Hello.  For sociology class I have to do a presentation on a discriminatory issue.  For this, I need to prepare some articles and snippets showing different viewpoints and discussion questions.  What would you suggest?

I thought about showing how minimum wage harms people who are already disadvantaged, but I can't seem to find an article that shows how minimum wage is anti-discrimitory.

Schools are labour camps.

 you could look up stuff relating to 'gender discrimination'.

This article helped me realize how government "protection" of certain groups from arbitrary discrimination actually hurts the intended beneficiaries. Perhaps you will find it useful:

Look up Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams.

To paraphrase Marc Faber: We're all doomed, but that doesn't mean that we can't make money in the process.
