Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses mandatory retirement. The writer discusses that such practices are an unfair form of discrimination. The writer maintains that they rob our nation of its competitive edge by forcing out experienced workers and it is costly as it adds to Social Security costs.

From the Paper
"I had a neighbor who was forced to retire when he was 70 but he was still very active and able to work. He was happy to not have to work anymore but he was upset because he felt the young people who took his job didn't know anything. He was bored and got into fights with his wife. He was always bothering younger people like me whenever I came by because he said all the other retired people his age were too old. "

Abstract
This paper examines how the aviation industry forces its pilots to retire at a certain age because of the belief that older pilots will be less able to do the job well. This paper investigates the validity of these claims. The writer asks the following questions: Are commercial airline pilots really a special case? Are these highly trained professionals really so afflicted with issues of ill health and poor performance as they enter their "golden years?" If this is so, then there must be facts and figures to support the case. If not, then we are dealing simply with a matter of a prejudice that must be combated.

From the Paper
"The commercial aviation industry's current mandatory retirement age of sixty is based directly on FAA regulations. The FAA, like so many other government agencies, has as its primary purpose ensuring the safety and well-being of the general public. Its regulations are supposed to be based on clear, scientific evidence. If the FAA says it is not allowed, then one can assume that there is sufficient data to support the position that such and such an action would be dangerous. Yet in the case of the mandatory retirement requirement, the situation is not so simple. In fact it may even be said, that the current regulation, which was promulgated in 1959, was the result not of careful scientific inquiry, but of corporate pressure."

Abstract
The paper contends that retirement should be mandatory and it should take place between the ages of 55 and 57. The paper discusses the benefits involved, including opportunities for volunteer work, more freedom and lower healthcare expenses for employers. The paper notes the concern that without a sufficient pension, retirees will become a burden on the state. The paper concludes that an earlier retirement age should be the way companies work since they would save a lot of money. This would allow them to look after the newer generation and future of the country while retirees use their experiences to help others.

From the Paper
"Society is always changing. It is not something that can ever be avoided, and in many ways this is a good thing. A society that is not willing to grow and change will simply stagnate instead of continuing to evolve into something that is even better than it was in the first place. Not all of society's changes are good or bad, however. Some changes are simply changes, and they must be accepted as such. One of these changes is the fact that the population of America is becoming older overall as people are living longer. Even though there are many people being born, there are large groups of baby boomers and others that are reaching retirement age. This has many implications for the future."

Abstract
This is a short analysis of a paper put out by the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal on the subject of the negative impacts and injustices of mandatory retirement. The position of the paper is that mandatory retirement is unjust, however, it does not take into consideration the history of mandatory retirement nor the generations of workers who are bear the consequences of this decision.

From the Paper
"Following a three-paragraph preamble outlining the importance of work to the individual, The Ontario Human Right Commission's paper, "A Time For Action," claims that "mandatory retirement is age discrimination ("A Time For Action." 4)." The paper's premise is that any notion of mandatory retirement based on age is immoral, sending a signal from the outset that this paper will fail to adequately and objectively address the more complex issues surrounding mandatory retirement, such as the economic disconnect between baby boomers and every generation thereafter. It is not so much that the idea of keeping anyone out of the workforce..."

Abstract
This paper examines the Ontario Human Rights Commission's article, "A Time For Action," which argues against mandatory retirement. The paper agrees that mandatory retirement is probably not the real answer to dealing with generational economic disparity in that it creates another set of injustices. At the same time, the paper claims that the article fails to adequately and objectively address the more complex issues surrounding mandatory retirement, such as the economic disconnect between baby boomers and every generation thereafter.

From the Paper
"After being introduced in tones that lend more to emotion, the paper develops on the fact that discrimination based on age, as opposed to an individual's ability, is what it calls "unequal treatment," which can mean a lot of things in bureaucratese ("A Time For Action." 32). In terms of this paper's premise, it means that people should not be fired for simply reaching their 65th birthday, and that is an excellent point. But what is clear from the outset is that pre-boomer generations, who are being kept out or kept down in the workforce, will rate for precious little mention in determining the right thing to do, so far as this paper is concerned."

Abstract
The paper reviews the ethical advantages and disadvantages of the practice of electing justices to the Supreme Court of Virginia, or of any American state. The paper considers the argument most commonly put forward by opponents of elected judiciaries but maintains that this argument is not as strong as its supporters might wish. The paper also looks at the ethical benefits to be found in having mandatory retirement ages imposed upon all presiding justices.

From the Paper
"The distinguished career of Harry L. Carrico immediately brings to the forefront the issue of what ethical advantages may be found in having a mandatory retirement age in place for justices. Because Justice Carrico and his colleagues have all been elected to the Supreme Court of Virginia (after having been nominated by the Governor, of course) it may be said that their tenure is characterized by a democratic strain that is not to be found in other western democracies (such as Canada) where jurists are selected to appellate courts (most notably the Supreme Court of Canada) and do not have to go through the rigorous process of winning confirmation in both houses of a bicameral legislature. While the American (and Virginian) model may strike some foreigners as dangerously permissive (placing as it does great power in an elected body to determine the composition of a court when such a state of affairs can easily lead to politics being injected into the proceedings) it does have many advantages."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the aging population of the United States is now experiencing new issues that are related to both a new global perspective on aging and the number of Americans that are reaching retirement age. The paper explains that within society there are those that believe that older Americans should not be forced to retire and they strive to employ those over 60 on at least a part time basis. The paper asserts that this is is a new philosophy that contradicts the traditional mandatory retirement beliefs for Americans at age 65. Additionally, the paper relates that with the baby boomer generation entering retirement at record numbers, it is estimated that by 2030 there will be the largest population of individuals over the age of 65 than this country has ever known.

Abstract
The mandatory retirement age has without a doubt encouraged many in leadership positions to retire before they feel ready: William Stavropolus is no doubt one of those individuals, whose leadership as the CEO of Dow Chemical Corporation ended in 2000 when he turned sixty. During his tenure as CEO, Stavropolus promoted a remarkable type of decision- making in terms of his management strategies, which this paper examines.
