Before 1975 there were innumerable instances of vilification, almost applauded. Singh is convinced that freedom of speech must be regulated, publicizing that “people have a right to have freedom from racial vilification” and that anything which dissimilar to this fundamental entitlement is an “unacceptable and wrong” substitute (Blacktown Sun, 2015). Ironically, the fact that Brandis and his supporters believes the law diminishes freedom of expression and speech, where people cannot “say what they like”, is dismissed by the provisions enlisted under Section18D of the Racial Discrimination Act. As newly appointed Race Discrimination Commissioner Tim Soutphommasane argues, “often it is forgotten that the fundamental value of free speech is explicitly protected by

The fight against racial discrimination in the America has continued, it may be said that the struggle has become particularly difficult in the 21st century. The laws and policies claim that only few forms of discriminations remain, in reality, racial discrimination is still existent in the US, it has continued to hinder the enjoyment of fundamental human rights by many individuals who belong to the minor racial and ethnic groups (Alexander, 2013). According to studies, racism and racial discrimination have deeply and lastingly influenced

Freedom of speech: The freedom to speak freely and without censorship and limitation. A great example of this would be a talk radio, where people call in to voice opinion on real time political controversy.

Freedom of Speech. The First Amendment. It’s likely the most well-known part of the United States Constitution, and was considered by the founders of our country to be one of the most important pieces of a free society. While in years prior it has generally been agreed upon that free speech - especially political speech - is vital to democracy, today there are some people singing a different tune. There are those who believe that certain offensive speech (or in some cases any and all offensive speech) should be prohibited by law. This idea of restricting offensive verbal content is known generally as ‘political correctness’ and will be referred to as such here. The First Amendment says that “Congress shall make no

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’.

Whilst all statutes pertaining to racial vilification; most infamously the white Australia policy, have been repealed, there is always an undertone of racial discrimination in most Australians, whether we are conscious of this or not.

According to Ruane (2014), the right to freedom of speech and other types of expression are not absolute rights, as they can truly conflict with the privileges of others and the requirement for open request. Our laws strike a harmony between safeguarding these opportunities and shielding individuals from out of line treatment and discrimination.

Every individual in society has the right to the freedom of speech and this is guaranteed by the Declaration of Human Rights.

In a truly free society, it is essential that citizens have the right to freedom of speech, to voice their opinion, to write it down, to scream it to the world, and to not be punished for it. In a truly free society, citizens hold the right to disagree with each other and their government, yet their government must uphold their right to do so. As Evelyn Beatrice Hall said when illustrating the ideas of Enlightenment philosopher, Voltaire, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

Discrimination is the weapon of those entrenched in irrational prejudices used to subject and defame their victims. This practice permeates our legal policies – particularly those involving foreigners entering this country. It clouds the judgment of bankers and realtors involved in minorities purchasing homes and apartments. It obstructs fair hiring practices among employers of America’s businesses. It even poison’s our speech and that of our young children – planting the seeds of division which condemn yet another generation to needless confusion and heartless oppression.

Discrimination, acting unfavorably toward someone based on the group to which that person belongs rather than on the person’s own merits, exists in the United States till this day. It has led to stereotyping and severe cases of racial profiling mostly targeted towards minority groups. Discriminating against another person is not just unfair “it is against the law. The law forbids discrimination when it comes to any aspect of employment. It is unlawful to harass an individual because of that person's race/color; harassments such as, racial slurs, offensive remarks about a person's race/color, or the display of racially-offensive symbols. This paper will be focusing mainly on race/color discrimination, treating someone unfavorably as a result being from a certain race, let’s take African Americans as an example.

An effective human resources (HR) strategy is the complete design, or strategic plan, that directs the engagement of specific HR functional areas. Subsequently, HR strategies will guide decisions about company personnel to make sure they are best suited for the company. For this to be successful, all of the functional areas of HR strategies must be directly compatible with the entire business strategy of the company (Wright, Snell, & Jacobsen, 2003). One such company that has been very successful in developing an HR strategy to support the overall business strategy, is the United Services Automobile Association, or more commonly known as USAA.

HR strategies, planning and objectives are intertwined. Discuss how this fact relates to recruitment, and the steps required to ensure a solid recruitment process is put in place.

Organization strategies are the building blocks to be successful to a successful organization big or small. If there are no future goals how will and organization expand. When an organization is at its first start the leadership must look at where it is and where they want it to go over the years. There must be a continuous evaluation on processes and procedures to make sure that the direction that are set forth by those processes and procedures are going to put the organization in that forward motion. The organization is only going to be as good as the employees that work within so again the organization must insure that an organizational issue such as training is mandated and executed for both the future of the organization and employee.
