...Cases Study on Sexual Harassment Name: Institution: Case Study on Sexual Harassment The topic of sexual harassment brings a lot of questions to mind. The exact definition of sexual harassment varies from area to area and from one country to the next. The online dictionary defines sexual harassment as requests, advances or favors that are sexual in nature and are unwelcome. It is also conduct that is sexually inclined. The conduct is either physical or verbal and submission to it either or implicitly makes it a term of a person’s employment. A person’s employment may depend on whether or not they give in to this pressure. McDonald and Backstrom (2008) define sexual harassment as an act associated with coercion or the use of threats and linking it to job benefits which are tangible. It is also unwelcome conduct which is sexual and interferes with their work, looks that are unwanted and unwanted physical contact as well as touching (McDonald and Backstrom, 2008). The way by which the victims of sexual harassment and those who observe it perceive it and how the employers tackle these issues when they arise is usually related to an organization’s liability risk as stipulated in the sexual harassment laws which are present in North America. In spite of over 30 years of academic research on sexual harassment combined with prohibition lays on harassment in work places Elkins and Velez-Castrillon (2008) still believe that sexual harassment is still a problem which is growing...

...Gay Marriage Ruins the Current Stellar Institution of Marriage Marc S. Fedroff Everest University Online Gay Marriage Ruins the Current Stellar Institution of Marriage Starting with the last prompt of the assignment, according to our textbook, “Win-win orientations assume that there are usually ways to resolve differences so that everyone gains…When all people are committed to finding a mutually acceptable solution, a win-win resolution is possible” (Wood, 2009, p. 230). Unfortunately, here is the precise problem with the religious zealots who call themselves Christians. They are forever stuck in a win-lose orientation. What becomes ludicrous is they believe somehow, the human right to share love with an individual of the same sex in a committed relationship with all of the legal benefits will cause strife for them. None of the gay population is telling them to marry same-sex individual yet they insist, if gays want to marry and raise a family, it must be with someone of the opposite sex. Heterosexuals are doing such an exemplary job of getting marriage right that is common knowledge the divorce rate hovers around fifty percent. The point here is the INSTITUION OF MARRIAGE has been in the toilet for quite some time now and the only thing extending the legal right to gay couples will do is boost the economy with fabulously lavish weddings and then the inevitable lining of divorce lawyers’ pockets. Cynical humor is part of the gay culture’s way of dealing with the...

It has been a natural habit for me since my youth to be motivated by giving others guidance and clarity through different types of obstacles and challenges. Earning my degree will be one of the final steps I will need to reach my career goals and ambitions. I would Like to open up a consulting firm that handles direct services of counseling to people.

My 10 year experience working directly with at-risk youth in a school setting, help me gain a drive to facilitate young people in minding their family strife.

There is no greater satisfaction, than assisting a young person and their family through chaos and developing a plan to having a healthy relationship. I believe that a healthy family promotes a sound mind and body within a person and is an intricate piece in becoming a productive citizen. In order for me to be competent in the counseling role, I need to acknowledge and recognize my strengths and weaknesses. Strengths that would help me in the counseling field are primarily centered <?n my genuine "want" for people to do well and be productive for themselves.

Almost every person at some point has been affected by the preventable, but incurable disease. This paper is will address the targeted population with people who have AIDS. Also, data about the population demographics, and the general impact that changing demographics may have on the health care market, why and how will changes in the demographics of this population affect health care. Furthermore, identify two key health care-related challenges with patients with AIDS, and describe how a chronic disease wellness programs may affect the cost for the demographic. And last, how can an individual patient in the community and society as whole address these challenges. The Center for Disease Control (CDC), has estimated that there are more than one million people living with HIV/AIDS in the United States (Center of Disease Control, 2011). AIDS arrived in the United States in 1969 through an infected immigrant from Haiti. In the 1970s and 1980s, there was an estimated one million or more people that were infected with AIDS and half million individuals had died from AIDS in the United States. HIV is a silent disease that can be undetected. CDC stated that roughly fifty thousand annual infections between 2006 and 2009 in the United States are infected with AIDS.

