Latinos Need Not Apply: The Effects Of Industrial Change And Workplace Discrimination On Latino Employment, Edwin Meléndez, Françoise Carré, Evangelina Holvino

New England Journal of Public Policy

The objective of the research described here is to assess how recent changes in the organization of industry and discrimination in the workplace affect the employment of Latinos.

Employers are responding to intensified competitive conditions that developed during the 1980s: increased international competition in domestic markets and deregulation in telecommunications, banking, insurance, and other industries.

Why Should Educators Care About Argumentation?, Harvey Siegel Jan 1995

Why Should Educators Care About Argumentation?, Harvey Siegel

Philosophy Articles and Papers

Educators who are reflective about their educational endeavours ask themselves questions like: What is the aim of education?
