Essays on Discriminatory

In the 1996 case, United States v. Virginia, the Supreme Court held that the state run Virginia Military Institute’s (VMI) official and traditional policy of only allowing male students to be admitted was unconstitutional. According to the Court, as a state institution that barred woman from entering without a showing that the policy was furthered or was substantially related to an important government purpose, violated the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause (United States v. Virginia, 1996). The Court came to this decision even though Virginia had decided to establish a female only school, the Virginia Women’s ...

Employee interviews are popular as part of the selection process because of its more personal nature and its ability to measure characteristics not accessible with other methods (US OPM 3). However, in a contemporary environment governed by anti-discrimination laws, drawing out an applicant’s behavior can be tricky and prone to misinterpretation for discriminatory hiring practices as in the case of Specialist Kayla Reyes.

Gender equality is an issue that has persisted throughout history and pervaded the same on one level or another. Throughout much of history, men have used religion, power and influence to subjugate and limit women. One might think that such a pattern would be tapering off and going away in the 21st century and within modern times. While many countries, including the one mentioned throughout this report, have been able to advance and progress in major ways, there are still a ton of opportunities to learn and grow.

Just like any other website dealing with social media, Facebook has terms of service that users must accept by clicking on a box before they go on to create an active account.

However, such terms of service are legally binding, and a violation on either side can result in a legal issue.

Diversity in the workplace is crucial in promoting productivity and fairness among workers. The dimensions of diversity such as age, gender, religious affiliation, and ethnicity among others exhibit a significant influence on an individual or collective healthcare needs and capabilities in various ways. The impact of gender on the healthcare needs, for example, is based on the physiological, anatomical, and behavioral differences between women and men. Concerning behavioral differences, contrary to women, men tend to engage in behaviors that put them at risk of getting injured. Women are also more predisposed to stroke than men owing to the presence ...

Introduction

The concept of discrimination at the workplace has gone through a significant transformation as societal norms evolved under the pressure of globalization and urbanization, international mobility and access to information. While a lot have changed since the US have accepted equal employment opportunities and freedom of its black population, many will argue that gender and racial discrimination are still deeply embedded in employment relationships (Shen et al, 2009). The point that should be made here is once the first step was done to promote diversity and inclusion in social and business contexts, the society cannot go back and accept ...

Over the past decade, there have been ongoing debates about limiting marriage rights for people involved in homosexual relationships or not. The debates rely on the arguments that it is discriminatory to exclude any sorts of people from marriage. Alternatively, extending marriage to homosexuals destroys moral values. The polarization is mainly connected with individual differences: political values, ethnicity, contact with lesbians and gays, and sexual prejudice (Jowett 39). Despite the polarized views, people engaged in homosexual relationships have the right to marry. Nowadays, the population feels more favorable toward civil rights for lesbians and gays. In this regard, supporters ...

The proposed essay would be on the topic of gender discrimination. Now, there can be no denial of the fact that gender discrimination is one of the major social ills that has the potential of thwarting the holistic development of the human society. As such, the topic in context would aim to scrutinize the social issue so as to achieve a better understanding of the matter.

Georgia recognizes the doctrine of employment at will. Employment at will means that in the absence of a written contract of employment for a defined duration, an employer may terminate an employee for a good cause, bad cause, or no cause at all, so long as it is not an illegal cause .

Discriminatory reasons include race, color, sex, religion, national origin, etc. In order to better understand how at-will employment works, I will provide three different scenarios ...

Derogatory Terms Used as Tools for Maintaining the Privileged Status of Young White Males

In the United States of America, young white males from the middle class occupy a privileged status and therefore enjoy many benefits, such as being able to attain their goals without facing social pressures and barriers.

Dear Dr. Karnes: It is my pleasure to present to you the justification report you authorized on June 14, 2016 about the feasibility of alternatives to eliminate discrimination at Logistics Aviation Company. An extensive analysis of the two options (implementing policy and creation of diverse groups and departments) revealed that even though both options will lead to elimination of discrimination in the company, implementing policy is the most feasible factoring in cost, time, efficiency and effectiveness. As such, I highly recommend implementing policy as a solution to discrimination. Thank you for ...

This case concerned equal employment opportunities. In the case, the company required individuals to pass two tests in order for them to be allowed to work inside the organization. The tests include the Wonderlic Personnel Test and the Bennett Mechanical Aptitude Test. The Wonderlic Personnel Test intended to test the general verbal abilities of the applicants.

For the purpose of comprehending the influence of society and culture on the individual and the community in general, two Indian individuals were interviewed on the internet.

