Equal opportunity Law as
administered by the U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission includes rights given to
individuals under various
laws such as the
Civil Rights Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Age
Discrimination in Employment act and others.
In addition to employment, equal opportunity also
refers to equal access to such services as health
care, education and social welfare. The
collection of laws passed by the United States
Congress give protections to individuals with regard
to discrimination of race, gender, age, national
origin and religion.
The Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission was established to enforce all of the
federal laws regarding discrimination and equal
treatment in the workplace. Some of the laws
enforced by the EEOC are called "affirmative action"
laws which provide certain segments of the
population that suffer persistent discrimination in
employment preferential rights over those not in
these population segments. Some consider
affirmative action nothing more than reverse
discrimination but it has helped bring many socially
oppressed population segments escape a poverty
driven cycle.
Federal and state governments
require the implementation of affirmative action
programs in governmental hiring and contracting.
Some countries consider such practices to be illegal
under their equal opportunity laws. The
concepts of equal opportunity and affirmative action
have been controversial in their implementation and
in their attempt to arrive at a state of equality
for all.
