student achievments

I read an article on yahoo.com that states are setting the standard too low for students and what they need to learn. The argument is that kids and students are not were they should be and they will not progress if education standards are too low. Students will not be prepared for college when they graduate high school and this is because the standards for education are too low. The federal government can't do anything because education is based on the states.

unfair wages are minimum wages

Social justice is ruining the society we live in today. Unfair wages is part of the social justice issues we face. part of unfair wages is the minimum wage. Some believe that the minimum wage is an unfair wage. It can arguably considered an unfair wage because some are in poverty because the minimum wage is arguably low. That is why there are some who want to raise the minimum wage because they think it will cure poverty and help the economy.

Ledbetter Case

In the article i recently wrote my paper on, it talked about the Lilly Ledbetter case. The Lilly Ledbetter case is an example of how women were discriminated with their wages. Lilly Ledbetter worked at the tire firm for 19 years. She pressed charges on the company for gender discrimination because she wasn't getting paid as much as the male workers. She pressed charges in 1998 and won her case. The case went up to the U.S. Supreme Court where in 2007 the verdict was changed. Lilly Ledbetter originally won 3 million dollars in pay damages but the verdict was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court. This is a classic situation where women discrimination existed.
