Ramona Alexander Next Step

Gwendolyn I. Cooper v. Oak Rubber Company 15 F.3d 1375 (6th Cir 1994) case supports our recommendation of litigation because Cooper could not establish prima facie case of discrimination, that Oak reasonably accommodated her religious beliefs. The district court concluded that Oak could not have relieved Cooper all Saturday work responsibility without suffering undue hardship, i.e., the need to hire another employee or a resulting loss of production.

K.B. runs this small department. She received approval to hire another medical ethicist to relieve the workload of the other ethicists who have a five-day workweek plus rotating on-call shifts nights and weekends. K.B. interviewed R.G. for the job. During the interview, she explained to R.G. that the on-call rotation was 5 pm to 8 am, Monday through Thursday, and weekends Friday at 5 pm through Monday at 8 am. K.B. emphasized how crucial it was for each ethicist to commit to their call schedule. K.B. acknowledged that she understood. After a successful interview, K.B. offered R.G. the job, and R.G. accepted. One week before she was to begin working, R.G. sent an email to K.B. requesting religious accommodation:

step number twelve, which states: “Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we

Helen Hunt Jackson's novel Ramona, published in 1884, was intended to arouse the nation's interest in the plight of California Indians using literary, melodramatic adaptations of actual events, such as the shooting of a Cahuilla Indian in the same fashion as Alessandro in the novel. Ms. Jackson was attempting to write "a story which will be a good stroke for the Indians." Very accelerated growth of the state of California was a key factor in the continuing marginalization of the mission Indians during the time in which the book had been written.

Ramona, California, the simply heart-warming town on the outskirts of San Diego County, should be on the list of sites to see when visiting San Diego. With a friendly face on every corner to a historically rural town, Ramona is an under-rated place that should not be overlooked.

Valerie I agree that it is wise to have faith in God even from a business standpoint. It is often hard in today’s society though to put God first in the decision making. I remember back in 2012 when Chick-fil-A was going through a hard time because one of the chief operating officers (Dan Cathy) made a remark about opposing same-sex marriage. He has his right to state an opinion but having friends that are lesbian and gay I had to side with my friends. The remarks seemed to come from a place of hate and he offended so many people by his statement. I do believe that Christians should not hide their beliefs but sometimes in a business setting one person who states an opinion could wreck the business and ultimately leave a Christian owned company

The First Amendment also promotes the freedom to associate. On the off chance that a man relates socially just with individuals from his or her own religion, that is a secured decision. Be that as it may, Employment is not social; it is financial. It is out of line for a business to pick its workers on the premise of their religious inclination. How is this inclination work related? It is definitely not. Employers should respect the rights of employees to worship as they please on their own time and, if possible, should reasonably accommodate their employees to enable them to do so (Moran, 2014). I would need to say that the business should have obliged Paul to go to the meeting for prayer to

Ramona is a young Liberty University graduate that is actively pursuing her first place of employment. She has recently been contacted by an organization that has both positive and negative reviews. As a Christian, Ramona is caught in a hard place to accept a job from this organization and possible jeopardize her Christian credentials. She has requested a council on her future decision. Her recommendation is based on her observations, research and Christian values. The decision is ultimately hers however, she is advised not to take the job and seek employment elsewhere.

She was willing to put her beliefs aside up until this point. Signing the letter was the ultimate violation to her beliefs and she knew something had to be done. She refused to complete the assignment and attempted to explain to her professor that she couldn’t sign a letter for something that went against her faith. Before Brooker could fully argue her case, her professor charged her with a level three grievance for violation of the School of Social Work. A level three grievance is considered the highest level of grievance that a student can be charged with (Brooker, 2006).

Terminations: Unfortunately, there comes a time when all managers face the prospect of having to terminate an employee. Such actions should be taken only as a last resort to end employee confrontations. The Bible provides that a manager’s “… wisdom gives him patience, it is to his glory to overlook an offense” (Proverbs 19:11). To this end, the Christian Broadcast Network (CBN) recommends that a Christian managers should first seek to counsel an employee who has proven unreliable, absent or disobedient to the circumstances of his or her position. Doing so prevents a hasty decision which may cause more harm than good to both the employer and the employee (A Christian Approach). Instead, the manager should understand the reasoning behind an employee’s actions which do not meet the job requirements; for the bible states “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over” (Matthew 18:15). This provides that a manager who listens to an employee will be able to coach the employee into being a better participant in society. Further, listening provides an opportunity to perform God’s will of helping a brother or sister through potentially tough circumstances.

Dr. Grudem’s argument revolves around two simple options for all Christian’s within the realm of business:

Unfortunately for this counselor, her religious beliefs cost her employment with the agency. According to the facts of the case presented in the excerpt from Corey, Corey, and Callanan (2007), “a court case involving a therapist’s refusal to counsel homosexual clients” (pp. 138-141), Bruff should be held liable for any emotional harm she caused to the client. As set forth in the National Association of Social Workers, Code of Ethics of the National Association of Social Workers, (2008), social workers are ethically required to help people in need and address any social setbacks or problems.

Looking at Ramona’s situation from a biblical point of view, I feel that she should not take the position, contrary to your assessment that “she would have a very hard time finding a company that aligns completely with her Christian worldview.” I agree that Ramona may not find a company that aligns completely with her morals and values, but there are numerous companies and CEOs that are not as concerned with their own personal wealth.

Throughout this case, Ramona Alexander, a Liberty University graduate, is challenged with many decisions that will attempt to affect her career and walk with God. She is invited to an interview with Next Step Herbal Health. Next Step Herbal Health manufactures and sells various herbal products, healthy food, and health supplements. Not to mention, it was featured in Forbes magazine as one of the swiftest growing companies in America. After accepting the “in-person” invitation, Ramona begins to research Next Step. While conducting her research, she finds some interesting information that is both tempting and not pleasing. Ramona begins to ask questions about her research when she meets with the company recruiter. The recruiter answers Ramona’s questions with information that she begins to become apprehensive about. After answering her questions, the recruiter presents Ramona with a job contract. Prior to signing the contract and becoming an employee with Next Step, Ramona needs to gather additional information to ensure this is a company, in

They lack empathy and a covenant with their distributors and to Americans as a whole. The future of the company is uncertain and 1 Timothy 6:9 states that “But people who long to be rich fall into temptation are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge into ruin and destruction” (Osteen, 2006-2009). She should consider the other job offers, ask God for direction, pray about her decision, and trust him as she walks into her blessings. The word of God is clear when it states in Deuteronomy 28:12 that “The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow” (Holy Bible, New Living Translation , 2009). Once she makes a well- informed analogy regarding other job opportunities in effort to decide which one is in agreement with her ethic norms (Kubasek, Brennan, & Browne, 2015), she will be a position where she can make a professional name for herself and still climb the up the management ranks to earn “big Bucks”. As Ramona trust in the Lord, he will give her the desires of her heart. As stated by John C. Maxwell, “Many people believe that embracing ethics would limit their options, their opportunities, their very ability to succeed in business” (Maxwell, 2003). This is far from the truth, you