...103rd birthday 2-8-2013. About 2 months ago while I was watching the news on KARE 11 one of the headlines was that the “Boy Scouts of America are considering allowing Gays in the organization”. On 2-6-13 I read a news article published by Miranda Leitsinger, a staff writer for NBC news states “Boy Scouts: We need more time for decision on gay membership”. This was brought before the Supreme Court in 2000 and they ruled in their favor stating that this was legal free speech by a private organization and thus did not have to allow gays to join. I wonder if it was a sense of shame and conscience that brought about the statement in January. As society in a whole our views have changed about limiting people to organizations based on their sex, sexual orientation, color or ethnicity. With the recent articles about being gay and bullied coming out over the last year it doesn’t look good that the Boy Scouts sill up hold such unethical policy of discrimination. The solution that was put in place by the Boy Scouts after they had released to the press that they were going to consider allowing gays in Scouting was followed by poll for people for or against allowing gays. This is a Utilitarianism theory on the boy scouts part as they were looking for the public to make up their mind for them and be able to blame others. The Boy Scouts of America have Absolut phobia and should develop their own autonomy as to whether they want to about the situation. “The mission statement of the Boy scouts...

...Jessica Suarez Unit 3 IP Hate crimes are a tragic part of American history. Hate crimes can be defined as violent, intolerant, bias motivated actions against people because of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, disability or gender. Hate crimes have probably existed since the beginning of society. Every minute of every day in the United States you can find children playing. You also go to find somebody talking on their cell phone to their loved one. Every day so once churning sweet 16 is getting the car of their dreams. And also 21 times a day so one is being be up, bullied, or some other kind of hate crime is going on. Create a profile of the typical individual who commits hate crimes. When creating this profile the only thing I had to do was look in the mirror. Anyone can commit a crime. It doesn’t have to be physical. Most hate crimes are verbal and or mental. But if he had to give a profile they would be mainly young, Caucasian males between the ages of 16 to 25. The people who commit these hate crimes usually judge people based on their sexual orientation and or their race. It is very common for minorities to commit hate crimes not only against other races religion for sexual orientations but against Caucasian people as well. Who are some targets and/or victims of hate crimes? Typically in the United States the victims of hate crimes are normally any minority class other than Caucasian. And anybody that is not heterosexual. African Americans, Middle...

...The Salvation Army Week4TeamC Ethics and Social Responsibilities 17 June 2013 Professor Ward Scheitrum The Salvation Army The Salvation Army’s duty to the community stems back in history. In, 1852, William Booth started his ministerial profession, desiring to win over the hearts and minds of England and bring them to Christ. He would walk the streets of London as an advocate for the gospel of Jesus Christ and would primarily focus his messages to the needy. He disagreed with the ideas of the stance that the churches of London took. He decided to take his idea to the people, instead of fighting the church. His commitment led to the disagreement with the religious leaders, who believed in the teachings of the churches beliefs. He decided to leave the church because of that reason and toured across England, to establish meetings in order to gain substantial like minded believers. This essay keys in on a few important points, such as; influences of the organization’s social commitment, social responsibility, and their potential moral and ethical effects on the world today. What many people do not know is that the Salvation Army is motivated by the Christian church. The Salvation Army improves the quality of life and to meet the needs of those less fortunate regardless of religious preference or any other bias. They are here to help but their main focus and social initiative is to spread the word of God and to help others in his name. This is their...

...Women and Sexual Orientation Adam J. Hayden ETH/125 January 25, 2013 Lyron Baggerly Women and Sexual Orientation For millennia there has existed no single group of individuals more discriminated against, nor marginalized in civil or basic human rights, in politics, economics or domestically, than women. Notwithstanding the Women’s Right Movement, this percentage of the United States populace has continued to be sidelined by the patriarchal notions of the past. Likewise, the consensus views of society concerning Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals and Transgendered individuals (GLBT), historically has been that of derision and malice, viewing those individuals of this community as an abomination against all morals and ethics, usually using religious scriptures to back up these claims. Within the last couple decades, headway has been made to provide these two minority groups equal rights as established by Federal and State laws, but let us look at the history of these movements within the United States. The traditional role of women, as maintained by archaic and patriarchal views is that of a housewife. Her duty is to be subordinate to her husband in all things, providing him with offspring, raising them, and generally be a homemaker, supporting him emotionally, but making no decisions without his say so. If she were blessed enough to have a husband who respected her, she might be able to find a part-time job outside of the home, in order to supplement his paycheck...

