Defined broadly, these include individuals of a minority race, women, older people, and those with physical or mental disabilities. Separate federal laws cover each of these classes.

Review the timeline of the federal equal employment opportunity laws and read about each law. Choose one of the federal laws and briefly summarize it, include when it took effect, the implications of the law, protections under the law, and to whom it applies.

From your unique perspective what recommendations would you make for changing or improving that law to reflect the current workplace? Provide an example to support your recommendations.
