A person with dementia is often frustrated, sometimes angry, and we need to realise this as part of their condition, and that we should not react in a way that would provide further anguish to them. They may also act inappropriately towards you or others. It can be difficult for them to understand that this is not appropriate, so the carer must diffuse the situation calmly and discreetly. A carer must always be understanding of the condition so they are able to provide the correct level of support. 4.1 Explain the difference between a reality orientation approach to interactions and a validation approach.
The first problem is Sam getting involved with an employee. The relationship can cause favoritism at times and lack of proper managing. The relationship is a set up for some type of discrimination and harassment. Sexual harassment is a major issue in the workplace. Title VII is the basis for discrimination law and judicial decisions….its basic purpose is to prohibit discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin (Jennings, 2006).
For example, if you fire an employee for complaining that you denied a promotion because of race, you could lose a retaliation lawsuit even if a judge or jury finds that your promotion decision was not discriminatory. (Nolo, 2014). The at-will employee agreement dictates that the employer doesn't need a reason to keep an employee, but many justifiable reasons exist
Groups that have a higher risk of becoming vulnerable include, children, people with learning and physical disabilities, people suffering with mental health problems, chronically ill people and the elderly. Age concern (1986) defines vulnerability in the elderly as ‘people in need of some support, help and/or advice in order to prevent personal or social deterioration or breakdown. Without this their level of dependency on others or their ability to manage their lives as they wish, might deteriorate to the point of necessitating their removal to institutional care, which is not their preferred option and might otherwise be prevented or postponed (page 11).’ This statement is proven in my clinical experience. Whilst on placement on a busy acute medical ward, at a local hospital, I helped to care for an elderly lady, whom I shall refer to as Mrs Berry. Mrs Berry was 87 and had been admitted to hospital following a fall
He has created a hostile work environment from her claims. Sam has violated the sex discrimination laws by not allowing Paula to transfer. There are many things that protect her in this case against employment discrimination. Pregnancy Discrimination is one that is violated by Sam denying Paula to transfer. This act is an amendment of the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The U.S. Supreme Court did acknowledge in its holding that tort liability might result from its decision but that such liability was often used as a guise or cover for gender discrimination. The position of many of the employers is that even if there were evidence linking the toxins to birth defects, the women took the jobs with knowledge about the risk and agreed to that risk. Any employer will have difficulty trying to reconcile antidiscrimination laws against risks of exposure as concerned by Sam, the Title VII bans sex-specific fetal-protection policies. The best an employer could do is to fully inform the women of the risk and not to act negligently. Congress has left this choice to the woman as hers to make, thus, Newcorp should allow Paula to make her own informed decision and allowed to transfer if she pleases (Net Industries,
Employment Simulations Tables LAW/531 Susie S Wilson University of Phoenix December 17, 2012 Donna Ross Employment Simulations Tables Any kind of discrimination in the workplace is illegal. Organizations must follow the guidelines set within their own policies to prevent all manner of discrimination.

The rules and guidelines of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 are imperative in recognizing, guarding, and avoiding litigation based on discrimination.

The Race Relations Act 1975: Made it illegal to treat any person less favourably than others because of race, skin colour, nationality or ethnic origin. Sex Discrimination Act: An act to render unlawful certain kinds of sex discrimination and discrimination based on people’s sex. The freedom act is an act of parliament of the United Kingdom that creates a public "right of access" to information held by public authorities. The human rights act means that you can defend your rights in the UK courts and that public organisations (including the Government, the Police and local councils) must treat everyone equally, with fairness, dignity and respect.
After centuries of giving value to the color of a person’s skin, attempting to push race aside now also pushes aside the struggles that many people have gone through because of the value placed on their skin. The need for colorblindness also implies there is something shameful about the way God made us and the culture we were born into, that we are to timid to speak about. Colorblindness has helped make race a taboo topic that people no longer want to discuss. And if you can’t talk about it, you can’t understand it, much less fix the racial problems that plague our society. We should explore our society and what we mean by race because if we do not know what we mean by race we cannot tackle institutional racism.
