Question Description

ageism

The purpose of this discussion is to give you the opportunity to apply ethical theories ( utilitarianism, deontology, virtue etchics) to the complex issue of ageism in the workplace, particularly in the area of employment. In the modern workplace, there appear to be the following three key issues that exhibit ageism in employment, some of which have been exacerbated by recent economic issues and an aging population:

Older job seekers fight ageism as a barrier to re-employment
Younger job seekers have trouble obtaining career entry
Evidence in many countries highlights that older worker employment and youth employment are not connected in any way( lump of labor fallacy).
Using at least one ethical perspective or theory from the text and one item of scholarly evidence, present an argument to a group of younger workers (regarding older worker and youth employment) in which you refute the notion that older workers take employment from the young.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required resources and/or other scholarly sources, and properly cite any references in APA style
