Introduction
The Equal Education Opportunities Act of 1974
Implications for Teachers and the English Language Learners
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Meanwhile, aside from the fact that many children have had the strong desire to study, there have been a lot of issues concerning the approaches to make use of the said right. Standardization on who, where and when can one avail of the said rights. There have been questions about the legalities and the documents that needed to be passed so as to provide proof that one is legitimate to enjoy such rights. Thus, apart from the enjoyment that this right has given to people, there are those who experienced chaos and confusion. This is because there are states in the US where there are strict guidelines as to which school follows the said Equal Education Opportunity Act and which children can only avail of that. The main reasons for imposing such limitations are the unavailability of teachers and/or facilities and rooms to accommodate possible huge number of enrollees. Meanwhile, there are some states who are very lenient in accepting students who are trying to avail of their rights to be educated, as stated in the Equal Education Opportunities Act of 1974. Hence, in as much as the US government would want to implement a fair and legit education opportunity for all, there are still some who complained that there is unfair or unequal treatment with the way the policy is being implemented."

From the Paper
"The policies of affirmative action aiming at assisting the black Americans are of recent origin. The policies have sought its origin to varied sources like legal structure, executive instructions, and court rulings. It was during the last three decades that these policies were being developed and they have become debatable as well. (Legal History) During the last three decades of the nineteenth century, a large number of African-Americans officiated in important public posts inclusive of two senators and 20 members in the House. However withdrawal of sustenance for reconstruction by the federal government in the late nineteenth century, the benefits extended to African Americans were wiped out and substituted by a system of legal segregation such as that of Latinos, Asians, and Native Americans.

Abstract
This paper, while acknowledging the positive side of and the need for athletic scholarships, focuses on the negative aspect of athletic scholarships. Some of the negative aspects highlighted in the paper are that athletic scholarships provide an advantage to student athletes that are unfair to non-athletic students. With such a great emphasis on sports, many students feel inferior to athletes, even though they may participate in some other type of extracurricular activity. Furthermore, the paper argues that it is unfair for athletic students to receive all the perks and credits even though they are often absent from the classroom due to practice or competition. At the conclusion of the paper, it is suggested that, while athletic scholarships should be available to athletes, schools should make a greater effort to provide equal opportunities for all other students as well.
From the Paper
"As today?s society focuses more and more on sports, the educational world is evolving to keep up with the pace. As a result, today?s student athletes have even more opportunities and options available to them than they did just a decade ago. In addition to more scholarships in both high school and college education, student today are offered the opportunity to receive part of the credit required to graduate by actively participating in sports."

From the Paper
"By the 1990s, advocates, such as Redwood (1996), point out that though there has been progress in promoting equal work opportunity, much of it has been reserved for men. She even argues that women from minority or cultural groups are doubly disadvantaged, with gender being the more major concern. Morella (2007) points out that even within these discriminated groups, there is even further discrimination because of gender, race of national origin. Because of the lack of opportunities given to minority groups, whatever opportunities are afforded them is severely competed for."

"The Department of Defense issued a directive in 1987 with the intent of establishing a Civilian Equal Employment Opportunity Program, whose initiatives included affirmative action that was consistent with guidelines set forth by the EEOC and Office of Personnel Management (DOD, 2003). The directive also established special emphasis employment programs for the following groups: women, Hispanics, people with disabilities, people of Asian/Pacific Island descent, Indian/Alaskan Natives and an African American employment program.

Equal Employment Opportunity in the United States, 2002.

Abstract
Affirmative action (AA) refers to the social practice in which members of historically disadvantaged groups are given preferential treatment in an attempt by the United States to compensate for any harm that was caused to their ancestors in the past. The paper shows that equal employment opportunity strictly prohibits employment discrimination and its main purpose is to eliminate any form of bias in the hiring process or the workplace. The paper examines the requirements for AA/EEO and shows arguments for and against these policies. It also examines the effectiveness of AA/EEO requirements and ultimately argues that these requirements have ensured that the majority of businesses do not practice unfair employment practices in the United States.
From the Paper
"Opponents of affirmative action believe that it is actually reversed discrimination in the workplace. However, a recent study by Rutgers University law school revealed that only a few dozen cases of reverse discrimination were reported in federal courts over a four-year period (Wilson, 1995) and the courts rejected most. Opponents also say that affirmative action policies also lead to lower hiring standards.
Affirmative action does not require quotas. In areas where minorities or women are underutilized, hiring or promotional goals are established, but quotas do not result in reverse discrimination."

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to critically examine Equal Employment Opportunities (EEO) policies, especially those of ethnicity, gender, or disability under the current British Governmental Educational policy or proposed policy. The paper shows that while laws, policies and regulations have been enacted in Britain to ensure that (EEO's) exist for all individuals regardless of ethnicity, gender or disability, at the same time other more inherent problems exist that must be addressed, such as the lack of education and training within the British workforce.

Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to the work of Dhami, Squires and Modood "It has been suggested that political policy-makers and theorists operate on an 'egalitarian plateau' in which everyone accepts that citizens should be treated as equals. However, there is profound disagreement to what 'treating people as equals' requires." Dhami, Squires and Modood state that previous generations have entered a debate surrounding the "relative merits of equality of opportunity versus equality of outcome" and that it is now held by only a few that the political ideal is 'equality of outcome'. It is stated as well that a 'minimal concept of equality of opportunity' equates with disallowing an individual's race, gender or religion "to affect their chances of being selected for a job, of getting a good education...." and the like however it is held within the 'conventional conception' that in addition to this that "one should also be concerned to ensure that everyone has an equal chance to acquire the relevant competencies, skills and qualifications"

Criticism of the Commission
From the Paper
"The second aspect is the dynamic nature of the process of production and reorganization through automation. Products and processes are being automated more and more, and the worker is less in demand. This leads to anomalies in employment, wage structure and the system in place to protect the worker is now powerless to accommodate the changes. These changes have to be seen in the background while considering the efficiency of the commission in the present day context. The innovations occur day by day and come "both from technological innovation (labor-saving machines, automation) and from tight technical control over work processes."

Abstract
When most Americans think of the term Equal Employment Opportunity, they think about racial discrimination. However, as the Baby Boom generation, the largest generation in American history, gets older, age discrimination is likely to become a larger and larger factor in the discrimination lexicon. This paper shows that more and more equal employment opportunity lawsuits are likely to be initiated because older workers think they have not gotten fair treatment by their employers. In order to assess the current status of both public and legal thinking regarding age discrimination as an equal employment opportunity issue at present, a number of these publications are researched in this paper for recent events and cases regarding age discrimination.
From the Paper
"In denying the charges, Belk claimed that the changes were meant to consolidate operations from five division offices in the Southeast to the Charlotte headquarters (Dyer 2003). While that may make good business sense, it might also raise a red flag with observers, as most of the jobs in question where high-level jobs in the divisions which might be assumed to carry not only sizeable salaries, but would also be performed, in many cases, by older workers who were approaching retirement and would therefore be eligible for pensions. The attorney representing the employees noted "Many times in these kind of cases, the older employees who were making more money and bigger pensions are the first ones to go...You can't just decide to get rid of all of these old people just because they're making a lot of money." (Quoted by Dyer 2003)"

Equal Rights, Equal Obligations, Equal Opportunities, 2000.
This essay discusses women in the military and the law.

Abstract
This paper discusses the legal basis of the situation of women in the military, and relevant court cases such as Hoyt v. Florida, Taylor v. Louisiana, US vs. St. Clair, Rostker v. Goldberg, Craig v. Boren, and Schlesinger vs. Ballard. Discusses myths and truths regarding women and military service. Argues for equal rights, equal obligations, and equal opportunities within military and civilian spheres.
From the paper:
"Men and women are treated unequally in regards to military service. Men are required to register for the Selective Service when they turn 18, while women are exempt. While women are allowed to perform most jobs in the military, they are still restricted from some combat roles. This gender inequality stems from antiquated notions of female weakness and domesticity, which have no legal validity in our society today. Furthermore, limiting women?s roles in the military violates women?s rights to be full and equal citizens of the United States, with all the privileges, obligations, and duties that carries with it."

Abstract
This paper examines how America, one of the wealthiest and most powerful countries in the world, has not achieved equal opportunities for certain groups of people and how discrimination still exists at all levels. It focuses on the Equal Opportunity Employment Act (EEO) as it relates to women and people over the age of fifty. It discusses how the EEO act should be applied and enforced by employers and looks at methods in which human resources professionals should structure their EEO Policy in accordance with the law. Proper implementation of EEO regulations will help to ensure a diverse work force, which can lead to increased competitiveness, innovation and a spark in thought leadership which is unarguably a necessity in today?s global marketplace.
From the Paper
"Women make roughly seventy-six cents for every dollar a man earns. Relatevely women are worse off than men in terms of unemployment, education and occupational distribution despite laws such as the EEO that seek to eradicate such disparities. Research reveals that men represent ninety-five percent of senior level executiives among the top one thousand publicly held firms. Yet, women comprise of half the population and more women than men are recievng collegiate degrees. Why are women still unable to break through the glass ceiling? Gender discrimination in the workplace has been attributed to gender-role socialization, personal values and prejudices and differential education and training."

Abstract
This paper examines the history of equal employment opportunity and how it impacts human resource management today. Human resources managers must be aware of the how the EEO laws affect employees, potential employees, and retiring employees. This is because these eight Equal Employment Opportunity laws impact several areas of human resources management, including compensation, employee selection, opportunities for training and promotion, performance appraisal, and retirement.
From the Paper
"Another area of human resource management concerned with EEO laws is the area of promotion and job training opportunities. The Age Discrimination Act of 1967 is one law that targets 20% of all discrimination charges, which happen to fall into the category of age related discrimination. Age related discrimination tends to occur often when decisions are being made about additional job training, funding for continuing education, and downsizing through "early retirement" programs (Bohlander, 56). Other elderly people are looked over for hire or promotion because they are considered too old and un-hip to promote. Casual remarks that express ageist attitudes can easily be used to build cases of discrimination based on age (Bohlander, 56)."

Abstract
This paper applies Montessori's theories of child education to the concept of equal opportunities for all children, and why children would likely benefit from being exposed to inescapable differences among their peers. These theories are supported through investigating the introduction of children with differences into the classroom via two- way bilingual education training and why this type of educational method has benefits for all students within a given classroom environment.
