Chapter VII Case Study

Introduction Discrimination implies judging individuals by their ability/disability statuses, race, gender, sexuality, age, and religion as opposed to their competence levels. People may apply for jobs where they are the best-qualified candidates. However, they could fail to get these jobs because of the HR’s discriminative practices. Such form of practice is authentic discrimination. This case study describes one such instance as follows. In July 2015, a large health care facility lost a case in the settlement of a disability discrimination suit filed by one of its employees (named Ms. X hereafter for confidentiality) through the U.S EEOC. The ...

Introduction

Domestic terrorist acts in the United States have been committed by a combination of native ideological sects, individuals representing what are considered to be extremist ideologies, and internationally-based terrorist organizations, such as Al-Qaeda. In the aftermath of the September 11, 2011 Al-Qaeda sponsored terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was implemented (Furlow, 2005). The primary objective of the Department of Homeland Security can be seen as terrorism prevention. Although prevention of terrorism does not eradicate its ideological causes per se, the act of prevention can aid in the identification and ...

Marquez’ worldwide reputation of a prolific and outstanding author is undeniable. His international recognition reached its peak in 1982 when he got the Nobel Prize in Literature. Because of the poverty of Colombia, Marquez experienced and witnessed economic and social inequity that was one of the most dramatic on the Latin American continent. Marquez employs national history to produce plots that surprise readers because of the writer’s ability to combine techniques of the fantastic and realism. To be more exact, Marquez was the master of a style, which is known as magic realism. It helped the author to ...

America exists as a highly ethnically diverse democratic country. In the mid-twentieth century, Edward Murrow voiced a budding hope about the improving standards of equality across races and genders (NPR, 2005). Equality within the American society describes the equitable sharing of all national resources across diverse social groups such as race, gender, and sexual orientation. Since the eradication of segregation in America, numerous strategies aimed at standardizing healthcare across races have been put in place. However, despite these efforts, there still exist persisting and puzzling health disadvantages to African Americans (Mays, Cochran, & Barnes, 2007).

I have learned certain concepts about motivation. The following is a presentation of what I have learned about Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and Equity Theory. A contrast of the two theories will be made, and one will be chosen based on certain reasons.

Maslow’s hierarchy of Needs

The theory posits that what motivates people to have nothing to do with either conscious benefits or rewards. Maslow argued that people are largely motivated because they want to achieve certain needs. When a person fulfills a certain need, he is motivated to fulfill the next need in the hierarchy. Maslow came up with five ...

There are a number of lessons that one must learn as one goes through life. But the lesson of attempting to survive through the racial discrimination in the south is one lesson that is most valuable to those who lived in that era. Many blacks can now relate to the racial challenge that Jefferson face in Louisiana in 1948. Like many other blacks during the 1940’s, Jefferson faces death for a murder. Of course the laws during the period did not require much proof to convict a black man as much of the stories of the past reveal ...

Religion has been the foundation of arrangement and strife of social orders, where both viewpoints make a noteworthy commitment to our comprehension of society. However, a new form of religion known as capitalism religion has developed which is now the source of hope and fulfilment for people in the modern world. This exposition will look into a structuralist and interpretative position on the effect of the capitalism religion on society and how religion can be used to help people understand it as a false hope. The scholars that will be utilized are Karl Marx, Max Weber, and David Loy. ...

Abstract

There is currently a shift to the social determinants of health (SDH) framework in public health and the larger health system. The framework demonstrates that larger social systems impact individual socioeconomic position which predicts material, biological, and psychosocial circumstances. The resulting disparity directly impacts health. Disparity can be noted in diabetes and heart disease. Healthy People 2010 and 2020 have raised the issue of disparity at a national level which stimulated research and program and policy development to eliminate SDH. Advanced practice nurses have important roles to play as leaders, researchers, advocates, and care providers in the achievement of ...

The Class

Writing prompt Frye’s definition of oppression is very specific and uncommon. Critics argue that groups which are actually oppressed do not fall under the category, according to the author’s illustration, while those that aren’t legitimately oppressed are considered as such. Marilyn Fries states that women are oppressed as a group but men, at the same time, are not. She also defines main characteristics essential to the oppressed personality. First of all, they must be restricted by some kind of barriers. Secondly, the restrictions must affect the person in a negative way. In particular, loose freedom, independence, ...

The social position of Muslim women is covered with decades of double-standards, misinterpretation and over-generalizing. As the result, nowadays there is a certain stereotype of what a Muslim woman should be, how she should behave and how she is to be treated by society in general. These issues concern institutional regulations, gender inequality, policy on women’s body and mobility and imposing the ideal stereotype. Considering these factors, it can be concluded that Muslim women are highly pressured regardless of where they live.

