Jamie’s discussion post had similar viewpoints to my own. Jamie believes that Ramona should not accept the job. I will discuss two of the major points Jamie mentioned and further review them. First, the recruiter did not provide Ramona with clear answer following the gripe-site. The only response they could provide was that lawyers were shutting the sites down. Like Jamie, I found this quite alarming that the company would did not have a defense for what other websites were saying about their ethics and morals. The way Next Step treated past corporations was not in a Godly manner. The CEOS and executives of Next Step have opposite worldviews and morals than Christians, will effect business decisions that Ramona would have to make everyday.

When I read this article I did not realize how badly Next Step was stereotyping against Ramona due to her background. The recruiter stated that because Ramona went to a Christian university and was from the south, she would be able easily convince new distributors in the south to purchase Next Step Herbal Health. Robert Cantwelk gave a great definition of stereotyping when he said this, “In stereotype we assign individual to groups on the basis perhaps of a single trait, such as skin color, a profession or region, a native language, all perceived in relation to their contraries in the self ( Cantwell, 1990, p. 57).” The recruiter assumed that because of her age, religion, prior university, and location of living that the company could use this to their advantage to lock in new distributors to the south. Ramona should read the bible passage where Paul tells the Galatians that, “ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians #:28, ESV). In other words, we are all sons and daughters of Jesus Christ and are all uniquely created by our Father. Next Step already placed a judgment on Ramona’s personality before even getting to know her. This is another important reason why Ramona should decline the job offer. Great job on your discussion post,
