Minorities

I will discuss the legislation and regulations the United States Government enacted during the 20th Century to eliminate discriminatory practices by organizations. Through unions, employees grouped together to fight and change hazardous working conditions by lobbying management and the United States Government. Change is necessary and often met with steep opposition, and unions dealt with legislators that worked to prevent change or silence the complaints raised by lobbyist. Minority and women workers overcame the opposition and continued to fight for better protections and regulations that ultimately help grow the economy while equipping workers with the necessary skills to advance into management positions.

Legislation is needed in the US to secure equal treatment to US citizens and they keep everyone on track. Legislation is the law and without the law everyone would be thinking of themselves and nothing would be fair. In the workplace, employees were being discriminated against because of their race, color, religion, national origin or sex. Employers were allowed to fire or not employ an individual because they were a minority. The Civil rights act of 1964 was passed and banned discrimination and segregation on the basis of religion, race, national origin and gender in the workplace. This civil rights act includes Title VII which makes it illegal for an employer to discriminate against an employee or job applicant. The EEOC (Equal opportunity

Today we live in America in the 21st Century. We have witnessed dreams come true brought from our new science and technology. We have created engineering wonders and medical miracles that blur the line between life and death. It is truly a fantastic time and place to live and we are. However, in this "land of the free" and "home of the brave" that was founded on the premise set forth from our founding fathers in the birth cry of our nation, Declaration of Independence, that "All men are created equal", our legislation does not reflect that. Our court systems and our businesses are overrun with by legislation that is discriminatory itself, but its intent is to do just the opposite: prevent

Discrimination made its way to planet earth way before it could be documented. Racial discrimination happens all over the world both consciously and unconsciously, destroying lives every day. Racial discrimination can best be described as, when a person is treated less favorably than another person in a similar situation because of their race, color, descent, national or ethnic origin or immigrant status. There are many forms of racial discrimination even if we don’t want to face it. Among the most important is harassment, workforce related, and cultural difference. It’s very important that we are aware of the many forms of racial discrimination so that we can refrain and report this type of unjust behavior.

In a world where there have been so many advancements, is it really necessary to have laws to protect us from discrimination in the workplace? The answer is a definite yes. Unfortunately, in

Discrimination today has expanded since the first human right laws were enacted. Not only are acts which intentionally treat a person as inferior due to their race of beliefs deemed as discriminatory but rules or actions that have effects that are similar are also deemed as discriminatory. An example would be if a company requires all its employees to be available for work on Sunday then it is in violation of the provincial statues if it has a negative effect on one of its workers who is unavailable for work due to Sunday Mass. A rule or qualification that has a negative effect on a group is discriminatory and illegal, unless the employer can show it is a bona fide occupational requirement.

Ethnicity is having distinctive cultural characteristics in distinction to race which people refer to biological characteristics that distinguish one group of from another. The type of roles played are people with unequal treatment and discern considered to be minority groups. The dominant groups has an advantage of power and being privilege. Progression in political power and cohesive by allocated physical and cultural traits. The dominating groups uses its position to discriminate against those with different supposedly inferior traits. How a group develops being a minorities is by one or two ways. Either through expansion of political boundaries or by cultural, same language, or belonging to the same group. Minority groups and dominant

Discrimination has extremely negative impacts and future consequences on the workers. Several laws need to be placed in almost every single workplace to protect all the workers from a variety of discrimination (for eg: Canadian Human Rights Act of 1977 in Canada protects the federal employers as well as the private company employers against discrimination and states that employers cannot refuse to hire workers because of their race, religion, ethnic origin, skin colour, sex, age, marital status, and disability (Government of Canada (Federal government), 2007). Discrimination not only affects the performances of the workers, but also has a significant drop in the overall performances of the companies.

Let’s talk about race. In the United States, a census from 2010 shows that 72.4% of people are White, 12.6% are Black, 4.8% are Asian. There are also Native Americans and Native Alaskans are .9%, .2% are Native Hawaiian or other

The rights of minorities are often belittled by the majority. This is partially because the majority is slightly ignorant to how much the playing field is between themselves and minorities. I believe that protection of the rights minorities is equally, if not more important, than the protection of the rights of the majority. This is because whenever the scale tips more even between the majority and minorities, the majority sees it as the minorities being favored more, rather than it becoming more equal. Without the protection of the rights of the minorities, the scale will tip back in favor of the majority and they will claim it is “equal”. Minorities have less voices than the majority, therefore they need extra voices in the ways of having

According to “Civil Rights Act of 1964", under Title 7, there is the nation’s prime civil rights legislation, which is Civil Right Act of 1964, and the act prohibits employers from any kinds of discrimination toward applicants on the basis of race, sex, religion, color, and national origin. The act basically protects all the citizens from workplace discrimination and prove that the citizens should have same equal rights regardless their race, sex, or religion. Especially, the act is important because it is a fundamental policy that keep citizens safe in the

Everyday an employee lives different experiences at the workplace. Discrimination is one of the biggest issues most employees unfortunately have to deal with. But what is discrimination? Discrimination is the treatment of a person or group of people differently. Most of the times this treatment is worse than the other people are usually treated. There are different types of discrimination, but the one I will be discussing is employment discrimination. Employment discrimination is when an employee is mistreated by an employer based in sexual orientation, age, religion, gender, origin, race, and disability. Discrimination is not a new issue in society, it’s been a concern for a long time. Personally, I think discrimination has increased with technology. Social media plays an important role regarding to discrimination. There are different discrimination cases everyday in everywhere but nowadays, there are certain federal law that protects workers who suffer discrimination. This is why if an employee feels is being discriminated, he or she has the right to file a complaint against the employer. Sometimes employees are scared or tired of experiencing discrimination, and as a result they decrease their performance at work. Employees deserve and have the right to being working without fear of being harassed by coworkers, managers or bosses.
