Relationship Between Discrimination And Discrimination In Australia

According to the Oxford Dictionary, the definition of ethics is ‘Moral principles that govern a person’s behaviour or the conducting of an activity ’. Henceforth this means that workplace ethics are the morals that all employees must/should act upon. The scenario chosen to study is scenario 7. In this scenario a worker at a high end clothing line has put on a little weight and has been threatened to be fired unless the weight is lost. After this experience the employee feels as if they are being bullied and treated unfairly.

As the nation’s gender inequality continues to diminish, things like sports stereotypes, and labour force conflict cannot be understood without understanding the term of identity. Identity work is explained by Schwalbe and Mason-Schrock in 1996 as “anything people do, individually or collectively, to give meaning to themselves or others” (as cited in Ezzell, 2009, p. 1). I propose to examine inequality based on gender identity and in depth the process of stereotype issues, - how people construct stereotypes in gender inequality in the context of sport- among women Rugby. The academic literatures are based on gender identity/ inequality, where it provides many examples of individuals deflecting the norms “by ... creat[ing] a unique identity as heterosexy-fit— simultaneously tough, heterosexual, and conventionally attractive” (Ezzell, 2009, p. 14). With the intention of deflecting/ creating an exception to these norms, it only creates greater issues as not only does society view them in a certain way, but also the player themselves. The overarching goal of the proposal is to address the social issue and understand why society to this date gives harsh views towards women’s rugby with a common stereotypical view. As an illustration the views were described by Ezzell (2009) who conducted a personal communication with some female rugby players who stated that other views them as: “scary, butch lesbians,” “she-males,” “he-shes,” “lesbian man-beasts,” and “butch,

The workplace discrimination against women is one aspect that Australian legal systems have achieved the responsiveness for society and individuals. The legal system provides women with a formal and enforceable means of redress to correct discrimination. The legal systems have implemented many laws to diminish women workplace discrimination. There are three main laws that the legal system have achieved justice for society and individuals, the laws are Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (CWTH), Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 (NSW) Equal Opportunity laws and The Affirmative action plan Act 1989 (CWLTH). Assessing Positives and negatives to the responsiveness of the legal system that Australian parliament have made or passed.

We are urged to erase discrimination from our hearts, but it's time to erase it from our laws too.

For a further discussion of racism as it pertains to the sports as an industry, it is important to determine and group these vital components individually so that an informed perspective concerning the landscape and future of sports as an industry can be obtained. While there are still issues of race in sports today, there are different ways than those seen in prior eras. Societies are observing the racism and discernment that are going on in the sports. These notorious acts

According to Heather Skyes in her article “Transsexual and Transgender Policies in Sport”, the vast variety of genders that make up our society today including transsexuals and transgender are still not accepted into the world of sports due to anxieties from large sporting organizations. In our culture, there is a ‘binary structure’ which separates male from female. When a person is transsexual or transgender, the binary structure becomes challenged. There are so many exceptions to the binary structure, that it becomes nearly impossible to universalize “gender inclusive policies”. These individuals increase the ‘anxieties’ that Skyes suggests sporting organizations have, because transsexual and transgender people do not fit the norm.

Although many Australian’s exhibit low levels of Islamophobia, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that there is growing discrimination towards Muslims in Australia, as the rate of terror attacks increases. As a result of lack of knowledge and close-mindedness, Muslims are wrongfully feared and blamed for the acts of Islamic Extremists. As explained, many religions do not support discrimination of any form; however, many people can disregard their religious teachings as they respond to the events that are occurring in the world. This is acceptable in a sense for the world to stand as one against terrorists; although, it is irrational to blame all Muslims for the actions of a selection of people. In today’s world the population may find it difficult to make distinction between regular Muslims and extremists, as well as all others in the world. Muslims do not necessarily have to have a particular racial background, as a Caucasian Australian with an Australia background can select to be a Muslim religion and can revert to a member of ISIS if intended. In retrospect, this aspect of the discrimination can be seen as there

The Anti-Discrimination Board of NSW defines discrimination as unfair treatment towards someone due to not conforming with a specific group. Numerous federal laws (legalisation) have been introduced. An example is the Australian Human Rights Commission Act 1986 which covers discrimination faced in employment/occupation. Sex, race, marital, Homosexual, disability and transgender are types of discrimination categories which are considered to be against the law in NSW. The type of discrimination law that I have chosen is race which is violated and portrayed in the movie ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’. Racial discrimination refers to being unfairly treated due to your race, colour, ethnic background, nationality etc.