Rigid regulation of gender-based structures

First interesting proof of Muslim’s community double standards is gender-driven limitation is such institutions as ...

Abstract

In the globalized world, it is difficult to preserve national culture uninfluenced by tendencies and trends that are brought up by technological development or changes in lifestyles. Even such conservative societies as Saudi Arabia or other East Asian nations are subject to dramatic changes in the minds of people. For centuries, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s culture was under a great influence of religion, traditions, the way of living of the ancestors, and rich heritage that allows it to be influential and independent. Islam influenced the culture of the country a lot. However, some historical incidents affected women ...

The Colonization of foreign lands by whatever nation more often than not proves devastating to the colonized territory and people residing on it. The arrival of the British, a potent seafaring nation, on the Indian subcontinent marked an extensive period of exploitation that left the economy in a stagnant state. Starvation and poverty, illiteracy, agricultural decline, resource exploitation, wealth drain, trade inequity, infrastructural underdevelopment, feudalist land ownership, and the near-liquidation of artisans were among the outcomes of the Crown rule. However, this is not to say that positive outcomes were nonexistent, as the globalized nature of the sea empire ...

Human Resource Management

In my current organizational role, the factor I am mostly motivated by is the high-order needs that are self-actualization and self-satisfaction. Although the low-order needs drive me, needs like an achievement, and recognition, being able to be fully happy in the job that I do every day and growing in it is my greatest motivator. Herzberg Hygiene factors for satisfaction also serve as motivators. Working in an environment where my work is appreciated, a recognition given, work is properly allocated, and all employees are given equal opportunity to compete for positions of leadership all serve as important factors. In ...

It can be concluded that the theoretical context of the campaign can be challenged on numerous grounds. The most obvious is the fact that most of the positions (catering) in Mc. Donald could not be compared to other positions of specialization that offer higher wages and career growth. Hence, any contextual comparison to other positions of industry or positions of other industries could not be conducted on the grounds of Equity theory. Furthermore, the conception of relating the wage raise with business revenue and growth does not justify the claim, as well. This is because of the fact that ...

- Briefly discuss the benefits and limitations of the organizational grapevine.

Organizational grapevine refers to the informal communication network that exists in organizations. It allows transferring information (including gossip) among members informally and is based on personal relations and trust. Although grapevine is hard to formally define or implement in the decision-making, the costs and benefits of grapevine cannot be ignored. Firstly, grapevine is usually faster in transmitting information and could allow managers to make more rapid decisions. Grapevine information is usually more flexible as it is not confined within formal communication frameworks. The use of grapevine communication channels ...

Motivation pertains to the forces that determine or influence the level, persistence, and direction of effort that a person exerts at work (Schermerhorn, Osborn, Uhl-Bien & Hunt, 2012) where direction is the person’s choice from a given set of alternatives; level refers to the amount of effort exerted; and persistence refers to the duration by which a person sticks to a particular action (Schermerhorn et al., 2012). There are many theories that suggest the factors that motivate people. While none of them on their own offer a complete understanding of what motivates people, they all offer some insight on the various things that ...

The probability of Social Security’s ability to continue distributing full benefits to retirees is low, according to the forecasts of most economic and financial experts. The forecasts predicting Social Security’s insolvency stem from the manner in which the Federal government funds the program. Currently Social Security is funded through employee tax payments under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act or FICA (Martoccio, 2011). The benefit payments the government distributes to existing retirees comes from the current contributions of existing workers (Martoccio, 2011). In other words, the funding for the amount of outgoing payments is dependent on the amount ...

The United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development (1987) defined Sustainable Development as “the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” But Sustainable Development is more complex than this simplified definition. Sustainable Development has many issues concerning it such as development of underdeveloped nations, climate change, environmental damage, environmental regulation, addressing the problem of world poverty, population control, sustainable tourism, ecosphere preservation, urbanization, and conservation of earth’s resources. Sustainable Development is truly a challenge that is global in nature as it concerns the earth’s ...

How Affordable Housing can Improve Health Equity in the Black Community

How Affordable Housing can Improve Health Equity in the Black Community A lot of Americans think that racism is a thing of the past. If not totally gone, some Americans think that it has somehow gotten better over the years. This cannot be any further from the truth. Racism is still very much a part of the American culture; only now it is disguised and is placed in different little corners of the society. In the field of medicine and health, inequities may still be observed – especially in the treatment towards African American folks. In terms of health disparities, ...

