Question of Fairness: The Affirmative Action Debate The establishment and implementation of Affirmative Action over 40 years ago, continues to be an American’s debate of fairness. In this informative video, “A Question of Fairness: The Affirmative Action Debate,” posted by Films on Demands, presents an aggressive point of view of affirmative action fairness. Undoubtedly, through this video, it is feasible to suggest that some may think that affirmative action is not the answer for equality. …

Introduction Diversity is the mixture of an organizations workforce, which provides a variety of abilities, knowledge, skills, and strengths. This is due to the organizations diversity in backgrounds, physical abilities, sexual orientation, and other attributes their human capital possess. Cultural diversity is an increasingly important phenomenon that affects the cohesion and efficiency of organizations (Lozano & Escrich, 2017). Organizations are seeking to develop and improve their…

Task 1 1.1 Explain what is meant by: Diversity means to value and respect the differences and individuality of people. This means to embrace the differences between people and to treat a person’s race, culture, religious beliefs, age, sexual orientation, gender, physical and mental characteristics etc. with respect. Diversity means that people should be treated as individuals and appreciated for their uniqueness. Equality means to treat everyone the same respect regardless of any…

Out of everything that the American people hold dear, one of the most important is their civil rights. Some people may not see it that way, but others are so highly dependent on their civil rights that they use it so much to almost be a bad habit to get their way when they cannot any other way. Civil rights are a good thing if taken and used the right way. The people may know and love their civil rights, but do they know how the 1964 Civil Rights Act was passed by law. Do they realize how the U…

Diversity in the work force is very important in today’s society. Having a diverse workplace can open up new ideas and competitiveness. One of the biggest leading global companies in diversity is Xerox. Xerox has been around for many years and the culture continues to evolve with different people through their work and dedication for Xerox products (Uhl-Bien, M., Schermerhorn, J. R., & Osborn, R. N. 2014). . In this case study diversity leads the way and Xerox is the most admired company in…

The basal ganglia (BG) receives input at the striatum from the cortex and provides output from the pallidum, in particular the globus pallidus internal (GPi) via the ventral anterior and lateral (VA/VL) thalamic nuclei to the cortex – forming a motor loop.1,2 There are two major pathways in this motor loop, the direct and indirect pathways.1,2 The direct pathway originates in the cortex, projecting to the striatum of the BG which consists of the caudate and putamen nuclei.1,2 The striatum…

growing up now, I think about how much white privilege there was in the world that I didn’t catch onto until now. For example, IVY league universities. Even though people mention how they select a good number of minorities to make up for affirmative action but still white people still have the privilege to get into a lot of the schools that black kids like me used to dream…

equality management concepts have historically been associated with mere legal compliance; the concept has advanced from Affirmative Action and Equal Employment…

In order to determine the extent to which the reversal potential for potassium determines the resting membrane potential of a given cell, a mechanism is needed to determine the change in membrane voltage across the cell in different extracellular potassium solutions. The intracellular recording technique consists of puncturing a prepared cell with a conductive pipette. The difference in potential between the extracellular electrode and the wire in the pipette is recorded and displayed on the…

The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the ionic basis of the neuron’s resting membrane potential (Vm). We examine how this potential is affected by potassium ion [K+] concentration and permeability using Orconectes rusticus crayfish abdominal muscles, and we ask whether or not the Nernst Equation solely based on [K+] can also predict the cell’s resting membrane potential. We predicted that [K+] concentration had a significant influence on the membrane potential and thus the Nernst…
