Before the readings, I understood remuneration in terms of employment. I thought of it as when you are rewarded for your service via salary/wage, benefits (company car, medical and pension plans), or bonuses. Thus, I thought based on skills and experience the employee gets paid and I believe it is the human resources department that delineates the packages to the employees. I can see how remuneration is tied to oppression if we consider pay wages with respect to race, “the wealth of white households is 13 times the median wealth of black households. (…) Job applicants with white-sounding names are 50% more likely to get called back for an interview than similarly qualified applicants with black-sounding names. I think there should be an active

To me this logo is an extremely crude caricature. Sports teams are franchises that pride themselves in being a brand that can successfully be marketed. Thus, I want to review a bit about this specific franchise. Earlier this year, when baseball season was beginning in April, the Cleveland Indians stated that the ‘Chief Wahoo’ logo would become their secondary logo. This meant that the block letter ‘C’ would take the primary role of logo. This change would mean that the offensive logo would be less emphasized. Fans of this organization show up to games in redface and perpetuate stereotypes of Native Americans because that is the image their logo portrayed. The owner Paul Dolan said, “we do have empathy for those who take issue with it,’ (…) ‘We have minimized the use of it and we’ll continue to do what we think is appropriate.’” Dolan still did make the statement that the logo is a “part of our history and legacy.”2 Knowing this and that the “home cap with the Wahoo logo was the top seller last year, Cleveland.com reports” 2 fast forward to baseball post season this year October. The Cleveland Indians wore the ‘Chief Wahoo’ caps from what I remember at least 5 times even after this announcement in April. I would have expected that a post-season run would …show more content…
This article might also demonstrate the concept of remuneration in a different way than I was expecting from reading the topic. Instead of it being about wages in job setting it is talking about ‘preferential admission status.’ Kathryn Vasel, reports that “Now, the school said it will give the descendants of those slaves "the same consideration we give members of the Georgetown community" when they apply. That means that the applicants will "receive an extra look" and that their relationship to the university will be considered.” Personally, I do not know if this action is something I would support. I think ownership of the event is important and that they planned to have a “Mass of Reconciliation where it will apologize for its history.” I can agree with the response where, “the school will create a memorial to honor the 272 enslaved men, women and children, create the Institute of Slavery and its Legacy, and also rename two buildings that had been named after the presidents who facilitated the 1838 sale.” I think the memorials would be a better solution because it “recognizes the schools link to the slave trade,” because when receiving ‘rewards’ it should be because of merit.