Introduction

Sports and gender is not quite phenomenal since it has lived on since time immemorial. Even so, gender inequality is something that has been sung for quite some time and some attempts have been made to try and level of the balance so that women can have the benefits that men seemingly enjoy. On many occasions, games that mainly feature men are the ones that have been invested ever since and only recently have they started to feature women in the respective games like football, rugby, athletics, and even handball. On many occasions, the global sports have tried to ...

Motivation is the process of making people do what they do not want to. Motivation is the invisible force that drives an employee or a person to work in such a way that they generate positive vibes of accomplishment and success if done in the correct way. There are several theories that explain the motivation of an employee and one important theory is equity theory of motivation. According to this theory, employees are motivated if they perceive the sense of equality as compared to others in the organization (Redmond). According to Gogia, “all the employees will compare their input benefits ratio ...

Introduction

People are complex and lots of different factors contribute to their overall level of job satisfaction. Happiness, career aspirations, challenges, money, stress are all factors that contribute to the employee motivation. Reward management is the method of recognition of employees’ performance by the financial and non-financial means. The components of financial rewards are basic performance pay (salary) and worker benefits, which are mutually involved in overall compensation. The non-financial rewards are connected with the promotion, admiration, success, accountability and personal growth (Armstrong, 2006). The crucial objective of the employee reward practices is to help attract, maintain and motivate high-quality ...

[Author] Sen, Ostlin and George (2007) claimed in their report to the WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health that girls and women had been viewed as less capable than boys and men. Women tend to hold different kinds of jobs as men (Correll, 2001), and experience double standard in the delegation of assignments. A study noted a 50 percent tendency for people to display distinct female role expectations (Lafky, Duffy, Steinmaus & Berkowitz, 1996). Real inequity exists in many areas of the woman’s work life: “equal pay for equal work, protection of working mothers, fairness in career advancements, ...

How Race Survived History by David R. Roediger explores various ways in which the idea of race was initially created and recreated in American history. In his book, David reveals how race played a critical role in a progressive national history. He illustrates the ways in which race intersected all that was progressive and dynamic in U.S history, right from economic development, democracy to globalization and immigration. Based on what has happened in the past, Roediger explores the evidence that U.S will eventually become a ‘non-white’ majority nation probably in the next fifty years or so. In a nutshell, this masterful history depicts ...

There is a biased view in most prestigious universities that regard African American males as pawns instead of academic scholars due to racial based assumptions and stereotypic attitudes. Most individuals with the racism attitudes believe that African Americans are naturally academic dwarfs thus they lack the ability of achieving academically as with the case of their Whites counterparts. This is due to the assumption that Africans are essentially adapted for manual duties but not first class roles that need a sharp brain. According to Wilson, Lena and Félix (205), the mass media plays a crucial role in bringing on board how ...

Health social determinants are defined by the WHO (World Health Organization) (2012) as “the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, including the health system. These circumstances are shaped by the distribution of money, power and resources at global, national and local levels, which are themselves influenced by policy choices. The social determinants of health are mostly responsible for health inequities – the unfair and avoidable differences in health status.” The WHO definition demonstrates the many layers of complex issues that are involved in determining who has good health and who does not have good health. ...

Explain how health inequalities may be understood as inequalities that require structural level explanations.

Inequalities in health are deplored in modern democratic nations and equal opportunities are extolled in principle, if not in practice. The legacy of racism and economic inequality can be rooted in history and is still permeating in the status quo. Inequalities in health status, disease occurrence and mortality are shaped by accumulated wealth, material circumstances, environmental quality, nutrition and a wide range of personal behaviours, genetic inheritance and health services (Bhopal, 2006). Within multiethnic societies, European-origin White populations are characterized by being richer, more powerful and enjoying better material circumstances, environment quality, and health services than non-White ethnic-minority populations. ...

Inequity

Comparison often gives rise to inequity perception or feeling within employees. This is quite similar to the case at Plantir, where the management observed dissatisfaction and lack of motivation in the employees which eventually resulted in the retirement of Colin (production manager). Although, the company was able to gain its desired objectives (i.e. increase in the level of sales and the generation of cash) but the obsession to increase sales and profit to reduce cash pressures led to the dissatisfaction of several employees, even including the production manager. The sales team was awarded with lucrative bonuses and rewards, whereas ...

