Analyze the benefits and costs of voluntarily prohibiting three to five (3-5) federal forms of discrimination prohibited under the federal anti-discrimination laws.

The Value of Fair Treatment in the Workplace

The year is 2025 and the U.S. Supreme Court has declared all laws prohibiting discrimination in the workplace to be unconstitutional. In its opinion, however, the Supreme Court made clear that employers could voluntarily adopt policies and procedures prohibiting any and all forms of discrimination in the workplace. The Supreme Court also made clear that employers could voluntarily adopt hiring practices to diversify their workforces provided such practices did not include express preferences based upon immutable characteristics.

You have been hired as a consultant by a large, nationwide retailer to examine the business case for ensuring that all of the employee protections are found within the federal anti-discrimination laws, as well as the business case for prohibiting any other forms of discrimination in the workplace.

Write a four to six (4-6) page report in which you:

Analyze the benefits and costs of voluntarily prohibiting three to five (3-5) federal forms of discrimination prohibited under the federal anti-discrimination laws.
Discuss the benefits and costs of voluntarily prohibiting a form of discrimination not covered by any of the federal anti-discrimination laws.
State the benefits and costs of voluntarily adopting hiring and promotion practices designed to diversify the workforce.
Evaluate the ethical considerations of not voluntarily prohibiting the forms of discrimination laws examined in the first part of your report. Next, determine the ethical considerations of not voluntarily adopting hiring and promotion practices to diversify the workforce.
Provide a final recommendation to this retailer on whether or not they should ensure all, part, or none of the employee protections examined in the first part of your report. Your recommendation should also include whether or not the retailer should adopt hiring and promotion practices designed to diversify the workplace. Be sure to include a rationale for your recommendation along with an explanation for any rejections of contrary positions or other pertinent considerations.

How is this definition similar or different from your previous understanding of what religion is? Do you think this definition of religion is appropriate to explain this concept? Why or why not?

1.

First, define “ritual,” “rite of passage,” and “play.” How are “ritual” and “play” different and how they similar? What is an example of each from your own life?

Second, describe some of the symbolic activities that occurred in the Apache girl’s rite of passage shown in the assigned film for this week (for example, speech, singing, dancing, gestures, and the manipulation of certain objects). Finally, explain what cultural ideas are reinforced in this ritual.

Of course, feel free to mention anything you thought was particularly interesting from this film.

Your post must be written in your own words. Remember to name your sources. If you summarize something from the textbook, you can say, “according to our textbook.” However, if you use quotes from the textbook or any other source, be sure to put them in quotation marks, state where they are from, and include the page number.

Your initial post (2 paragraphs) is due by Thursday at 11:59pm

2.

Though an incredibly influential concept, anthropologists struggle to define “religion.” John Bowen defines religion as “ideas and practices that postulate reality beyond that which is immediately available to the senses” (Lavenda and Schultz, 2015: 309). First, consider the following: How is this definition similar or different from your previous understanding of what religion is? Do you think this definition of religion is appropriate to explain this concept? Why or why not?

Second, compare the Azande and the U.S. evangelicals (both described in chapter ten). What similarities and differences do you see between these two in terms of symbolic practices and their worldviews?  How do members of each group explain misfortune?

Your post must be written in your own words. Remember to name your sources. If you summarize something from the textbook, you can say, “according to our textbook.” However, if you use quotes from the textbook or any other source, be sure to put them in quotation marks, state where they are from, and include the page number.
