Abstract
This paper touches on several simple examples of workplace discrimination based on religion. It shows that with the continued expansion of the global market, situations of discrimination will continue to grow in difficulty. Employers must ensure they remain informed about changes in laws and create policies to comply with these laws. The paper suggests that training should be conducted on a continual basis to make managers, supervisors, and employees aware of discriminatory practices.

From the Paper
"The EEOC is available to provide information and answer questions on how to best deal with workplace discrimination. Their website has a wealth of information translated into a simpler language than provided by laws and court examples. The EEOC also conducts training and can provide a format that is appropriate for all businesses. Small businesses face unique challenges that have warranted establishing Small Business Liaisons available to assist with compliance of laws."

The paper examines how there is no federal law that prohibits discrimination against homosexuals in the workplace, however many states have laws against such discrimination.

From the Paper
"Although the federal government has been slow to act regarding federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation, there are several state and local governments that have legislation that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation. In fact, at least 12 states and Washington, D.C. have laws that ban discrimination based on sexual orientation (Horvath & Ryan 2003). In addition, there is a executive order that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation within the federal government (Sexual Orientation Discrimination in the Workplace)."

Abstract
The paper discusses the lack of progress in preventing religious discrimination in schools or throughout the social order. The paper explains that this is because there is a subjective attitude regarding what can be classified as religious discrimination; even in the United States House of Representatives some believe that certain forms of religious discrimination are acceptable, while the highest court demands that the separation of church and state be universal law. The paper shows how the methods of limiting such discrimination are few and ineffective, preventing deterrence from discrimination on a large scale.
From the Paper
"Discrimination has been an issue that has existed since the beginning of society in the United States in one form or another. Racial discrimination and discrimination based on gender have been the most discussed forms of discriminatory practices since the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. Religious discrimination has also been of primary concern throughout society, especially in relation to those of religious faiths other than Christianity. This is perhaps because the founders of the nation supported this religious philosophy and the bulk of Americans have continued to practice the Christian faith as well. Yet, the founding fathers believed that public education was not the place in which religion should guide instruction. This was perhaps because education, as an unwritten rule, requires that the student's mind be open to new ideas and concepts that may be different than his or her social norms. Therefore, the separation of church and state became a guiding principle in the public school system."

Abstract
The writer of this well-researched paper contends and explains why discrimination in the workforce is a growing problem that has affected thousands of organizations, large and small operating in today's global marketplace. This paper defines discrimination in the workplace as any type of behavior, action, belief, value or attitude that impacts another individual in a negative manner, that is based on one's racial identity, gender, sex, disability status, age or some other personal factor. This paper cites the many laws and acts that have been enacted to protect individuals from various forms discrimination. The most basic law that protects employees from discrimination on the job is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits job discrimination on the basis of race, skin color, age, gender, religious belief or national origin. The paper also details the impact of affirmative action in the workplace. Depending on the organization, affirmative action is necessary in an environment where one population or subgroup of people has been continually underrepresented or disadvantaged. This paper analyzes the impact these laws have on human resource departments. Human resource departments have an obligation under the law to inform all employees of their legal rights relating to discrimination in the workplace.

From the Paper
"Affirmative action may be necessary in an employment environment where one population or subgroup of people has been continually underrepresented or disadvantaged. It truly depends on the organization. It can be a means of protecting certain classes or groups of people and ensuring that everyone in the workplace is afforded the same access to employment and the same employment opportunities. It is not designed to be a form of reverse discrimination. There is adequate evidence suggesting that discrimination still exists in the workplace. Until discrimination is completely abolished and is no longer an issue, a need for affirmative action programs and other programs geared toward eliminating inequities continues."

