answer the pleads by passing many laws and starting initiatives to better the workplace for all Americans regardless of Race, Gender, National Origin, Religion, Disability and Age. Two initiatives I will be exploring are Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action. Equal Opportunity Equal Opportunity started to make waves in 1961 as an executive order from President John F.

The United States government enacted affirmative action in 1961 during the Kennedy administration to give minorities an equal opportunity in society (“A brief History…”). Since then, many colleges and companies across the nation have implemented this action. Included in this action is a group of executive orders. One of the most popular executive actions introduced is the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that requires companies employed by the federal government to not judge based on race…

According to Schneider and Wildman (2011), before the 21st century, gender-based classification in education experienced a culture shift in how the Courts, as well as the states, should react to single-sex education. The authors reference three eras, (1) Before gender-neutral treatment in America, (2) When education (by design) discriminated against women’s ability to succeed outside the home. (3) When research began after the 21st century. Between 1870-1910, Those in opposition, protectionists…

In the mid 1800’s segregation played a big role in society. All public areas such as restrooms restaurants and schools were separate but not equal like the law said it should be. Even the railways were segregated, there were different railway cars for blacks and whites. The only exception was that nurses working on children of the opposite color were allowed to sit in the different compartments. A penalty of twenty-five dollars or up to twenty days in jail was the consequence for sitting in the…

While many celebrated the decision as a testament to upholding racial equality, Southern white nationalists were not so thrilled with the decision.

Moreover, in the Manifesto legislators contended that the “separate but equal” policy had become…

The success of diversity management initiatives is underpinned by embedding equal employment opportunities (EEO) policies in the firm’s business practices.

from a nearby all white school, but had to travel an hour by car to go to an all-black school. This was happening before Brown v. Education was taken into effect, now known as a landmark in the education history of the United States. Until then, equal education for African American communities was in dire need of improvement compared to the education that white American children were receiving. Brown v. Board of Education The Brown versus…

allowed for “separate but equal” in the public eye which included public schools and public facilities. The unanimous ruling ended federal tolerance of racial segregation but in the ruling for the Plessy v. Ferguson case, the Court ruled that “separate but equal” on the railroad cars confirmed that the Fourteenth Amendment guarantee equal protection. With that decision, it justified segregating all public facilities and schools. Some school district ignored Plessy’s “equal” requirements and just…

court that changed the future of the United states by eliminating the “separate equal”, giving all races the same equal treatment, and further allowing black communities to improve. The court case changed the previous ruling of “separate but equal.” Separate but equal was not ever an actual situation, but was an excuse to “justify segregating all public facilities” (History.com). The previous ruling for separate but equal was just an underhanded tactic used to keep things the way they were but…
