Why Tipping Should be Banned Although, Americans have grown accustomed to believing tipping a waiter or a waitress at a restaurant is part of the American dining experience, the fact is, it is a borrowed custom from Europe (Burton). According to Michael Lynn, a professor at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration, “tipping in the United States began just after the American Civil War in the late 1800’s.” The custom was introduced again in the United States when wealthy Americans…

feminists everywhere are still fighting to gain rights that they were promised oh so long ago. It is 2016 and women who work the same job as men, are paid 20% less than their male counterpart. It is very evident that the gender gap is real and so is discrimination towards women in the workplace, but there is not enough being done about it. Take it from Kristen Bright, who worked in an online security company that was composed of 50 employees, 6 of…

The act of discrimination against humans of different race, ethnicity, age, or gender will always continue to be wrong and unjust. Discrimination itself is defined as: “the prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex” (Merriam-Webster). Many people believe that discrimination and racism are things of the past, however, they are still very prevalent in today’s society. Every day, more and more people are being discriminated…

Even though I was not part of the police force I have witnessed many occasions of the gender discrimination in the police force. When I was involved in a car accident, there were both female and male officers present at the scene but the male officer did most of the investigation. The female officer seemed to not have any say in the investigation and…

A principle serves it purpose as a system of belief or behavior. In this case philosopher John Rawls proposes a theory in which he believes justice should be fair, this not meaning it is being perceived by the following texts, "Still Separate, Still Unequal" by Jonathan Kozol, "Rethinking Affirmative Action" by David Leonhardt, and "Gay Marriage: Sidestep on Freedom 's Path" by Alexander Cockburn. It is clear that these three essays do not display any attachment to John Rawls 's principles,…

Another View on Life The photograph from the 2007 French Campaign Protests in Toulouse, France depicts a man protesting the campaign because he is not in accordance with the politician’s beliefs. It shows him having a negative attitude towards the campaign. He shows this by standing next to burning garbage cans in a crowded alley. The burning garbage cans are significant because the protestor thinks that the one candidate’s campaign is “garbage”, meaning the candidate’s ideas are atrocious.…

Racism Racism is one of the most common problems America is still facing in the community today. It was terrifying back before I was born. In 1870 a group call the KKK started a mission to get rid of all black people and or someone that might be black. In 1942 there were rules such as no person of color could sit in the front of a bus. I thank Rosa Parks for what she did to bring that kind of hate to stop. It is gruesome to see all the pictures and to hear people talking about it. There are so…

of racism, it 's a little more multiplex, because everyone goes through different things in life, and not everyone experiences the same things. It also is hard to try empathizing with the different racial discrimination people experience. I am a person who has never been faced with discrimination, therefore I do not know what it may feel like. But I understand that it is a serious impact and can change a person 's…

Job Discrimination is when someone is denied a job or assignment for non-job related reasons. Job discrimination can happen without one’s knowledge. For example, a close friend of mine told me he quit his job. The company he worked for would not promote him due to his skin tone. They told him he would be a great fit and most likely would get the position, only to give it to his colleague. Also, at my place of employment, they do not hire male teachers. We have one male teacher as a floater but…
