They should have more communication in each other.

If Mr. DoeDoe chooses not to hire Mary, one of the first issues to be questioned is; was she not hired because she is female? Title VII of the civil Rights Act of 1964 states that an employer cannot base their decision to hire or not hire a person based on their race, color, religion, sex or national origin (Cheeseman, pg 802). Since Mary is a female up against a male for higher position than she currently holds, she can claim that Mr. DoeDoe did not promote her because she is a woman. Mr. DoeDoe would have to somehow prove that Mr. Jones is indeed more qualified for the
Ginia Bellafante spoke in Time Magazine, “if the women’s movement were still useful, it would have something useful to say; it’s dead because it has won” (Bellafante) Progress since the 60’s and 70’s is visible, but statistics verify that women have a long way to go. Domestic violence is a persistent problem; women still fight to maintain reproductive rights, and earn only seventy-five percent of the salary that men receive to perform the same work. Many claim that there is no longer any reason for feminism, despite all this information. Is feminism dead in today’s society? One of the main reasons feminism has lost supporters is that business have worked to over-power the image that represents feminists.
”I think the administration is wrong in this situation, and I don’t want this to happen to other people.” The five editors, who said their decision was unanimous, said Spies’ blame was misplaced, in both targeting the administration, and believing that it was a dress code issue. They also offered her an opportunity to include the photo in the yearbook, just not as her senior photo. “If she (Spies) chooses to, the picture will run as her senior ad, not her senior portrait,” Trujillo said. Despite the clarification from her peers into how and why the decision was made, a meeting Spies initiated between herself, her mother, and the school’s principal, Diane Lashinsky, was held today as planned. “The editors all turned their backs on me and changed their minds,” she told the Herald.
Lowry, however, stated that she was never given a choice, and subsequently requested a transfer to another department. Walmart then gave her 90 days to find another job within the company, and human resources officials told her that they would have to discuss “next steps” if she couldn’t in time – meaning she would be fired. I found this to be an interesting response to Lowry’s complaint, and I am surprised that Walmart would take such a powerful stance against someone who is trying to reveal potential ethics issues within the company, especially at a time when Walmart was being scrutinized for their firing of marketing executive Julie Roehm for reportedly violating the company’s code of ethics by accepting gifts from vendors and for having an affair with a subordinate, both of which she denies. In a follow-up article in October (Businessweek: Wal-Mart Whistleblower Lands a Job), Businessweek reported that she found a job after 4 months of looking and 30 applications to in-house
Along with the hiring problems, the corporation also has a problem with promotions. It appears that the company only promotes based on convenience. The report that Pamela Gillis had made indicated that the company “look[ed] like a stone wall for women and minority professionals.” The case study also points out a particular event where a young woman with an accounting degree was hired in and almost forced to be a data entry clerk. The reasoning for this was because the company’s application for new hire form was discriminatory towards applicants with higher education. Pamela had appeared to do trend analysis in her report showing that there was a three year turnover rate among female and black employees.
Henrik Ibsen depicts how the conscious and subconscious motives and desires are obtained. Kristine Linde is a woman who has had to give up her dreams due to circumstances beyond her control. She was once in love but because her mother “was bedridden and helpless”and she “had to provide for two younger brothers”(Ibsen, 2011, p. 556) she was forced to marry for convenience of the situation. We can tell this has made her look at life in a more realistic and wise view than that of her friend Mrs Nora Helmer the main character. Mrs Linde has had to work hard and was not afforded love and children which she longed to have.
The decisions she makes shows us, her desire to improve health and education level, but to also be finally making something out of herself other than just a house wife. These changes she is going through tells us her trying to gain her own independence. The reason for change in Norma’s life is the return of her husband Leroy. After 14 year of trucking Leroy’s injury causes him to come back home permanently, which causes unhappiness to Norma, leading her to say, “In some ways, a woman prefers a man who wonders”(Mason 76).
