Action T4

The two protected grounds I will be discussing in this essay are disability and gender equality and for each ground I will discuss a case study that has occurred in Ireland. Discrimination in employment is prohibited by the Employment Equality Acts of 1998-2011. Discrimination weakens equality that is present in society. Discrimination may also damage social ties and weaken social solidarity, and in the context of employment, it can undermine labour standards and lead to an inefficient use of…

Affirmative Action Affirmative Action is a government policy that protects individuals from discrimination in employment and education (White 2004). The Affirmative Action law was a result of the 1960 Civil Rights Movement. Prior to 1960 organizations were known for practicing discrimination based on an individual’s gender, race or ethnicity. The law was established to afford opportunities to minority races by breaking down barriers that prevented them from having equal opportunities in…

During this last semester, I was introduced to diversity in workplace from a different, more in-depth angle which I was familiar with earlier but never really had thought about certain topics; such as discrimination not only based on the color and race but also based on age and gender. This class Understanding and Managing Diversity helped me gained a better understanding of diversity topics and issues. Through this class, I learned that diversity as a whole just does not encompass among other…

The mammalian nervous system consists of highly specialised cells called neurons, alongside supporting cells. The human brain contains 1010 to 1012 neurons (1). Neurons have a distinct cell shape and range from microns up to a millimeter in length. Neurons’ unique structure allows for rapid and specific transmission of signals along a neuron, and from one neuron to another. Neurons transmit nerve impulses over long and thin axons, and receive information through branches of dendrites. Although…

regarding the issue that is affecting the employees. In order to make an informed response, the first thing that must be done by the unions is to interrogate the proposals being tabled in light of all the available information and select the course of action that is most beneficial to the employees. The options that were being addressed were to accept the pay cuts that were being proposed by the CEO and the board of directors or risk the bankruptcy of the American…

The commons themes between the movie, Do The Right Thing by Spike Lee, and the book, The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin, are a mix between the differences in races, their similarities, and the hope of them becoming equal. These two, throughout their entirety, keep referencing race and the differences in relations to each other. The difference in the color of a person’s skin does not make them inferior or superior to one another. This division is a product of society’s views and judgments placed…

When observing historical and current societal debates, such as those over gender and racial inequality, debaters often utilize the concepts of equality and sameness as interchangeable. However, each concept conveys two entirely different meanings. The concept of equality indicates that each individual possesses government ordained rights, which connotes equality by law. The concept of sameness promotes the idea that individuals require uniform treatment, regardless of equality. In Elizabeth…

(The nervous system Louisa Idzal) The nervous system is all connected because it’s a web of nerve cells and fibers that all send nerve impulses throughout and between body parts. The nervous system is really important because it’s in charge of sending messages to the spinal cord and brain to and from all parts of the body. Main organs of the nervous system are Nervous Tissue, Brain, Spinal Cord, Nerves, Sense Organs, and the Cerebrospinal Fluid. The nervous tissue is the main tissue of the…

The Great railroad strike of 1877. It began in Martinsburg, West Virginia. The workers for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad wanted their pay cut returned to them, that they had lost over the last two years. The railroad workers have lost almost twice their wages over that period of time. The strike upon the railroad was rough for all that was involved. This includes the businessmen who owned the companies, the people who worked for these companies, and to the businesses who do business with the…

Most people are their religion as a safe haven, a place to turn to when the woes of the world seem very dire and extreme. But, what happens when the places where religions are practice—generally called churches—are plagued with the same issues that are prevalent in every other aspect of society? The issues of racism and managed diversity are no strangers to religious interactions. In the article “Managed Diversity; Race, Place, and an Urban Church”, these concepts are examined in relation to…
