1) Change in discrimination over time - has it gotten better or worse? Has the basis of discrimination changed? You may choose one form of discrimination (i.e. gender, race, or age) or compare two or more forms. Cite evidence to support your answers.
2)New types or areas of discrimination - present the evidence of a new type of discrimination, i.e. looks, sexual orientation, credit scores, criminal justice, etc. Are there any legitimate reasons why these should exist? What are the economic reasons behind them? How has it impacted the labor market and society?
3) What innovative policies and/or programs have been recently developed or implemented to reduce discrimination? Be sure to include if the program is working or has failed and why. Note that these should not be existing laws, unless they were passed or implemented within the last 10 years.
4) Compare and contrast the Neoclassical view and the Political Economy view of discrimination. What do they have in common? What are their differences? Which seems to explain why discrimination exists today?