...premarital sex is wrong, yet it is still widely practiced around the world. The reason marriage was created was to join two people of the opposite sex together in a holy sacrament that would make the couple one. God's reason for marriage is quoted in the bible when he said, "For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh" . The Sacrament of marriage is one of the most sacred Sacraments in the Catholic Religion. By performing premarital sex, the couple is breaking a covenant with God and is performing a sin. Marriage is the joining of a couple in the eyes of God and in the eyes of the State. When two people are joined into marriage they become on in flesh and one spirit. Sexual intercourse within marriage is for this reason good and of great blessing both to the couple, to the family and to the church. However, outside of marriage it creates a conflict of body and soul. This conflict may not at first be evident but later it can result it real soul damage occurring between the two people involved. God tells us that we should control...

...During an interview before a live audience in the KLRU studio in 2010, Evan Smith, editor of the Texas Tribune, put his chin in his hand and asked Gov. Rick Perry: "Governor, why does Texas continue with abstinence education programs when they don't seem to be working? In fact, we have the third-highest teen pregnancy rate in the country, among all the states." "Abstinence works," Perry replied, his arms folded and resting on the table be-tween them. Smith tried again – the point of the question, he said, was that abstinence education, by the stats, doesn't exactly seem to be working. It does work, Perry replied; it's the "best form ... to teach our children," he said. "Can you give me a statistic suggesting it works?" Smith asked. I Heart Pants abstinence website "I'm sorry, I'm just going to tell you ... from my own personal life, abstinence works," said Perry, increasingly agitated. "If the point is ... we're going to stand up here and say, 'Y'all go have sex and have the whatever is going on ... and here's the ways to have safe sex' – I'm sorry; call me old-fashioned if you want, but that's not what I'm going to stand up in front of the people in the state of Texas and say, 'That's the way we need to go, and forget about abstinence.'" Of course, neither Smith nor anyone else was asking the governor to "forget about abstinence," but the truth, say advocates for adolescent health, including doctors and educators, is that teaching "abstinence only" has not worked to...

...attitude is even supported by Josey’s own father. The men of the plant go beyond simply just showing their dislike for women in their workplace and torture the women of the mine but verbally and physically. Josey’s sexually activities are put in question throughout the movie. She attempts to seek help from her manager to the owner of the company who begin to blame her for her activity. Josey attempts to gain the support of her fellow female co-worker and get the men to understand that they are there for the opportunity to do the job, too. But she finds herself alone and begins to take action on her own. She has finally had a enough and partner’s with a lawyer to create the first ever class action sexual harassment lawsuit against the company. The defense calls into question her sexual conduct as a 16 year old child; however, her lawyer gets the only witness to attempt the truth of her rape as a child. After this her co-workers, family, and entire town support her and she overcomes adversity. It is very interesting in this case because many organizations resisted hiring woman and allowing woman to work in jobs which were typically held by men. But in this case, we find a company – yes forced by law but still...

...not necessarily accepted. 2. Hijras are people in South Asia who were born male, but take on female roles. These roles can include women’s clothing, chores, and a gender identity. By understanding that it’s not just America that has abnormal sexual identities, these rare cases are seen all over the world. If you argue that people who wish to change their sexual identity were raised improperly, the study of Hijras can lead you to the conclusion that it is, in fact, biology that controls our actions. Human sexuality is consistent throughout the entire world, whether it be transsexuals or hijras, there are always cases that defy the typical gender identities we label as “normal”. For another example, in Thailand, a transgender male is called a kathoey. A kathoey is a born male who takes on female roles much like the hijras in Asia. Many Thai citizens consider kathoey much like a third gender. Kathoeys and hijras are the same as what America calls homosexuals. Because homosexuality is found all over the world, you would think humans would consider it normal. Unfortunately, it is found to be looked down upon by society. Perhaps people cannot wrap their head around the fact that yes, there ARE people who are different than themselves. 3. Sexual diversity is often found threatening to people because...
