarian driver be permitted to refuse to drive a bus with an advertisement for hamburgers? Should a Post Office delivery person be permitted to refuse to deliver copies of Playboy magazine on the same grounds? Why or why not?
3. Do you believe that alcoholics should be considered disabled under the ADA? Why or why not?
4. Look at the clothing labels of the clothes you are wearing. Was anything that you are wearing produced in the United States? Besides garment appeal, what types of considerations might consumers weigh when deciding to buy apparel?
