Review the anti-discrimination legislation outlined in the chapter. Do you see any challenges those legislative actions present in the hospitality industry? In my opining diversity is one of the most challenging legislative actions in the hospitality industry. Communication can be very difficult when you are trying to communicate with a diverse group. One bad misinterpretation, and things can go very wrong. Failure to understand the culture of your employees can cause poor performance and tension, which means higher rates of turnover. It can literately be chaos. How can you guard against your own subjectivity in an interview? The best ways to guard your self to be prepare, and hire for job not the person.

The benefits of diversity in the hospitality business are numerous, however. Diversity can bring new views and perspectives to the table to other workers that they may not have been exposed to it before. It may not occur to a large group of, for example, middle-class white people that there are better solutions or plans for their workplace because they all might have relatively the same ideals and work ethics. However, having diverse groups of people could bring those fresh ideas and problem solving to these workers that may otherwise not occur to them. Especially different ethnicities might, “...offer insightful alternatives Americans might not have considered,” (Ethnoconnect, DATE). Having
Another legal case that was reviewed, and is a directly correlated to EEOC and Civil Rights discrimination issues is the Alaimo v. Thompsonville Fire District #2 and Collen Ann Reidy. In this case we again see Civil Rights Act violations as well as Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 under 29 USC § 791 and Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 violations (Phelan, 2015). Additionally, we see State of Connecticut Workers Compensation Retaliation Violations related to Conn. Gen. § 31-290a and Conn. Gen. § 31-76b. In this case we again see retaliation against Alaimo for he didn’t agree with a politicians plans not to build a new fire station.

you guys out. Romi also said that Mariah took off her jacket that she had on and the group of kids started calling her a stripper and kept telling her to strip. Romi said his group that he was with everyone kept telling the four black males to knock it off and that they were being inappropriate. He said one of the males knocked Christian to the ground and started punching him in what he believed to be the right side of Christian's face and temple area.

First, there is clear evidence that not all jurors are impartial, which makes it reasonable for an innocent person to fear the outcome of their trial. It’s a known fact that bias is inevitable, and it’s extremely difficult to set a bias aside when determining a verdict. Therefore, depending on someone's race, religion, sexual orientation, or gender, they could be fearful of the justice system. The existence of bias in the judicial system has been an ongoing issue for an extremely long time, and it’s still a problem today. After the horrific shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed African-American teen in Ferguson, Missouri, extensive research was carried out to prove the racial bias in the town. According to an article published by the New York Times, in the two years prior to the shooting, ninety-three percent of all arrests in the town were of people of color (Nytimes.com).
Three white employees (Lynette, Barret, W.T. Melton, and Treva Nickens) file suit against Whirlpool Corp. The plaintiffs (Lynette, Barret, W.T. Melton, and Treva Nickens) (Lynette, Barret, W.T. Melton, and Treva Nickens) alleged race-discriminated in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and §1981 and retaliation in violation of Title VII, based on befriending with and advocacy on behalf of their African-American co-workers. The plaintiffs (Lynette, Barret, W.T. Melton, and Treva Nickens) also claimed they were subject to hostile work environment based on their association with the black employees.
Literature Review: In this quantitative study, Watson, Langrehr, Zelaya and Flores (2016) aimed to investigate the relationship between multiple discriminatory experiences and insidious trauma among a sample of Women of Color (WOC). The topic is significant for the readership of the journal since it has expanded the definition of trauma and brought up a critical perspective of DSM-5 PTSD diagnosis. Researchers cogently provided literature to demonstrate the link between insidious trauma and oppressive experiences such as racism and sexism. They also included preliminary research purporting that self-esteem can be a mediator in the oppression and insidious trauma relationship. They also hypnotized and offered a research review on ethnic identity strength as a moderator in the negative relationship between multiple forms of discrimination and self-esteem, in turn, lessening to trauma symptoms. Based on these hypotheses, they clearly indicated their research questions. The literature review was composed of current research and comprehensive enough to capture the depthless of the research questions.
McDonnell Douglas third step requires the offended party to present proof to make a honest to goodness issue of material certainty that (1) the respondent's expressed reasons had no premise truth be told, (2) the expressed reasons were not the real reasons, or (3) the expressed reasons were inadequate to clarify the respondent's activities (Melvin, 2015). However, Aquino attempted to meet his weight by endeavoring to ruin Honda's expressed reason through insinuation and level dissent. Aquino tried to prove his innocence but there were no facts that showed he was not the one who had to vandalize Honda because he was fired he would be the one that would have a reason to do this knowing he had access to the tools used in vandalizing Honda. Nevertheless, Aquino had to have some form of evidence proving Honda intented to cover up a discriminatory motive or action.
The Title VII Prohibited discrimination in employment based on religion in both its practice and beliefs, you have done the right thing to allow the LGBT group to celebrate the Gay Pride as they request. The problem is, the company did not make sure to let them know, they have to be considered to the other employees by not post anything directly on the notice board. The company is not against anyone's beliefs or religions, but not all employees have also to the beliefs and religion. This is why the Christian employee got offended to see things post direct to the notice board.

What is discrimination? Discrimination is treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit (dictionary.com,2010). In America, there has been many cases of discrimination from both the past and present. Statistics shows that 49% of African American and 11% of Hispanic feel a great deal of discrimination.(Episcopal News Service,2013) Discrimination and racism has some great similarities when it comes to the way people were treated and still being treated in today’s time. So, racism will be mentioned frequently. Therefore, I will discuss the difference between
Diversity matters to every one of us. The hospitality industry makes us unique in that we are able to appeal to each and every person in one way or another. In the lodging segment of the hospitality industry we come in contact with a wide variety of people every single day. Diversity is defined as "recognizing, appreciating, valuing, and utilizing the unique talents and contributions of all individuals” (Webster, 1999) regardless of age, career experience, color, communication style, culture, disability, educational level or background, employee status, ethnicity, family status, function, gender, language, management style, marital status, national origin, organizational level, parental status, physical appearance, race, regional
