On June 23rd of 2016, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that in the case of Fisher v. University of Texas At Austin, also known as Fisher II, affirmative action was fair and that Miss Fisher was not cheated out of a spot at UT Austin. Affirmative action is the act of benefiting people of an underprivileged group who presently or historically have known to be victims of inequity or discrimination. In terms of college applications, it means that African Americans, Native Americans, and…

Earthworm Action Potential Conduction Velocity: The Effects of Various Salts and Neurotransmitters When it comes to performing action potential experiments within the lab, the giant nerve fibers of an earthworm are an important tool for success. They yield a high success rate when compared to other organisms (Kladt, Hanslik, & Heinzel, 2010), and provide a more ethical means of testing how various neurotransmitters affect action potentials, instead of direct use on humans for pharmaceutical…

I chose an article from The National Law Review by Daniel J. Green entitle Promoting Diversity Without Reverse Discrimination. I thought this article was interesting because it addressed the potentially negative impact of diversity programs. The issue of diversity has been covered in several of my business classes. I agree that diversity in the workplace is beneficial and should be actively addressed by leadership. While we have been given many basic outlines for implementing diversity programs…

More importantly, diversity management is not the same as affirmative action, which is solely based on a legislative action. Instead, diversity management is described as a company…

Let’s talk a little about how similar a tree in our backyards is to a neuron in our brain. A human brain cell has close to 100 billion neurons. If that’s not impressive, I don’t know what else is. The parts of a neuron are much like the parts of a tree in many ways. The word dendrite is a greek term meaning “tree-like.” The dendrite is much like the branches on a tree because just like branches on a tree receives nutrients through the tree to the leaves to help grow more leaves, a dendrite grows…

Oppressed people need to set themselves apart from the rest - they need to realize that being different does not make them any less of a human being, or less fortunate. When oppressed people come to terms with this, they will be able to reflect this to others and not settle for what “has always been”, but rather pride themselves in their distinction, and take steps towards making a difference. In “Just Walk On By: A Black Man Ponders”, Brent Staples shares a personal experience on how he had to…

example, in today’s society there are affirmative action laws in our penitentiary hiring systems. The system is based off of points. An applicant takes a written test, a physical test, and then attends training. Points are assigned for every task completed as well as every question that is answered correctly. I would use this system, except for one part. If you are of black you can be hired with fewer points only because of the affirmative action laws. I do not believe that World Petroleum…

Criminologists have often criticised police for not reflecting society’s diversity in its staffing profile, but this is not really a significant issue as it does not impact on policing practices. Do you agree with this statement, why or why not? Australia is a highly diverse country, that prides itself in being a place of acceptance and fairness. While that is correct for society, there is one place where diversity is lacking; the Australian police force. Consisting mainly of Anglo-Saxon,…

Companies nowadays are adapting a more diverse workforce as a strategy to justify their business case with the principal of moral case in order to have a competitive advantage upon other businesses. Myrtle Bell (2012) defines diversity as “real or perceived differences among people” and Consultant Thomas Roosevelt (2006) considers there is a direct link between diversity and organizational culture given that the way people are treated at work is a reflection of the organisation’s culture.…

The United States is known for its expansion amid its industrial plants in the late 19th century. At the centre of this development was the automation of the production industry. People were replaced with machines. One of the companies that perfected this in the United States was British textile manufacturer (Boorstin, 2010). As a result, workers advocated unions to solve their workplace issues. The deterioration of the workplace status changed as the country approached its last years of the…
