Under the settlement, the 814 ladies are to get a normal of $193,000- - the most elevated individual recompenses ever constructed in a sex separationcase- - and no offended party will get under $150,000. "I didn't need some other lady treated as was I," she said. "It had been their encounters, their witnesses, their time, their exertion and injury - alongside those accepting great choices - that put weight on StateFarm," Scott said…
Sam Walton Early Life In 1918, Sam Walton was the first of two boys born to Thomas Gibson and Nancy Lee Walton. He was born in a small town near Kingfisher, Oklahoma, but due to his father’s work as a farm mortgage banker, his family moved to Columbia, Missouri. The Great Depression caused Walton to know what it was like to live in poverty at a young age. Walton’s parents taught him early the importance of saving money and to always treat people with respect.…
In 2013, celebrity chef, Paula Deen, found herself in hot water after being accused of using an offensive racial slur in the past. This revelation emerged during a court proceeding, involving a lawsuit brought against Deen. Lisa T, Jackson, a former Deen restaurant employee, alleged that the chef had consistently used racial slurs and had mistreated employees of other races. During her deposition, Deen admitted to using the slur but denied any malicious intent. In response, Deen’s contract, which was already under review, was closely monitored, and she eventually lost endorsements from many major brands such as Smithfield Foods and Novo Nordisk, a pharmaceutical company.…

Students John and Mary Beth Tinker, and Christopher Eckhardt, attended schools in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1965. These students and their parents had previously participated in a program that publicized their support for a truce and their objections to the hostilities in Vietnam, by wearing black armbands during the holidays and fasting on December 16 and New Year 's Eve.

A Kentucky appeals court ruled on Friday that a Christian T-shirt maker did not discriminate in his refusal to print shirts promoting a gay pride event. In the court ruling, Chief Judge Joy Kramer stated that there was no evidence to prove that Blaine Adamson of Hands On Originals, a shirt-printing company, “refused any individual the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations it offered to everyone else because the individual in question had a specific sexual orientation or gender identity.” Kramer said that instead, Adamson was found to have objected to spreading the message of the group, rather than rejecting them based on their sexual orientation. “Nothing in the fairness ordinance…

“When the personal, emotional, sexual experiences of women’s lives gained significance as legitimate social concerns with political consequences, men were forced to examine their own socially constructed roles as men…” (Plain and Sellers) This notion takes shape in Robertson Davies’s 1970 novel, Fifth Business. The novel presents an interesting debate over whether or not it is a feminist text since it was written by a non-feminist man. However, Fifth Business was authored during the second wave of feminism, a prominent movement which focused heavily on gynocriticism, defined as a form of feminist literary criticism that “seeks to appropriate female literacy” (O’Connor), and consequently may have had unknowingly had an effect on the way in which…
There are many issues I feel deserve the spot light when the topic "Issues of today" comes up, however, the issue I will speak about during this time comes from a personal level. It's about the sexism in the car sales industry, and the psychological impact it has on both men and women. From time to time, I often find myself thinking whether or not the business is worth it, because of the amount of stress I go through everyday, however, beggers can't be choosers, that is why I stay. Everyday I see our managers (all men) give our female-salesmen higher expectations, lower income, and split their deals into "half deals" with the male-salesman (half-deals are when a salesman gives another their customer, because they are either busy with another…

To put it in simpler terms, we can say that it costs more money to look “feminine”. Price discrimination often takes place as diverse groups have dissimilar price elasticities for a particular product.…
