Is gender-based pricing fair

Is gender-based pricing fair?

In the article is gender based pricing fair by Jonathan Mintz
it talks about opinions of gender based pricing. Some people think that gender based pricing is fair because in some situations is should cause less, such as giving a man a buzz cut takes a lot less time than cutting a women's hair in layers. Also cleaning a mans business shirt is a lot easier than laundering a women's blouse with ruffles or delicate buttons. And others because its been illegal in New York city to charge different prices since 19998s. People also say that if businesses want to charge different prices , they need to have legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons for the differences. I believe that gender based is not acceptable but at the same time at moments its necessary. At circumstanes its necessary to have gender based pricing because with some things it takes more time which should make it cost more money, as if a women was to get her hair done it should cost more for her than a man because with a women it will take longer to wash her hair nd less time to wash his, and then to get a man hair done it would take less time to do his hair than hers. But under other circumstances men should be costed more. Do you think that gender based pricing is fair. Do you think that the stores that use gender based pricing should get a fine? Or should more stores have gender based pricing?

Give Lance another chance

 Give Lance another Chance 


In the article Give Lance another chance it talks about the story of Lance Armstrong lying to the world fans, friends, family and everybody else about winning all his races that he cheated because he was on steroids that may have caused his cancer. Armstrong lied to his fans, family, and friends and tried to apologize on the Oprah Winfrey show. People say that Armstrong shouldn't be forgiven and others think he should because he raised so much money for cancer patients and did so much good so they think he should be forgiven. I think Lance should be given another chance because he did alot of good for cancer patients and he raised a lot of money to help him these children so he should be thanked for that not punished. People think he shouldn't be forgiven because he lied and he might have caused his own cancer but I think other wise Lance Armstrong has done alot of good and he shouldn't be punished for it he helped alot of sick cancer patients no matter how he did it.

New Face of America



The New Faces of America

In the article the new faces of America by veronica Majerol it talks about the white population going down sense the 1950s and the Hispanic/Latino population rising. soon its going to be a majority-minority nation, soon the minority will be the majority nation because all of the minorities will make up the majority because the whites will soon drift off. The republicans begin reassessing positions on immigrations to get more votes from the Hispanics in the next election. I think its a good thing that the minorities are increasing and the majorities are decreasing because its time for the minorities to take charge and be in control the Caucasians have been in control for a long time now and I think its time for other cultures to take charge be in control but not take advantage of their power and treat everybody equal like how where supposed to be. Some people might take this as a bad thing but I see it as a good thing I think think will be good for our country and good for the people in it. This will make a big change in America that will probably improve our nation. how would you feel if people of color was running this country, if they had the upper hand in this world? Do you think the world will get better with a non-white having the upper hand, or do you think it would get worst?