Despite much hullabaloo on women's equality and empowerment, it is not yet ascertained that the fairer sex is considered as equal when it comes to employment. Four decades after the enactment of Equal Pay Act, research finds that the salary of female bosses runs 35 percent short of their male colleagues. Statistics galore revealing the wage differential across occupations and industries. By contrast, critics on the 'right' opine that the pay gap is just a 'myth' as women deserve to get paid less because they work in less demanding jobs than male counterparts.

Introduction

The United States of America, a country so poetically nicknamed to be “a melting pot” of cultures, has always been a more than desirable destination for the immigrants from all over the world. However, as the “times of economic uncertainty and social transformation have complicated American ideas about national and racial identity and have raised moral dilemmas concerning America’s obligations to immigrants from neighboring countries” (Duncan, 2007), the current U.S. immigration policy has started ...

In June 2016, the Pentagon reviewed and revised the Department of defense’s accession disqualifications with the effect of lifting the ban on transgender populations from serving in the military, but the debate on the suitability of the new policy has grown even more heated. This paper argues that barring transgender individuals from serving their nation in the most selfless way possible is at odds with both the constitution and the values that the military fights to defend. Given the large number of transgender personnel already serving or having served in the military, there is no reason to believe ...

Although it is an indelible stigma on the history of one of the strongholds of modern democracy, slaver is an imprescriptible part of the United States history. By the beginning of the American struggle for independence against the colonial British powers, slavery became institutionalized practice of the early American society (Boston). Even after the basic tenets of the American democracy were established by the Founding Fathers, the overwhelming majority of the colored population was depraved of the most basic civil rights and subjects to the harshest forms of labor and other exploitation. Despite the fact that responding to the ...

The historical perspectives on social work incorporate the idea that it could simply be reduced to common sense of experienced mothers, but the modern understanding of social work moves it far beyond this narrow interpretation. Nowadays, “social workers constantly try to make a positive difference to service users’ lives and support community members in a variety of ways” (Stepney & Ford, 2000, p.xiii). In this process, a balanced combination of theory and practice is required, while practice standards used to protect the individuals in society and enhance social justice are based on the solid body of theoretical perspectives, frameworks and ...

This paper answers two fundamental questions in two sections. They will cover aspects of the AAS course and provide an insight into relevant issues and matters relating to the Asian American community and history.

Question 1: Race, Racialization and the Law

Asian Americans were always viewed in the context of “Asian immigrants”. This is for several reasons. First of all, the history of the United States rising as a prosperous nation happened from the east coast. And for various reasons, the first colonies created in the 1600s were made up almost exclusively of migrants from the British Isles. However, as time went on, the colonies expanded ...

Arguments for Aboriginal Child Protection

In most countries of the world, the level of democracy has reached recognition points whereby people have exclusive rights to express their democratic rights. Governments are made on the basis of the popularity of political parties and individuals who dominate these governments tend to make policies that protect their interests and those of their families. These individuals usually constitute the majority in the country and once they get into throne, they tend to disregard the positions of the minorities. In some cases, public policies tend to be discriminatory where social services and protection are offered to particular groups while ...

Georgia, a Supreme Court case which was decided in 1972, the constitutionality of the death penalty was addressed.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a milestone in United Stated labor law. It was the first comprehensive piece of legislation to prohibit employment discrimination by race, color, religion, sex or national origin. It also prescribed the allocation of federal funding to any discriminatory program at the State level. Additionally, it created the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which was mandated with enforcing anti-discrimination federal laws in the workplace as well as legislation that prohibit punitive measures against employees who complain about the treatment. The EEOC can also file a lawsuit against employers on behalf of victimized ...

Personal Reflection:

Abstract Cultural bias is a condition that can have great effect upon the education of a student. In Canada it has been seen that while immigrants are quite welcome and even encouraged to settle within the provinces, they are still seen as second-class in several ways. Two of those ways involve their place in education and their cultural identities. While Canada is renowned for its acceptance of many various races and peoples, it is not as well known for its quiet assimilation of its immigrants into the Canadian culture. Immigrants are not paid as much, do not always receive ...

Telling one’s, or a community’s, story is subject to complex reductionsims of racial and sexist stereotyping. The subjugation of specific ethnicities, particularly African-Americans, and genders, particularly women, by whites and men respectively represents a clear example of unjustified exercise of power by specific groups over another. Indeed, by belittling and/or demonizing one group by another, only power can be exercised “justifiably”. There is no shortage, indeed, of lenient or more violent means by which a dominating group controls another, subjugated one. The superiority / inferiority duality is probably one most common mechanism adopted by oppressors in order ...