Abstract
The writer of this paper addresses this sensitive issue which has come to light more due to the globalization of many companies. The paper examines different forms of discrimination such as race, sex, national origin, religion, age and disability. It also looks at manners in which one can be discriminated against.
From the Paper
"With the 21st century workplace ahead of us and a country full of diversity surrounding us, the changing ethnic, racial, age, and gender composition of the workforce will become more evident in the years to come. This modern workplace will bring in a group of diverse employees to accompany tighter labor markets and changing worker demographics. These changes in the modern workplace will have important implications for employers across the country. ?High skills and knowledge are important to American firms competing in a global economy.? (Dresser, 1996) As always, the best measure of a employee or potential employee is skills and knowledge. But we all know that it doesn?t always work that way. And, while the U.S. workforce as a whole has a higher educational level than ever, some problems evolving in the modern workplace are clear; discrimination is part of the problem. All the greater knowledge and skills level the United States is welcoming is coming to employers in all new packages."

Abstract
The paper examines how, when people discuss gender relations, specifically gender discrimination in the Canadian workplace, they usually conduct their discussion on the presumption that there are only two genders - male and female. The writer proposes that gender relations have become much more complex than this, and the paradigm of just two, opposite genders is increasingly being challenged. The paper analyses some of the repercussions of this aspect of gender relations in the Canadian workplace. There is a rising tide of gender activists who are questioning the binary paradigms that pervade our thinking about gender relations, e.g. man OR woman, gay OR straight, etc.

Abstract
This paper examines the problems of sexism and racism in the workplace. The paper explores methods how to deal with these issues when they occur. The paper contends that, in order to know how to deal with these problems, one needs to understand the mechanisms at work in society as a whole and in the workplace, in particular, that often allow discrimination to exist.
From the Paper
"It is obvious that in today?s world, discrimination of many kinds exists and the word itself carries negative connotations. But it wasn?t long ago that ?discrimination? had a positive meaning, such as defining an individual as having discriminating taste. Discrimination is an unfair practice, whether it is against an individual, a group, a religion, a sex, a race or ethnicity. Today, many people contend with unfair practices in the workplace, particularly when it comes to gender or race. Racism and sexism are two of the major forms of discrimination that are evident in the work place. And at no time, or in any place, is discrimination an acceptable practice."

Abstract
In this paper the causes of the different types of discrimination are explored. Unconscious discrimination and its effects on both men and women are discussed. Furthermore, the detrimental effects on the women caused by discrimination is also analyzed, highlighting the phenomenon of the glass ceiling.
From the Paper
"Discrimination against women in the workplace is exhibited in a variety of ways, ranging from the sexual harassment to the exclusion of women from "the old boys? club" where major decisions are made. Thus, in spite of the massive entry of women in the workplace and the increasing numbers of women in mid-level managerial positions, top-level positions remain as elusive to women today as they were more than a decade ago. Working in a world dominated by male decision-makers and their established practices, women encounter a variety of barriers impeding their surge to the top of their careers. Few women have managed to shatter the "glass ceiling"?the concept used to describe the barriers blocking women from top-level positions. The effects of the discrimination on women are manifested in the erosion of their identity and the desexualization of successful women in order to "fit in" with their male counterparts. The psychological effects of discrimination on individual women have serious sociological repercussions: women with feminine attributes leave their work, leaving desexualized women to serve as role models for female newcomers, thus perpetuating the cycle of male domination and discrimination."

Abstract
This paper examines how, despite laws in place against discrimination, inequality still exists in the workplace through race and gender. It begins by looking at the historical background of the laws which are in place to protect workers. It then looks at specific examples of race and gender discrimination and at the legal machinery available to fight such occurrences. It presents arguments for anti-discrimination laws and compares the differences between gender and racial discrimination.
From the Paper
"In many states, racial discrimination was the law of the land, and it was accepted or endured as a fact of social life even in regions that rejected official segregation and other discriminatory laws. As for what is now called gender discrimination, it was so taken for granted that for most people the concept hardly existed. The very presence of a woman in the workplace was regarded as, in a way, temporary, "until she got married," or it was due to some special contingency. Most working women were found in occupations regarded as female, such as secretarial work. Sexual jokes, innuendoes, or pressures were limited only by the goodwill of male coworkers."
