Gorard found that the gender gap in achievement was stable from 1975 up until 1988 when it increased rapidly. This was when GCSE and with it coursework was introduced. Mitsos and Browne support the view that GCSE’s favoured girls as they were more successful in coursework due to the fact that girls are seen to be more careful with their work, more likely to spend longer on their work and meet deadlines. However, Ellwood argues that although coursework has had some influence, exams themselves have a greater influence in the final grade. Therefore this does not create a significant gap between gender differences.
However if the behaviour is judged as immoral such as joining others in cheating there is less evidence of conformity as the costs are perceived as greater. Kohlberg found that individuals who are able to resist pressure to conform tend to be more morally advanced. Individuals can resist obedience if they have an ally who also opposes the authority figure. In Milgram’s study when the participant was given two allies that refused to continue giving shocks, only 10% of participants continued to the 450 volts shock level. Milgram claims that the presence of allies who resist an authority figure makes individuals more confident in their ability to do the same.
Becoming a CNA was easy for Daphne, but the career had its disadvantages. When after one year as a CNA, in a nursing home, she was accused of an act she did not commit. With an abuse offense behind her license, she was terminated and had to find another job. Always being written up for the negative things that take place on the job is another obstacle Daphne faced. Daphne had been written up and reported several times for having to leave the job to get to her kids for whatever reasons.
I do not feel the Toy Company has violated any employee rights because of the four days on four days off schedule that has been implemented. The employee cannot prove we made the work environment so intolerable to his or her religious beliefs. In the case of Duffy v.

How did the district court err in applying this standard?

According to an interview made by Brayton Bowen, Roberts explained how she thought the treatment given to her was not the treatment a white male would have received in the same circumstances (Bowen, 2002). Continuing, she mentions an incident where an employee commented: “I never thought I’d see the day a black woman would have an office in finance.” As a black woman, Roberts worked hard throughout her life to prove she was capable of doing the same or a better job than most men or women of any race. She obviously believed it was time to not put up with it anymore. “My grandmother used to say ‘if you don’t have anything else at the end of the day, be able to look in the mirror and look at yourself and respect yourself, and what you’ve done. And if you can’t do that, then you’ve done something wrong.” These principles allowed Roberts to have the strength to take a large corporation like Texaco to court.
The fourth hypothesis claims competence will have a greater effect on ratings of hireability, desirability, and utility for female-typed jobs than male-type jobs (hypothesis 4). In female-type jobs, competence would hold a greater significance for attractive candidates, and in male-type jobs competence would not make a difference for attractive candidates (hypothesis 5). This study used a correlational experiment design. While the relationships between the variables can be implied, they do not prove causality. There were several independent variables used: gender (male/female), attractiveness (high/moderate), competence (high/moderate, given as being based on DAT5 test scores), job sex-type (male/female), and the hierarchical status of the position (managerial/non-managerial).
