Part Two: Review of An Organizational Problem Based on Race/Color Employment Discrimination

From the Paper
"Law offers equal opportunity in employment to all the citizens worldwide with the aid of Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. This is done because the people of the world particularly those that constituted the under privileged lot felt a strong need to speak up their minds and raise their opinions against the discrimination that is prevalent in varied forms at different levels of the society. Thus in order to curb the problem of discrimination in the employment sector, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission abbreviated as EEOC came into existence under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and started functioning on July 2, 1965 (U.S. EEOC: An Overview, Office of Communications and Legislative Affairs, 1998). Thus, with the aid of the drafting and implementation of several anti-discriminatory laws, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission provides its citizens with the employment opportunity that strictly forbids discrimination at all grounds and on all basis and in any form."

Abstract
This paper discusses the labor laws relevant to the guarantee of a non-discriminatory work environment. It focuses on how labor laws are applied within the labor union environment in protecting against discrimination. It explains that the labor laws in the United States are primarily governed by the U.S. Department of Labor which oversees approximately 180 various laws and regulations governing employment.

From the Paper
"Labor laws in the United States are overseen by the Department of Labor which, collectively, oversees approximately 180 various federal labor oriented laws. This body of laws and regulations oversee many workplace activities relevant to more than 10 million unique employers and more than 125 million unique employees. The following major labor laws constitute some of the most broadly applicable and well-known labor laws. Additionally, since unions constitute some the largest forces in labor across North America, labor laws pertinent to unions are also discussed. However, it should be mentioned that regardless of union membership, union members are, of course, entitled to the same protections on the existing body of labor laws that any employee is as well as a host of other protections vis-?vis his or her union contract. Pay & Schedule The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) outlines the standards for wages and overtime pay, which affect most private and public employment in ..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that the racist legal codes established in the South after the end of the Civil War were commonly known as Jim Crow laws. The writer discusses that these laws were comprehensive, discriminatory, strict, and dealt with every aspect of Southern society.

From the Paper
"For example, passenger stations operated by railroad companies had to have separate waiting rooms or space and separate ticket windows for Southern blacks. The conductors of passenger trains were authorized and required to segregate Southern blacks in separate cars or sections of cars."

Abstract
This paper is a proposal for a research essay that will examine Quebec's language laws as they presently exist, and as they have existed since the 1970's. Besides being an historical study, the paper will be an empirical one insofar as it will collect data which illustrates how the language laws have materially impacted non-French businesses and new arrivals to the province of Quebec. Ultimately, the final essay will test this writer's hypothesis that the language laws are an indefensible affront to the citizenship rights of new Canadians and should be designated as unjustifiably discriminatory.

Abstract
The paper explores the view of proponents of 'three strikes' laws, who argue that incarcerating repeat criminals reduces crime. The paper questions the deterrence of these laws and looks at critics who maintain that they actually increase violence, are a financial burden and are discriminatory. The paper discuses the lack of consistency in the legislation and implementation of these laws among states as well as the crippling of judicial and prosecutorial discretion.

From the Paper
"Americans perceive crime as a threat, although statistically violent crime has declined in recent years. (Pfeffer) Responding, many states have adopted "three strikes" laws, based on the idea that a small class of repeat offenders commits the majority of crimes. (Beres & Griffith, 1998; Pfeffer) Proponents of such laws argue that incarcerating "career" criminals reduces crime. Critics call these laws a sloppy response to the problem, only mildly deterrent, and are a financial burden. (Pfeffer)"
"California's was the first "three strikes" law, requiring that criminals with prior felonies be gotten off the street, sentenced to longer prison terms, 25 years to life even if the third crime was a non-violent felony, so that even minor crimes can lead to a life sentence. (Pfeffer)"

Abstract
The paper presents an argument against Three Strikes Laws as costly, discriminatory and leading to overcrowding in prison without significantly reducing crime. The paper argues that such laws can actually increase violent crime.

From the Paper
"The first three strikes and you're out law - which sends a thrice-convicted felon to jail for a long, and in some cases, life-long sentence, was a response to the kidnapping and murder of ...-year old Polly Klaas in California by Richard Allen Davis. Davis was a parolee released after serving eight of sixteen years for a similar crime, outrage over his actions led legislators and the public to call for strict sentencing for repeat offenders, a trend that has..."

Abstract
This paper argues against profiling Arab Americans, which the author considers a form of discrimination and prejudice aimed at these citizens. The author points out that after the attacks of 9/11, there has been a spike in incidents of Arab Americans being racially and religiously profiled without their consent or knowledge. The author further states that law enforcement officials actively advocate this profiling. The author states that discrimination of any sort is based on stereotypes, and is a result of the 9/11 attacks still being felt years later. The author concludes that profiling Arab Americans is due to deep xenophobia among Americans.

Introduction

Analysis
Conclusion

From the Paper
"Many scholars have been warily tracing the increase in surveillance and surveillance technology in society, assaying a shift from individualized or community-based surveillance to an increasingly universal technological surveillance system based on capital. After the terrorist attacks of 9/11, public scrutiny drifted away from the sort of Orwellian paranoia perpetuated by many critics of surveillance before the attacks and turned to its necessity. Still, however, the dangers of the new surveillance are just as valid, if not more so, as a threat to democracy and the ideal of justice as "innocent until proven guilty" after the attacks. Some of the increased dangers after the attacks include the profiling of Arab Americans, restricted access, persistent issues of privacy, and the idea of a national border controlled by surveillance that may be turning exclusivist."

From the Paper
In recent years, a controversy has arisen over the issue of whether or not motorcycle riders should be required by law to wear helmets. Those who favor such laws claim that helmets help to reduce the occurrence of head injuries in motorcycle accidents. As such, it is argued that the use of helmets helps in reducing the number of deaths and disabilities which are caused by such injuries. Those who are opposed to mandatory helmet laws claim that the motorcycle rider cannot see or hear properly while wearing a helmet. In addition, the opponents of laws mandating helmets argue that they have a right to freedom of choice in the matter. It is argued that the government has no right to legislate on this issue, and that any attempt to do so is an infringement of personal liberties.

At this time, the controversy over motorcycle helmets is ... "

Abstract
This paper describes some of the laws passed by Congress in order to ensure employees with fair employment opportunities and prohibit discrimination in the workplace. The paper lists the federal laws prohibiting discrimination and explains the various types of discrimination they are intended to guard against.

From the Paper
"Moreover, another type of discrimination is an equal pay and compensation discrimination. The Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA) requires that men and women be given equal pay for equal work in the same establishment. The jobs do not have to be identical, but they must be substantially equal. It is job content, not job titles, that determines whether jobs are substantially equal. Specifically, under EPA employers may not pay unequal wages to men and women who perform jobs that require substantially equal skill, effort and responsibility, and that are performed under similar working conditions within the same establishment. According to the statistics, in fiscal year 2002, EEOC received 1,256 charges of compensation discrimination. EEOC resolved 1,182 compensation discrimination charges in year 2002 and recovered $10.3 million in monetary benefits for charging parties and other aggrieved individuals (not including monetary benefits obtained through litigation)."
