Give an example for each. 2.Francisco, a Hispanic man, is employed by the Inter-Pacific Railroad as a supervisory conductor on its commuter trains. Except for one white woman, all other supervisory conductors are black men. The other supervisor conductors refer to Francisco as “Taco” and used other racial slurs when referring to him.

Franklin’s co-workers Jin Pan and Lou Jiang, also U.S. citizens of Chinese ancestry, are late for work almost every day, but no action is taken against them even though the owners are aware of Jin and Lou’s tardiness. There is a clearly stated workplace policy that an employee reporting to work late more than once in a 60-day period will be dismissed. Franklin reports to work late twice, and he is dismissed. Explain whether Franklin has a basis for a national origin discrimination claim. 4.Kevin, the owner and manager of a large warehouse, speaks only English. He requires that all his employees speak English to ensure that communication related to work is clear and effective.

Explain. 5.Discuss and explain the six factors that will be considered by the courts and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in determining whether an employer has successfully borne the burden of reasonably accommodating an employee’s religious conflict. 6.MaryJo, a very religious woman, takes every opportunity to propagate her religion at work to the extent that it adversely affects her productivity as well as that of those around her. Her employer admonishes her to stop proselytizing at work. She offers instead to simply limit her proselytizing to certain hours of the day. Her employer declines the offer and reminds her that she is being paid to work, not to preach. When MaryJo refuses to accede to her employer’s wishes, she is fired. She files a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) alleging that her employer failed to accommodate her religious beliefs. Evaluate the merits of her claim. 7.Chad was 54 years old when he was hired as a disc jockey by William. Two years later, as William’s business was failing, Chad was laid off by William. Chad felt that he was laid off because of his age, so he brought a claim of age discrimination against William.

I added the feedback in the Word document. For this assignment, you need to research the focal point further by writing a human rights framework. For this paper I choose to focus on the improvement of BP’s ecological footprint. Due to the oil spill of 2010, BP has had a very negative public opinion. In this paper you need to include what human rights (for example; the right to a clean and healthy environment) are at stake and where are they regulated? Try to find treaties/documents that are legally binding. How does the responsibility of BP come into play? Is it a legal aspect, or a social one, in terms of business? Use at least 3 different types of sources to back-up your research.

The victorious king accepts his queen’s invitation to step on the red/purple tapestries when he knows this is an honor reserved only for the Greek Gods. Why does Agamemnon submit to walking on the carpets when he knows that his pride or hubris will upset the Gods? – Cassandra warns everyone about the fact that the king is about to die and that she will also be murdered as soon as she will enter the house of King Agamemnon. Why nobody believes her warnings?

Unfortunately, employment discrimination can still be found in all industries across the country. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 defined protected classes of people aiming to reduce discrimination by holding employer’s responsible. Under Title VII of the Act, an individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin is considered a protected class. Age and pregnancy have also been federally recognized protected classes by subsequent legislation.   Discuss if you believe these protected classes go far enough to prevent discrimination in the workplace. Would you add any additional classes of people, if so who and why? Lastly, have you ever experienced any form of discrimination in your employment? If so, how did you resolve the situation?
