19951 Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. America, the concepts upon which it is founded, and American business seem, at times, to be very different, independently sovereign nations. The general America is a land of democratic freedom built upon ideals of equality, opportunity, freedom, and independence. American business, on the other hand, is a land of dictatorships, persecution, exclusion, intolerance, crime, discrimination, ruthlessness, manipulation, and hate. In order to reconcile these two very different structures that exist side by side in the American psyche, our government over time has enacted laws that are intended to contain, regulate, and control business. But, businesses are what provide politicians with the bulk of their campaign finances, and as such are not to be trifled with. So, rather than taking on businesses by themselves, politicians band together to present a unified front and, when the find that there are differences between the American ideal and the reality of American business, they enact laws to address that problem. One such act, among many, is the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. This act, like all others that restrict business' ability to do whatever it wants, has met with stiff resistance from that front. Essentially, the law makes illegal the firing, denial of employment or benefits to any person solely upon the basis of their age. It is the purpose of this paper to explore this Act and to examine it from its inception, application, effect, and the court cases / decisions surrounding it.

76 Sexual Discrimination in the Modern Workplace. This paper is on sexual discrimination in the modern workplace. Among all industrialized nations, the United States has established the best system in preventing and combating sexual harassment incidents in the workplace. In 1980, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued guidelines affirming that sexual harassment in the workplace is a form of sex discrimination and imposing strict liability on employers for failing to take reasonable preventive or remedial measures. As of 1981, federal courts at every level have rendered decisions in a number of related cases, which are generally favorable to employees-complaints. Since the passage of Civil Rights Act of 1991, employer liability in the incidents of sexual harassment in the workplace has been increased considerably. Since sexual harassment in the workplace can cause various adverse effects to employees and directly impede the ideal of attaining gender equality in employment, it is of vital importance to pay close attention to the efforts made and the experience accumulated in this field by the United States.

88 Dispute Resolution. This paper discusses the importance of dispute resolution in the workplace. This is a virtual workplace dispute that occurred in 1974 in a London-funded population control agency in a Southeast Asian country. The population program at that time was at its height and the continued existence of this agency hinged on the number of acceptors (of family planning methods) it could gather. The main office in London required better performance from the local agency: their number of acceptors was un-impressive in proportion to the population. The managing director looked far and wide for a good information officer and tried a few, but these would leave the agency quickly. None of these made clear what drove them away. Solutions were needed to solve this problem.
