Orth v. Diner’s Spot Restaurant, 2000 AHRC 6 (CanLII) The prohibited grounds of this case are mostly family status because Ms. Orth is being deprived of her job due to her pregnancy which brings along the fact that she may miss some days of work in the process. It can also be argued that Gender plays a role because most men do not have the worry of needing to miss time from work due to an incoming baby. This is a societal obstacle that only women must face. Ms Orth found out she was pregnant on September 5, 1994 and the next day told her supervisor. 4 months later on January 13, 1995 Patti was fired due to a “ shortage of hours”.
Another thing that makes up Marilyn’s grief history is the fact that her son and husband are never really around. I believe that the fact that her family is not spending enough time with her or the fact that she barely ever sees them will threaten to complicate her grief work. Another thing that I think can threaten to complicate her current grief work is the time between the two lost. I don’t believe that Marilyn had enough time to cope with the death of her father properly before her son passed away. Matzo noted that, “the time for grief resolution has varied from peaks at 4 months to as long as 3 years (Matzo & Sherman, 2010, p 215).

Given that domestic violence results in $1.5 billion productivity losses to the economy yearly, we believe greater funding to charities such as The Benevolent Society would be an efficient allocation of resources, as they resolve domestic situations quickly and
Ruth would constantly avoid his pressing questions about his race and about her background, causing him to wonder about his own identity. This proved to be extra difficult while coping with divided feelings of existing in a racially stratified society as a biracial male. Although he felt a deep love and respect for his mother, he yearned for the two of them to be the same. James felt embarrassed by his mother’s white race because it was the source of his conflicting view of himself and where he fit into society. It was a constant reminder that he was different from his peers and their families who shared a common culture.
Due to his mother’s stern moral beliefs, he does not have much interest in sexual relations and has negative views on it. The third problem is Dunstan’s fear of being manipulated in a relationship because, of his mothers firm control over his father. Thus due to the hostile childhood his mother creates, Dunstan can never form a successful relationship in adulthood and this leads to a life of loneliness. Having trust is a major aspect in keeping a continuous relationship. Being trustful though, is a characteristic Dunstan Ramsay lacks and this results in weakened relationships.

Although, the struggle to balance traditional culture with the modern privileges is apparent. Traditionally Greek and Roman women are suppose to uphold the duty of having and raising children, but with newfound career paths many women are having difficult obtaining both. "As a result of this dilemma, in Greece there has been a rise in abortions by working women who are afraid that pregnancy may result in the loss of their job.