Abstract

The demographic trends in the US based on religion, race and age are fast changing as organizations strive to implement policies to achieve a balanced workplace atmosphere. It would be necessary for the organization to have a working environment where the supervisors and managers are appointed or recruited in ways that represent equality in terms of race, religion, gender and age. Organizations need to proactively foster a culture that appreciates diversity such that everyone is given an equal opportunity in terms of employment and roles to be performed at the firm. With the current practice at the organization where ...

Conflict between two political personalities is a common issue. Similarly, in US the major difference is found between two candidates who are eligible from their parties for presidential election. Those famous political personalities are Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. They both have different perspectives on each issue of the country they both come up with different solutions for an issue. It is the reason that they both have different views on foreign policy, unemployment, and taxation.

Nowadays social groups and individuals are not perceived as a closed and self-sufficient phenomena. They are included in the general relationship and interdependence. Universal interconnection, interdependence and relationships are extremely complicated by contradictory processes of globalization. The role and influence on the formation of national consciousness of the cultural self-identity should be borne in mind that national identity is implemented at two levels: the social (public, community at large) and personal (personal) (Bem, 1967). The need for self-determination has always been an important human need. Erich Fromm believed that this need is rooted in human nature (Fromm, 1939). Social ...

The Gender Discrimination in Criminal Justice System

Introduction Traditionally, women have not been viewed as criminals because of their less aggressive nature, making the act of crime to be mainly associated with the male gender. There are several theories brought forth to explain why the female gender would, or would not engage in crime. The theories, however, do not provide satisfactory explanations to the phenomenon leading to counterarguments. Also, the criminal justice of the United States of America has been viewed as discriminatory because it fails to address the gender needs of female offenders whose number has increased over time. This essay discusses the historical perspectives, ...

Employment discrimination refers to preventing discrimination at the workplace on the basis of age, sex, nationality, religion, ethnicity, physical disabilities and various other parameters (Player 4).

I am working towards becoming a training and development manager. I harbor the belief that all capable individuals should assist their colleagues to achieve their optimum potentials. Ideally, a fortunate or less informed individual should be willing to assist the less informed or the less fortunate ones. An individual’s weakness should not be a basis for discrimination or despise. Instead, it should be a valuable opportunity for one to build greater and more desirable competencies for another person. Where an individual shows the desire and willingness to develop other people’s talents, they also benefit themselves in one ...

Introduction

History has demonstrated a lot of examples, when certain discriminatory measures had the legal binding force and had to be applied. It has also been demonstrated that administrative tools could totally limit the scope of one’s realization of the rights and freedoms which have general character. Among the main political rights, the right to vote/elect those ones whom you believe plays fundamental role, since it could define the course of development of the whole nation, resolve social issues, and defend certain categories of people.

Historical examples demonstrate the importance of such citizens’ right, as it was often a ...

After the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, the Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1968.

Introduction

Upholding ethical character is essential to the success of any organization. In fact, lack thereof compromises a company’s performance as it leads to mediocre performance or complete failure. With this in mind, it is worth appreciating the fact that the people in a work environment are exposed to multiple forms of discrimination. The development of this issue is largely accredited to the fact that the corporate environment has a broad level of diversity. As such, some individuals might not appreciate the personalities of other workers, and they may end up making discriminatory criticisms. Sexually oriented discrimination is very ...

Introduction

Over the decades, the United States of America has been an egalitarian human society that has dedicated its resources to the eradication of women inequality and racism (Katz & Moore, 2004). Besides, it has formulated numerous legislations to push for equality for women, emancipation of slaves, and civil rights movements that aimed to promote equal treatments of the American Society (Katz & Moore, 2004). Despite these tremendous steps, racism and gender discrimination in the workplace still continues to be prevalent. In particular, women and minority groups like African-American have been the main target of this discrimination. The discrimination takes various forms ...

The two articles in context, one penned by Donna Laframboise, titled “Roll Back the Red Carpet for Boys” and the other written by Stevie Cameron, titled “Our Daughter, Ourselves”, have two very different perspectives to the issue of gender equality and feminism. In my view, a close scrutiny of the respective writings would enable one to understand how the articles explore two very different avenues of gender discrimination citing proper examples and subjective arguments. According to my analysis, while Donna Laframboise focuses on the fact that the boys find themselves in oblivion of the society while there is outcry ...

The lip-plate culture is practiced among the Mursi tribe of Ethiopia. The Mursi tribe lives in the lower Omo valley close to the border with Sudan. The Lip-plate culture expresses high levels of maturity among women (Mursi Online, par 2). In particular, the Lip-plate is a sign that a woman can give birth. Furthermore, the Lip-plate ensures that a woman is not mistaken as a member of another neighboring tribe. A western view would lead to an assumption that the Lip-plate is a form of body mutilation that affects women. However, the Lip-plate is a body art that is ...
