Personal beliefs can affect the typical worker in any work environment, not in just a law firm. The best example for personal beliefs in the workforce can be identified with religion. Religion is one the largest topics of personal beliefs because something out of the ordinary that interferes with a worker's religious beliefs can create chaotic results in the workforce. In Hobby Lobby, their Christian belief systems had a controversy for paying for birth control to their workers. AT&T's workers are currently undergoing a strike because they do not want their job being outsourced to other countries. These are just a few examples of what a worker will do in the workforce.

John Tyson is the founder of Tyson foods; he has allowed his employees to be open with their spirituality and also follows the Christian faith. I found it very interesting that they have hired 120 office chaplains - “The Chaplaincy Program has been in place since October 2000 and "provides compassionate pastoral care to Team Members and their families." (Rohrlich, 2010) John Tyson stated they have employees that practice different religions within their organization; such as, Muslim faith, Jewish faith, and many different types of Baptist.…

    Tamika, thank you for your thoughtful assessment in helping Shania start and name her business. While, I do agree with you that that believers are not to be unequally yoke with unbelievers revealed in (2 Corinthians 6:14). This does create a conundrum for Shania, however it’s my belief that Shania should not be partners with Carlos due to him being an unbeliever nevertheless, he can work for her, and conversely your viewpoint is because he is an unbeliever and they don’t share the same beliefs that he cannot work for her. Furthermore, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin (Kim,2015) and for this reason these laws are created to protect those who may experience discrimination because of their faith (Ludlum,2016).…

    Hi Jacinda,I agree is best not to discuss our personal beliefs at work like religions and politics because we all have different opinions. For instance, in my work, we don't discuss politics because the office is divided about the new elections. It is best if we all keep our affiliation to ourselves because some can be very passionate while others can have negative perspectives of the future candidates. Also, religion is a strong topic that should not be discussed because people might interpret as discrimination. For instance, people might believe that you are trying to change their beliefs.…

My faith is very strong, but there have been many times where I felt that I had lost that faith.
