Quarter 2, Week 5: Chinese Teachers

First, read the following article regarding three HIV-positive men who have been denied teaching jobs in China:

Do you think this is more significant as an economic issue (one that restricts people's ability to make money) or as a civil rights issue (one that restricts people's human rights)?  Explain.

I believe it is both an economic and civil rights issue. It is restricting the chance of gaining employment, therefor destroying a person's right to make money, as well as not letting get the job they want.