The topic that will be focused on in this paper is “Do professional athletes, in today’s society, deal with racial inequalities and oppression?”. Specifically, three peer articles were reviewed while assessing this question and helped to determine the detrimental affects that these racial discriminations can have on athletes and, individuals in general. Articles reviewed include examples of direct discrimination of athletes through physical altercations as well as society’s internal beliefs. These internal beliefs steam from an interpretation of the American flag, as well as the flag’s original roots and values. Through these qualities, people are turning out to be progressively more unknowingly blinded by their activities, not understanding the damaging impact it has on others. This Literature Review specifically focuses on athletes but should be noted that this issue can be generalized to the entire population, as well as be seen in other forms of discrimination.

Discriminatory and abusive behaviour towards another based on their race is of national and international concern. Australia has enacted anti-discrimination legislation in all jurisdictions, as well as the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth) [RDA]. They have also ratified international treaties concerning this issue. However, Australia has been criticized internationally for an ‘absence of any entrenched guarantee against racial discrimination’.

I had an experience in my workplace contravened Australia’s anti-discrimination legislation. My workplace was looking for a new kitchen staff and they were looking at the resumes they received. I saw managers sorting out the resume in the order and I noticed that they were tying to hire men only. All resumes from men were on the top and rest of them was on the bottom. After they separated the resume into men and women and then they started to look at the experiences and abilities.

The Australian Government recognises the importance and achievements of Aus-tralian sportswomen and promoting them as role models to women and girls in par-ticular. Their promotion is an important factor to motivate women and girls to follow a career in sport or start playing sports. The Australian Sports Commission delivers media training for Australian Institute of Sport’s athletes to guarantee that Australia’s elite athletes make the most of media coverage. Furthermore, to contribute in the broadcast of the 2012 Paralympic Games, the Australian Government gave $1 mil-lion to the Australian Paralympic Committee (Australian Sports Commission, 2014). Towards a Level Playing Field: Sport and Gender in Australian Media, the Australian Government commissioned research in 2008/09, confirmed that female and male sport receive unequal amounts of coverage on television, regardless of the continu-ing success and participation levels of women in sport (Wensing & Bruce, 2003). This research evaluated the amount of media coverage and the representation of women and sport, it used empirical data of the media coverage of female athletes to benchmark future research in this area. Women’s sports coverage

Australia has a history imbued with controversial views on matters of cultural diversity, with a multicultural reputation; consisting of individuals from over ‘100 ethnic backgrounds’ (Smolicz 1997, pg.171). These controversial disputes have been displayed by the behaviours of the majority Anglo-Christian culture representing Australia. A significant amount of hostility has been predominantly towards Muslims, and their notorious reputation promoted by Western nations. Assimilation is described as the ‘process by which a group or an individual adjusts their behaviour to suit’ the social cohesion and culture of the majority larger group (Foroutan, 2008, p.222). Thus, the lack of acceptance and media provocation of Muslims has made it increasingly

Australian sports law is grounded in the principles of "Natural Justice" to ensure procedural fairness. Nevertheless, the sports tribunals' ability to hold hearings and make determinations without allowing athletes the benefit of legal counsel is troublesome. Clearly, the process often involves valuable rights which should be asserted and preserved by knowledgeable, zealous legal counsel at the first opportunity. The single difference between the Waverley and Nagle cases shows how issues that are vitally important to an individual can turn on a single fact; consequently, while Waverley and Nagle did not involve sports tribunals, they do show the importance of paying careful attention to facts, which also applies to sports tribunals. Finally, the inclusion of women in sports, particularly Golf, is a natural outgrowth of anti-discrimination laws and progressive Australian attitudes create fertile ground for further attempts by women to compete with men.

In order to fight discrimination in our society, I tried to touch as many subjects as I could with the time and resources I had. I started off by going to volunteer at the community storehouse which for this event, were helping underprivileged families obtain toys for their children when the parents couldn’t afford any toys themselves. This benefited people who are always being bad mouthed because they don’t make as much as most. Next, I wrote a letter to our governor, Greg Abbott; I explained to him that he needs to keep an open mind when representing Texas since not all twenty seven million of us agree with everything he is doing. Later, I created a PowerPoint presentation to inform people about diabetes. An abundance of people insult diabetics everywhere when they make ignorant comments and a little education will help them learn from what they are saying. On the last Monday of break, I gave a speech to my boy scout troop to inform them of what they’re really saying when they mock women and how insulting it is to the female gender. My final act was to make a poster and hang it up in the school. This poster informed people that when
