Perhaps the omission of Decarie is from his stand on the issue of gays and traditional marriages. Decarie had said that being gay is a choice, a statement that prompted outrage and was strongly condemned by many MPs from the Conservative Party as well as leadership candidates such as Erin O’Toole, Peter MacKay and Marilyn Gladu. Decarie had also taken a strong position in support of traditional marriages, a matter that may be different from the kind of leader wanted by the Conservative Party and what the Party itself stands for. However, the Party, through an anonymous spokesman clarified that Decarie’s name was not in the list because of the “general nature of his application,” and not because of his remarks as other…

Interviewing prisoners Question 1 Interviewing prisoners at times can be viewed as a research process. The essence of interviewing convicts can be to ascertain some facts which have been kept surreptitious. In such an instance, confidentially matters. In research, most human subjects should be collected, and the consent agreement form be signed. For that matter, the answers provided by the prisoners shall remain anonymous without revealing the source. Confidentiality maintenance is an essential measure in ensuring that that private information is safeguarded at all the cost (Bansal et al. 15). Thus, in a case where prisoners commence narrating how a guard sells drugs to the convict would be treated with utmost care.

After the interview, recommendations should be made to the administration to carry out further investigation to verify the claims which have been…
Challenges of Women in the Workforce Introduction Female workers in the workforce who earns salaries or wages are part of the contemporary phenomenon in various organizations. However, women in the workforce have been challenged by crucial factors such as inequality that has retarded the growth of paid employment for women. In the long run, this has created an economic over-dependence upon men by women due to the poor socio-economic status of females. This current phenomenon of inequality and discrimination was absent in the 19th and 20th centuries as the occupations in that era were nor professionalized. Female members lack access to higher education in significant cases, especially those who originate from underdeveloped nations such as Somalia and Togo. Due to this notion, women are paid less than men for doing the same work, thus limiting them to low paid and inferior status occupations. However, empowerment techniques can significantly aid in curbing the challenges that they face in the workforce. Some of these empowerment techniques include promoting a fair parental leave policy, prevention of sexual harassment, equal pay for the same…
