Kathryn said exactly what I wanted to talk about. I read the part about discrimination and immediately wanted to talk about it. It is wrong that we make judgements about someone because of their skin color. Its wrong that we want to hire men over woman because we think that they will need to leave to take care of a baby. I think what Kathryn said is spot on, how do we know that woman wants a child? Men and woman should be treated 100% equal in everything we do. Along with blacks and whites. I love when Wheelan says, "This chapter is not about discrimination. It is about information, which lies at the heart of many discrimination-related problems" (108). I believe that statement is very true about a lot of things in life. If you simply don't know something you shouldn't talk about it.
Another part in this chapter I found interesting was when Wheelan talks about health and how if the doctor suggest something we should do just that. Some people don't want to pay for medical help or they think that doctors just suggest things to make money. That is not the case. Doctors should do everything they can to help the patient. Doctors don't want to not do something and then later have the patient have something worse because they didn't do anything about it. That would cause more problems for either the doctor or the patient.
