who is at least 10 years older and/or younger than you. You must choose one
person from each category, not the same person. Ask him/her the following
questions and document the answers for each interview.

age.)

ever experienced discrimination in the workplace? How did you feel? How did you
react? Please explain what happened.

During your
lifetime, what significant current event have you experienced? (e.g., 911)

How has
this significant event shaped your experiences with others?

After you
have the aforementioned interview questions answered, please provide the following
regarding your findings:

Compare
and/or contrast the experiences of the person you interviewed to your own.
Provide one example. Write an explanation at least two paragraphs in length for
each interview. Be sure to address the following questions, along with any
additional information your wish to include and/or share:

What
conclusions can you draw from the commonalities?

How could
some of these situations be mediated or resolved (e.g., by the person

against employees).
