In addition to addressing discrimination based on color, they also addressed other forms of workplace discrimination that had historically been a problem. Title VII of the act applies to employers who employee 15 or more employees and prohibits discrimination in the workplace based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Further, Congress also enshrined a prohibition on discrimination based on an employee’s or potential employee’s association with another person that fit into any of those categories. As with anything else,…

Sometimes these bias become an integral part of our society. This is evident when a leader of a first world nation could make a travel ban, banning immigration from a specific nation because of religion or ethnic background. As a society we retain these bias because of historical circumstances or ignorance.…

    The contentious issue of racial profiling is a distorting and invasive act that harshly affects the principles of a democratic nation such as Canada and its Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Racial profiling is manifested within Canadian policing due to prejudiced misunderstandings instilled in the minds of individuals, ultimately reinforced by negative and bias media attention. Subsequently, targets of racial profiling have their freedoms stripped from them because of generalizations constructed by the media, which are enforced by many citizens and police officers. Due to a ban on the collection and release of crime-race data, qualitative data has played a fundamental role in exposing the racial biases of police towards the treatment of minority…

    Thus, the news of the nursing shortage is often heard and can be seen in the news media. As a nurse back home and a nursing student in Canada, I have been reading, hearing, and experiencing the shortage of nurses in the health care setting. From the past to present, the nursing shortage is discussed as the issue of healthcare globally and nationally. Various factors are associated with the shortage of nurses in the country. I will argue that the international/local migration of nurses, increased number of the population and health care demands, as well as the lack of adequate Registered Nurse (RN) positions, are factors that have contributed to the nursing shortage.…

    As many may know, there is an increase in the gap between the rich and the poor. Discrimination and inequality can include education, gender, racism and so forth. As a result, this increase in gap creates barriers for the poor since it makes it hard for those who are poor to access the same opportunities as the upper class. From this week’s lecture and readings, it got me to really think about the possible consequences for our society if we do not address the important issues including the increasing gap between the rich and poor. It does not make sense how one of the wealthiest countries like Canada has many citizens living in poverty and experiencing discrimination.…

    Over the past couple of years, Canada has witnessed the issue of racial profiling gain increasingly amount of prominence from the public, as an increasing number of minorities reside in urban cities, while at the same time becoming targets by the police force on the account of their race. Despite the fact that this is a vital issue that several modern policing agencies face, they have been robust in denying even the mere thought of racial profiling. Rather, they have insisted on not targeting “who”, but criminal behaviour, a statement that contrasts deeply with research completed by scholars. In addition, this essay will also analyze the data suppression of race in crime reports, and, in the end, it will be clear that the police force has indeed…

    Theory The article "Public opinion, prejudice and the racialization of welfare in Canada " written by Allison Harrel, Stuart Soroka and Kiera Ladner, explains the role of race as a limiting factor for social welfare support. The authors base their ideas on examples of racialization in the United States, where "social assistance programmes"(1) are commonly associated with specific groups, or vulnerable factions of the population, in this particular case poor blacks, in a negative connotation. The authors decided to develop their own theories with the attempt of finding further evidence on racialized attitudes towards this type of government aid in Canada. For this purpose, one of the theories pertinent to this research is: “...at least among…

    The Chinese workers represented a threat to unskilled white employees in the province of British Columbia. The more the Chinese were hired, the angrier the population from B.C. got. This resulted in several attempts of prohibiting them from immigrating to Canada. Also, the international community of the time had a lot of prejudice towards the Chinese, as well. Countries such as Australia and the USA had created ways of reducing the immigration of this group of Asians (Lee 51).…
