Discrimination against women Identification of Discrimination Discrimination is a situation where certain categories of people are exposed to unjust and prejudicial treatment on the grounds of sex, age or race (Krieger, 2014). In most cases, people are discriminated based on the category in which one belongs rather than basing it on an individual attribute. Sometimes discrimination may entail differential treatment of a given group of people or an individual based on their perceived membership, especially in a particular social category. Discrimination is based on societal norms, rules, and roles, which instructs and encourage men to feel superior to women. This is the reason why men devalue women even in developed economies such as the US where there are laws, which discourage such behaviors (Krieger, 2014). Thus, discrimination against women prevents them from having certain rights and opportunities like the ones enjoyed by other members of the group. This in turn ends up causing the exclusion of a given entity based on potentially illogical as well as irrational decisions. In the contemporary world, many companies are fond of using discriminatory policies,…

Two-Point Discrimination                                                                  Abstract                                  Motivation Sematosensation, also known as the sense of touch involves different sets of sensory and incorporates all sensation collected from the skin. The skin contains several types of receptors that differ from size and shape and are responsible for responding to a stimulus (Godde et al.,2016). The problem is essential because it provides information about what happens when the skin comes to contact with the surrounding environment. Methods The method used to obtain the results involved a lad experiment where the Subject is subjected to various sets of conditions on different body regions. The species used as human beings, students of age between 14-18 years. No sex difference was assessed during the experiment. Each area was randomly alternate between 1 point and 2 points of contact with a total of 5 trials for each body part, asking the Subject if they feel 1 or 2 points during each trial. If they respond to 4/5 trials correctly, then the test distance is continuously reduced until they are unable to respond correctly. When the Subject cannot differentiate between…

Discrimination of HIV infected persons Discrimination of HIV infected persons exists all around the world. It manifests differently across the most basic strata of society like the family to the most complex strata like a country. Stigma is cultivated along different formations and this might include, misogyny or homophobia, and discrimination based on physical appearances like color toning and physique, discrimination is also meted on those who indulge in socially intolerable activities like drug abuse and commercial sex working. This segregation of infected persons makes it difficult for them to cope up with their illness and handle their infections at personal levels.

Individuals also get lackadaisical especially when testing for the virus is involved, and for those who are infected find it hard to continue or even start their medication Reasons for the existence of stigma related to AIDS Persons…

 discrimination in Canada and US Discrimination can be termed as treating people differently because of one or more of their physical features. It is always the wrong way of handling the other people that look a certain way or a certain way. One of the ways that one might be discriminated is by their physical appearance or someone’s physique. One can be discriminated against because of their sex, race, or even where one resides. Discrimination can deter someone because someone qualified is denied an opportunity for the reason that can be overlooked. Canada has not left aside when it comes to this. There are various ways in which discrimination takes place in Canada. Racial discrimination is prevalent, yet also in this time of the century, some people are still discriminated against for their sex. Sex discrimination is ordinarily visible in workplaces that have defined that a particular job could well suit a man or a woman than the other way around. In tasks that are more physical in some cases, the man is preferred and in service work, or when…

The Ethics of Job Discrimination Compare and contrast the main arguments used to support affirmative action programs. Do you agree or disagree with these arguments? If you disagree with an argument, state clearly which part of the argument you think is wrong, and explain why it is wrong. Composed of several characteristics from two different British concepts of both positive discrimination and action, affirmative action refers to a set of regulations that aim to support those individuals from disadvantaged groups and have experienced or still experiencing discrimination in different sectors such as employment, income, education, housing and many more (Jain et al. 2015). Some of the objectives that the support of affirmative action have aimed to achieve include: reducing and curbing the indifference in employment and income, fostering multiculturalism, addressing the previous harms, and hindrance again and enhancing education access. One of the major arguments used to support affirmative action is that it allows for a fair evaluation of members by covering the available social differences. Also, another argument supposes that it ensures that cultural diversity is achieved and maintained…

Workplace Freedom of Speech Although employees don’t have a right to freedom of speech at the workplace constitutionally, employers need to know that there are federal and state laws in place that were enacted to protect employees when faced with certain issues at the workplace. For instance, according to the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), employees have the freedom to concerted activity (Croucher et al, 2018). The provision protects employers in actions they engage in collectively with a mutual aim of making better or improving a situation. If an employee made remarks about his employer and his colleagues backed up the comments, such an employee is protected under concerted activity against any action that the employer could take against him. According to Talk of the Nation podcast, three issues were under scrutiny. One case was about Keith Olbermann, an employee who was suspended from work for donating money to political rallies. At the New York Times, there are unions that set rules on when an employee can and cannot be punished. Employees are not allowed to make donations to political…

How racial discrimination leads to suicidal thoughts Research Proposal Abstract While the world is drawing near to the globe, many countries have opened their borders to expatriates. This initiative highlights the improvement of working conditions and lifestyles among citizens in various countries (usually third-world countries). The world is constantly using racial discrimination against different people, according to history and earlier literature. This has also contributed to suicides by different people and has also brought financial instability, depression and anxiety on their families. This work will use random sampling methods to achieve reliable results and to check research questions. Selection of people without partiality is a random sampling procedure. This tendency can also help to find a balanced viewpoint by choosing random participants. The survey will include eight closely-ended Likert-scale-based questions. Introduction Diversity is one of the most celebrated actions in the world due to its massive outreach and spread across different countries. This is also evident in countries where diversity and inter-cultural mix are highly appreciated. This is mainly because this factor helps the country to sustain a broader image…

Religious Discrimination in Workplaces Ethical issues are increasing in the workplace. The problem has become as contentious and litigious one for many businesses to deal with them. These issues arise from cases of religious discrimination in job finding. Also, in workplaces, people relate differently based on their religious beliefs and practices. According to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the number of religious discrimination has increased by more than 50% in the past 15 years (“The Civil Rights Act,” 1965). It is on these grounds that Berkley sought to focus on educating the organization leaders and supervisors as well as employees on religious discrimination issues through the diversity training manual. Diversity Manual Summary The civil rights act of 1964 became the nation’s premier of the civil rights legislation. In this Act, discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin was outlawed. Though the Act gave propagated for equality in access to public places and employment as well as enforcing desegregation of schools and the right to vote, it failed in ending discrimination. Some of the supreme court rulings…

Recommendations on Addressing Gene Discrimination Gene discrimination occurs if a person is treated unjustly in society or at work based on one’s vulnerability to cancer. With the identification of cancer vulnerability, any person who goes through cancer genetic screening can potentially face discrimination. Indeed, the results of testing for mutations of BRCA1and BRCA2 have a high risk of being passed on between insurers since specialists change over a specified period. Indemnity firms could use the data to screen for people who are vulnerable to disease to make them pay higher rates for insurance premiums. Companies can also use the findings of these genetic assessments to hire or fire someone. Genetic discrimination is a vital issue for the future of precision medicine. There are concerns that vulnerable people could be excluded from socioeconomical programs, activities, and services. On that note, everybody should be safeguarded from potential genetic discrimination since anybody can go through genetic screening, and the number of people getting tests is steadily increasing. An essential feature of these genetic assessments determining the vulnerability to cancer is that the tests…
