...Affirmative action was part of executive order 11246 which supports Title VII of the civil rights act of 1964 that renders discrimination illegal employment decisions on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Affirmative action involves the employer brining qualified women and minorities into a workplace from which it has been determined that they are excluded in order to make the workplace more reflective of the population from which employees are drawn (Bennett-Alexander & Hartman, 2007). Affirmative action is not only in place to just end discrimination but to actively seeking individuals for employment and promoting individuals within an organization who represent specific minority groups and/or women. The Rights of White males are also protected if there is evidence of discrimination. For example, if a company institutes an affirmative action plan to correct an imbalance in their work force between men and women; once that imbalance has been corrected the plan should be discontinued. If not and the practice continues an employee who is a white male and is qualified for a position but is passed over by a female who is not as qualified as he is would have grounds for sex discrimination under Title VII. Affirmative Action is not in place to institute quotas, quotas are prohibited. Affirmative action is in place to make sure that qualified woman or minorities are given equal opportunity for employment in whatever position they are applying or being...

...1. Do you believe Oiler’s employee rights were violated? Explain your position. Peter Oiler’s termination from his job by the Winn-Dixie Corporation was an outright and blatant violation of his employee rights. Though balancing employee rights with appropriate discipline is an ongoing challenge for HR professionals. But in this case of Oiler, the work place behavior of the employer had not changed and there is no problem, with the co-employers also. Also in the own time, the company have no rights about the way he dress. Hence there is also no such challenge for the Winn-Dixie that it has to terminate Oiler. Hence I would consider that Winn-Dixie has violated the employee rights of Oiler. Also his social security has been impaired. When we consider the situation here is more normal than a similar case in 2005, which happened in Georgia (from the article). According to that, the courts consider this as sexual discrimination under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 (deprivation of constitutional right) and Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution (all peoples are same). And the development of trans-gender transitions has a real concern and the laws accept the claims of discrimination under employer’s stereotyping of genders. Thus Oiler’s claim is acceptable and Winn-Dixie has to oblige to the claims of Oiler. Here Oiler’s can be taken as an example of opposition of trans-genders in the general public. Though the laws are guarding them, the manipulation of thought...

...oward case stu“What do we do with Howard?” Synopsis: Tad Pierson had recently been appointed as a project engineer. As project engineer for one of Agrigreen’s plants, he is responsible for the operation of the plant surveying group. For some time now Tad had been aware of some performance, safety, and conflicts with personnel within the group. These issues appear to be escalating in frequency and are causing Tad concern regarding the safety of the employees, the production schedules, and possible actions that he might need to take. Agrigreen, Inc. is a company that manufactures a verity of agricultural fertilizer. With plants located in the western United States and Canada, Agrigreen employs certified surveyors to ensure quality and safety of each project.

Mel Cutler, a surveyor’s helper, after being employed by the company for only a few years was assigned to assist Howard.

...When an employer looks at your resume, you've got about 6-10 seconds to make a good impression. To capture the reader's attention, you need to be clear and to-the-point. Be Organized and Logical In addition to reviewing your experience, employers also use the resume to sense whether you are organized, logical, and concise. Make sure your resume is balanced, neat, visually appealing, and flows consistently. Clearly separate sections and emphasize section titles. Keep a Positive Tone Your resume should present you in the best possible light. If you don't possess every skill an employer is seeking, do not emphasize your shortcomings. Focus on what you can offer. Combine Sections When Possible Try to combine any short sections together to make your resume more compact. For example, if you only have one entry under training, consider placing it under your education instead and change the section title to "Education and Training." Use Common Section Headings Use common section headings. Examples: Objective, Experience, Employment, Work History, Skills, Summary, Summary of Qualifications, Accomplishments, Achievements, Capabilities, Education, Professional Affiliations, Publications, Licenses and Certifications, and Honors. Be Concise and Omit Irrelevant Information Employers don't want to read a long, drawn-out version of your life's accomplishments. They have stacks of resumes to read, and want to know quickly whether or not you would be a good fit for their company. So, be clear and...

...Cultural Action for Freedom Paulo Freire Introduction I think it is important—for my own sake as well as the reader’s—that we try, at the very outset, to clarify some points fundamental to the general understanding of my ideas on education as cultural action for freedom. This is all the more important since one of the basic aims of this work, where the process of adult literacy is discussed, is to show that if our option is for man, education is cultural action for freedom and therefore an act of knowing and not of memorization. This act can never be accounted for in its complex totality by a mechanistic theory, for such a theory does not perceive education in general and adult literacy in particular as an act of knowing. Instead, it reduces the practice of education to a complex of techniques, naively considered to be neutral, by means of which the educational process is standardized in a sterile and bureaucratic operation. This is not a gratuitous assertion. We will later clarify the radical distinction between knowing and memorizing and the reasons why we attach such importance to the adult literacy process. But first, some words about the socio-historical conditioning of the thinking presented here, as well as an explanation of the necessity for critical reflection on such conditioning. From a non-dualistic viewpoint, thought and language, constituting a whole, always refer to the reality of the thinking subject. Authentic thought-language is generated...

...all can be as one. Soccer is also a sport that doesn't really need many components. One may get a couple of people together and a round ball and start kicking it around and that may be considered soccer. Cost efficiency is one of the major reasons soccer has grown and still is growing throughout the world. Soccer is the most exciting sport because its action is non-stop, because its skills are impressive and because it demands such high loyalty. Firstly, in this entertaining game the action is continuous and never ending. The game consists of 90 minutes in total or two halves of 45 minutes. In soccer, the time always keeps on ticking and it isn't affected by the blowing of a whistle or by the call of a penalty. Even when there is an injury, the time keeps on ticking and the only person that prolongs the match is the referee himself, who has his own watch and can add 'injury' time to the 90 minute match. This helps a lot in keeping the action and adrenaline of the game continuous throughout the entire match because there are no stoppages and no excuses, the game just goes on. There are also many other reasons that make the action non-stop such as the players, who are always running and moving around the field of play, and the ball which is always in...

...the job working with him noticed he was always drinking a quart of milk and wondered if it was “spiked” and Larry was using the milk to mask the bad breath odor. Larry had bad speech habits therefore unable to use that as an indicator of him drinking. During his last job, it was a little behind schedule due to the inability to get good carpenters at the beginning of the season and the job was going OK. Larry had actually never been caught drinking. The rumors at first were ignored because they did not represent a safety risk to themselves or others. The manager has suspensions that Larry is drinking on the job but has no sufficient proof. In any type of disciplinary situation, Larry would be innocent until proven guilty. No disciplinary action could be taken based solely on rumor and suspension. The next step that management would be able to do is an investigation to see if the rumors are supported by actual facts. The managers could interview various employees that have worked with Larry and attempt to get information. The manager would need some type of proof that Larry was observed drinking, what type of liquor was he drinking, and when was he drinking (the middle of the day, end of the shift, etc.). Some companies would require the...
