The ruling, while another defeat for segregation in law, did not have an immediate impact. The Supreme Court in this case played a large part in being responsible for how long it took to secure better status for blacks. In 1946, Truman did establish a civil rights committee whose task was to examine violence against African Americans within America itself. This committee was filled with known liberals who Truman knew would produce a report that would and should shock mainstream America.

Before 2002, this was never done and that is what lead to a lot of these big corporations downfall. After SOX became in affect, it made it almost impossible for officers of these major corporations to “play stupid”.

With the intent of reducing discrimination against freed slaves the government passed the Civil Rights Act of 1875. It was eighty years later that another civil rights movement would stir in the United States. Western society was changing its ideology that segregation based on race was acceptable to the belief that everyone has inherent human rights.

In this case the courts realized that even though the harassment was not all based on race, it was caused by their bias against his religion. All anti-harassment policies should include language prohibiting harassment on the basis of all protected categories and provide an easy to use complaint
This was the first audit that ZZZZ Best had as a public company and the mistake involved the inspection of the insurance restoration sites. Mr. Greenspan had talked with Tom Padgett, and even though Mr. Padgett confirmed the insurance contracts were real and showed proper documents to back them up, Mr. Greenspan never actually inspected any of the actual insurance restoration sites.

The second mistake involved Ernst & Whinney, which was the auditor for ZZZZ Best after Greenspan was let go.

Discrimination was a very real and ugly issue in years leading up to the war as well as early
After having to prove himself to fight his way into power, the first order of business he focused on was bringing order to his country because after many years of war the nation was in a delicate state.