It’s Contestations in Contemporary Organizations

The Notion of Corporate Social Responsibility and It’s Contestations in Contemporary Organizations Every action or business operation of an organization is in some way related to social factors. As such, it is unavoidable for a company to lay sincere focus towards being a responsible and active corporate citizen. In order to thrive under this social dependence, corporations need to collaborate with scientists, activists and thought leaders to make Environmental Justice economically feasible. While corporate social responsibility was once considered to be philanthropic activities that could only be afforded by corporate giants, the view of the business community has changed ...

Introduction

Motivation is the driving force that makes us do things that we do. Our needs generate our behavior which in turns tries to satisfy our needs. The basic concept of motivation is based on the relationship between these three – needs-behavior-satisfactions. Our needs vary in nature. Depending on the nature of our needs - social, biological, emotional and cognitive, we take actions to fulfill those needs. There are a number of theories developed by researchers to explain the force of motivation behind our action. This paper will touch upon four such theories – Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, cognitive evaluation theory, equity ...

It is difficult to overestimate the effect that increased globalization has had on the manufacturing and food marketplaces, particularly since the end of World War II. Up until the start of the recession in 2008, economic globalization was growing at a remarkable rate, as reported by the KOF Swiss Economic Institute, an organization that measures and tracks globalization (Dreher, 2013). However, as can be seen by the flat economic globalization rate since 2008, there are limits to the growth of globalization. A number of economic commentators have put forth the possibility of deglobalization (Samuelson, 2012). Some have stated that deglobalization ...

(City, State) In Australia, various factors have been identified as determinants of health status in any given population. These factors include class, gender, ethnicity or whether one is indigenous or non-indigenous. Understanding the effect of these determinants on health and their interaction poses a great challenge.

In the US is there are significant disparities in the prevalence of several chronic diseases. In most cases the diseases prevalence is higher in African Americans than it is for white Americans (Virginia Department of Health, 2013). The ...

Campaigns promoting sustainable development are accompanied by various environmental issues and problems in different communities for they all shared various cultures as well. It is therefore acclaimed that the functioning campaign must start from bottom at the community ground going to top level. We are much aware that communities are grassroots that encompasses a nation. People in this level are the one directly affected and can take action immediately compared to those on the top. Yet, it is very significant that in any level, they should be included and aware of the on-going dialogue about sustainable development. Target audience should ...

Miller (2013, p. 173) stated that the doctrine of promissory estoppel also known as “detrimental reliance”, shall give any person who has reasonably and substantially relied on the promise of another to acquire some measure of recovery. At present time, the doctrine of promissory estoppel has been used in different contexts by the court that allowed the recovery of a promise despite lack consideration on the promissor. The doctrine enabled the court to enforce an unenforceable promise that will prevent the miscarriage of justice to those who suffered losses and damages. In order for the ...

In his “Discourse on Inequality” Rousseau addresses the psychological and political effects of property ownership on human nature and society. He criticizes the inequity of modern institutions and traces their origins back showing how the evolution of humankind established the relationship between property, society and inequality. Originally written in 1754 as an entry for a competition run by the Dijon Academy of Arts and Sciences it established him as an important philosopher. The original question was “What is the origin of inequality among men, and is it authorized by the natural law?” Although his first discourse won the competition in ...

Current Events in Business

A fair wage or salary is usually determined by several factors in the business field. The market and the businesses in it usually set the managers’ salaries (Austin, 2010). One of the major factors that influence the amount of salary a business manager earns is the level of education of the employee. For example, workers who have an associate’s degree, a bachelor degree and a Master’s Degree are not usually paid the same amount of salary. In most cases, the higher the level of academic qualifications, the higher the salary/ wage. Another factor that organizations can use to determine a fair ...

In managing or starting a business, there are a lot of things that must be considered. If an owner fails to address at least one aspect of managing a business, there is a good chance that a chain reaction will occur and most of the time; it will correspond to the degree of failure previously made. This paper will be a compilation of results from an interview conducted with an entrepreneur from Morocco who is an owner of a profitable firm manufacturing diaper as well. Certain areas like his reasons for starting his business, his motivations, the strategies he used and the approaches he utilized ...

Abstract

Women with the same education, knowledge and experience are paid far less than their male counterparts for the same position. Women have traditionally chosen careers such as school teachers, librarians, and secretaries. These are just some examples and are by no means an exhaustive list. As a result, we have seen the emergence of two labor markets. This is defined as “occupational sex segregation, one labor market for men and a completely different labor market for women. This has resulted in pay disparity between men and women. Women must be willing to obtain training in the “hard sciences” such mathematics, physics, ...
