The question presented is whether the city of Marsh, acting under the authority granted to it by the due process clause in the 14th Amendment, overstepped its constitutional boundaries in enacting the ordinance. Mary G, an out-of-state citizen living three miles south of Marsh, requested and was denied a home inspection by the Marsh Health Department. She continued selling her baked…

They are more a result of the perseverance, talent, ambition, and determination of these executives than anything else. Many minorities have been able to gain entrance into the workplace, and often climb into lower and middle-level management positions. However, in many cases, the path to success dead-ends.…

    With this scenario Interstate Distribution Corporation will be able to recover the loss amount through their insurance policy with Good Hands Insurance. Now Eagle Sales Company will lose their investment in the matter upon selling the property, so the owner of the building would be the one who is be able to insure the building. This would be called insurable interest and most likely, Good Hands Insurance would have noticed the discrepancy and cancelled the original policy.

    How employers in this study viewed black people in relation to white people, especially for something as everyday as a job interview, showed enormous disparity. In her audit study, Pager desired to clarify the effects of a criminal record on subsequent job opportunities, doubting that some people with certain behaviors were just naturally destined to also be incarcerated; while not the focus of the study, Pager found that while persons without a criminal record got more callbacks than candidates without, white criminals actually got more callbacks than black non criminals, which seems illogical unless considering the history of racism that stemmed from the advent of slavery and the Jim Crow Era into the present day of stereotyping African-Americans leading people to believe that black people are inherently criminals and thieves and thugs, more dangerous than even a white person with clear evidence of a criminal record (Pager). Despite a stereotype’s inaccuracy, and possibly its outdatedness, it remains salient and it creates a new reality - one that favors white people, inarguably the hegemonic population in the United States. And if a hegemonic social group has power in important fields, it can undoubtedly create systems of perpetuation wherein…

When we discussed how the lack of leadership positions occupied by minorities would affect the future prospects for African American managers, there was a little hesitation to say that the lack of strong mentors had an overwhelming negative impact on the future development of African American leaders. As a child not having a father around had an impact on him and he had to look for mentors outside the home. Similarly, African Americans have few top level leaders to look at for guidance and inspiration. He was quick to point out that although some will use this as an excuse, he overcame similar circumstances by not having a father, however, he still believes that more black leaders are necessary for the overall inclusion of African Americans in the…
