Direct could be when a less qualified man could not be given a job over a more qualified woman whereas indirect discrimination is where a job has requirements that only one sex can fulfil. For example a job requirement might be for an applicant to be six feet tall. This is indirectly discriminating against women because very few are this tall. RACE RELATIONS ACT 1992: This act outlines laws that are in place to protect employees and job applicants against discrimination based on their race, colour, nationality, ethnic origin or nation origin. It means that if a black person applied for a job against a white person, the employer cannot hire the white person based on their colour preference, they must compare the skills and attributes to be brought to the business and evaluate fairly.
The Wagner Act established the right to unionize. Minorities in the workforce were ultimately affected by this act. As a result of this act, minorities were locked out of higher paying jobs. Minorities were denied union protection and benefits such as: medical care, full-time employment, and job security. Minorities were also legally barred from challenging their exclusion.

This definition, in relation to health and social care, could signify cultures, disabilities, age and genders which are all relevant in reference to any healthcare profession. For example, Field and Smith (2008) state that Britain is a multicultural country, and this has implications on how healthcare is delivered. Therefore, nurses and other healthcare professionals must be culturally sensitive to all clients and patients in their care. A Right, as defined by the Oxford Dictionary, is ‘an entitlement to have or do something’.

Diversity means being able to recognise that every single person is different in one way or another. It is important that we are able to value everyone’s differences and appreciate everyone’s views while living in a diverse society. The benefits of living in a diverse society is appreciating different cultures, different languages and being able to appreciate different variety of food which is an excellent way as there are many foods that originate in different countries. Such as Chinese, Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Jamaican, Italian, Mexican, Japanese and many more.
There are many advantages of a greater use of direct democracy. For example, everybody would be able to vote on every issue. This is good because it means everyone would be able to have a say, and would overall create a fairer system of governing. Also it means that we won’t be let down by our representatives, because in our current system our representatives are able to make decisions which many people would be against. As well as this, it would stop the need of things such as pressure groups, as everyone’s view is already taken into consideration.
Based on the information given in the case study, it is safe to assume that Louis Lane Cosmetics Company is only interested in hiring women for this particular position. Hence, men are being discriminated and excluded from the chance of being equally considered for this position on the bases of education and prior job experience.

The legislation made it unlawful for an employer to refuse to hire or discharge any person due to his race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Title VII of the act created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to implement the law. Today, I feel as though people still discriminate on both sides of employment opportunities. Many women are paid less than men who do the same exact work. Even though there is a law preventing this, it still happens.
