The violation of moral rights
Is the prevention of the violation of moral rights the only ground for outlawing discriminatory practices in the private sector? Might we have reasons to outlaw discrimination in hiring even if they would not necessarily violate anyone’s rights?
Apart from purely economic considerations, there are also strong ethical arguments against discrimination in hiring practices: everyone should have an equal opportunity to pursue their career goals regardless of race or gender, etc., meaning any type of unfairness risks creating serious inequalities between individuals or groups in society. Such injustice violates basic principles of human dignity and justice, even if no one’s legal rights have been violated; it thus undermines notions such as freedom and equality upon which democracies rely—and makes it easier for oppressive regimes to arise. In other words: preventing discrimination helps protect human rights across societies as much as within them.
Ultimately then—aside from protecting moral rights specifically—there are many additional grounds for laws banning certain types of discriminatory behavior in the private sector such as ensuring equitable workplaces free from prejudice-based decision-making processes when hiring staff – a practice essential for promoting social harmony rather than division along arbitrary lines within our societies today..
