The same thing can also happen when deciding someone sexuality. A person should really ask before assuming from the way the individuals presents themselves and from the way that they act around people. For my interview, I decided to choose a family friend that I have know for most of my life. Sara is a straight twenty-six-year-old female that works for a company called HD Supply. Which is a company that focuses on maintenance, repairing equipment, and the construction of new buildings. When asking her to help with answering interview question, she was more than willing to help. After asking about how she classifies herself. I asked her if she had been classified in any other type of way that she doesn’t see herself. Her reaction was priceless. she gave me the face of how would someone classify me as something other than female. She answered with “no I have never been classified as anything other than female”. Even with her playing softball in high school and being a die hard football and baseball fan, she as never been called as being male or a lesbian. As we kept talking …show more content…
Sara had the reaction that I believed she would after asking the previous questions. She believes that people are still treated and liked based on their gender and sexuality and that people should act certain ways depending on their gender and sexuality too. Also, she believes that it shouldn’t matter how you classify yourself no matter what the person wants to do they should be able to do it, no questions asked. With the whole the way it is. We both think that nothing can be done about this because people are going to act the way they feel about things. It’s not like that the government can make a law that everybody as to except each person for what they

    Microaggressions are verbal or behavioral indignities that communicate hostile, negative insults towards a marginalized group of people, and these indignities can be either intentional or unintentional (Sue 271). Microaggressions can either be demonstrated verbally through insults or non-verbally through behaviors and actions, and the person committing them often fails to notice that they are enforcing a stigma. Although these microaggressions seem to be harmless, minor comments or actions, they can lead to people feeling discriminated against because they demonstrate underlying hostility and prejudice towards people on the basis of identity, including race, gender, and sexuality. Robert Merton’s Role Theory may explain microaggressions…

    Just one year prior, the same Congress had passed the Equal Pay Act of 1963, which prohibited wage differentials based on sex. The prohibition on sex discrimination was added to the Civil Rights Act by Howard W. Smith, a powerful Virginia Democrat who chaired the House Rules Committee and who strongly opposed the legislation. Smith's amendment was passed by a teller vote of 168 to 133. Historians debate Smith's motivation, whether it was a cynical attempt to defeat the bill by someone opposed to both civil rights for blacks and women, or an attempt to support their rights by broadening the bill to include women.[23][24][25][26] Smith expected that Republicans, who had included equal rights for women in their party's platform since 1944, would…

    One suggestion would to make the interview process as relax as possible, thus this would hopefully encourage the participant to answer the question in a nonbiased way. We could also include other populations in our study; however, we truly want to focus on Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. If response rates are low, disregard them or try to get response another way. It is hard to minimize nonsampling errors; however, these are a few suggestions I believe could slightly…
