However, if it is proven their current practices are not an issue, they want to keep them in place. Disparate impact is defined as a theory of liability that prohibits an employer from using a facially neutral employment practice that has an unjustified adverse impact on members of a protected class. Based on this definition and the statistical evidence shown through flow and concentration analysis, Tanlgewood’s hiring practices clearly have an adverse impact. Using the 4/5th ratio, there is a clear underutilization of minorities. The applicant flow sheet was very revealing.
(b) Should legislation and codes of practice not be followed possible consequences could be:- Individuals: Would not receive the care in a person-centred way. This in turn could have a detrimental effect on their well-being, self-esteem and their dignity. Social Care Worker: It is a legal requirement to implement policies and procedures in accordance with legislation and is part of contractual agreements to work. The consequences of not following procedures can affect just one individual or an entire team of social workers. (c) Inclusive Practice: This can demonstrate, that although we are all unique and have different needs, we are not
Neofunctionalism is essentially a separate theory all together from structural functionalism. Neofunctionalism states that social structures mold individual behavior, ideas can be rational or irrational, and individuals in nature are conflicted. Furthermore, neofunctionalism argues that structural functionalism is too conservative because it hinders societal progress and is too concerned with the collective conscience. Parson theorized society could only be understood when the system was whole. If the system was missing part or parts, the society could not be understood.
Define and identify the doctrine which could be used to find them liable. The case doesn’t say who the superior on duty was so I would have to say the aides themselves are liable for their own actions since they are there to supervise themselves. I would also have to hold the company liable since they did not have their staff properly supervised. The
The tort of negligence is a term that escapes complete definition. Torts of negligence are breaches of duty that results to injury to another person to whom the duty breached is owed. Like all other torts, the requirements for this are duty, breach of duty by the defendant, causation and injury. It includes carelessness and lack of foresight; however the significance of negligence in tort is much broader. In law, it is defined as the “omission to do something which a reasonable man, guided upon those considerations which ordinarily regulate the conduct of human affairs, would do, or something which a prudent and reasonable man would not do.” (Alderson, 1856) [Blyth v Birmingham Waterworks Co.] [1856] in this essay I will discuss the essential ingredients that make up the tort of negligence.
All crime is deviant but not all deviance is crime. Becker stated; “Social groups create deviance by making rules whose infraction constitutes deviance and by applying those rules to particular people and labelling them as outsiders. From this point of view deviance is not a quality of the act a person commits, but rather a consequence of
Importance of Social Bonds By definition exhibiting a behavior that breaks a norm, or rule, placed upon you by society, your situation, or those around you, is deviant. The same behavior could be considered deviant for one person and not another. It depends upon the person in the situation, when and where it’s taking place, and those around who know what’s happening. There are two major viewpoints of deviance, each having many theories to explain it. The humanist approach doesn’t describe deviance as a behavior, rather defining it by the reaction and it being a subjective experience.
It can be argued from the anarchist perspective that the state is an oppressive body, which undermines human reason and the capacity for self governance. Laws do not solve the problem, rather they make individuals dependant on outside authorities, to regulate out lives and provide answers for problems that may arise. Therefore, we lose our reason and ability to think for ourselves, we lose out natural autonomy. Thus a state has the opportunity to put a moral code upon us which we cannot question as we become dependant on the rules of the state. Godwin argued that human beings are naturally rational and have the
Criticisms of functionalism focus on its acceptance and rationalization of social inequality and societal evils. Since functionalism holds that all aspects of society are necessary, human rights issues like poverty, hunger, slavery, and genocide must be accounted for. Critics suggest that functionalism can be used as a rationalization of such issues. The perspective is also criticized for its lack of testability, which is critical for the upholding of any social science theory. Several questions stand against its reliability.
It seems to be a self-explanatory word in our life, but the definition of responsibility is usually ignored by people. Is the definition of responsibility only applies to individuals? Of course not. It can also applies to groups or corporations, but there it is significantly different from it for individuals. What if responsibility comes to the society as a whole?
