The other effect of the discriminatory judicial system is that non-whites are usually targeted by the system in an unfair manner.

For instance, Latinos are usually and in certain instances explicitly singled out for the process of immigration enforcement. Close to ninety-four percent of all the illegal immigrants who are arrested by the INS are of Mexican origin. The Immigration and Naturalization Service itself however states that only about fifty four percent of all the illegal immigrants are of Mexican origin (Defending Justice,2005) .

After the 9/11 attacks, the Bush Administration made it absolutely possible for all the police departments and federal agencies to infringe on the civil liberties as well as civil rights of Muslim, Arab as well as South Asian Immigrants (NAKASEC, 2003). Some of the new policies are; conducting of arrests and interrogations, indiscriminate and unwarranted raids as well as secret detentions.

Discrimination in Workforce
Gender discrimination at work place means the way to behave with the employees in such a way that is to prefer one employee to other due to gender biasness. All over the world, this disparity among the men and women is condemned but still present (Mooney, 2012). One of the research conducted at the U.S. shows that the women get lower compensation than the men do, for the same working hours per week. Women earn only 84.6% of what men earn for the same work and same working hours. This preferential treatment among the employees causes de-motivation to excel in the office environment. There are several ways of gender discrimination at work place (Fox & Lituchy, 2012).

According to the feminist theory, it can be a direct discrimination, in which men get more pay and women get lesser payment even though they both have same academic qualification, skills and…...

In the case considered, there are two possibilities for the award of the contract: The first is that there may have been no companies on the applicant list that met the minority standards. The second is that non-minority companies far outweighed their minority counterparts in the level of service that would be provided.
In the first case, the deontological viewpoint would not have been applicable, as there were no companies available to meet the minority standards. The ethical argument might then be that, all persons should have an equal right to receive the contract, and be chosen on merit. The second case could then have been decided on the grounds of a utilitarian approach. Quality of service takes precedence over human rights considerations.

The utilitarian viewpoint also considers the importance of quality of the specific service involved, as well as the setting and safety levels promoted by the service. In an…...

Discrimination in the Fire Service
Over time, nearly every profession once considered the exclusive province of men (and in the case of the United States, white men) has gradually been made accessible to minorities, whether through practical necessity, changing cultural standards, or court orders. However, this process has proceeded unevenly, so that even now there remains institutionalized discrimination which serves to preclude women and other minorities from the same opportunities as white men, and one of the areas where this can be seen most clearly is the case of the fire service, where women and other minorities have been systematically denied employment due to inherently discriminatory testing and evaluation practices. What makes the fire service one of the more interesting sites of workplace discrimination, however, is not just the fact that women and other minorities have been denied employment or promotion, but that certain programs intended to do away with this…...

Discrimination against the elderly, against pregnant women, against women with children, against people of color are all prohibited under the law.

But domestic violence has not been eliminated. Nor have other discriminatory traditions, such as polygamy. "Although the practice of polygamy is declining, it continues to be a threat to women, as it undermines a woman's dignity, perpetuates notions of male dominance, and above all creates domestic environments where women become vulnerable to abuse because they are in the difficult position of agreeing to their husbands' marriage or asking for divorce." Under the CEDAW, the United Nations have increased their efforts to reduce polygamy and in their report, stated: "Polygamous marriage contravenes a woman's right to equality with men and can have such serious emotional and financial consequences for her and her dependents that such marriages ought to be discouraged and prohibited."

Discrimination involves classifying people into different groups and giving the members of each group distinct and typically unequal treatments and rights (Wikipedia, 2003). The criteria defining the groups determine the type of discrimination. Use of the term implies that the factors on which the discrimination is based are intrinsically irrelevant to the decision being made. Typically, the discriminator views himself as superior to the injured group. The effects of discrimination are broad. Slow or unhelpful retail service, racial slurs, denial of employment and housing, hate crimes and genocide are all examples of discrimination. This paper will discuss a very specific example of discrimination -- discrimination against Arabs in the United States as a result of the tragic terrorist events on September 11, 2001.

Discrimination
There are many different types of discrimination that exist in the labor market today. There is ethnic discrimination as well as other discrimination like gender discrimination. Kenneth Arrow, the Nobel Prize winner, defined discrimination as "the valuation in the market place of personal characteristics of the worker that are unrelated to productivity" (Anonymous). Harassment can also be racial in nature or can be gender oriented. Harassment in the labor market would be the act of tormenting someone by continued and persistent criticism and attacks. Discrimination however is the unfair treatment given to people or group on the basis of prejudice.

An organization that practice peer reinforcement tends to be successful since this helps in encouraging the employees in speaking up their minds whenever they witness any kind of harassment within the organization. Most Organizations have lost their works because of age discrimination among the workers in the working place, however, other employees tend not to be the target of the discrimination, but they might be the next targeted group who do not want to work for a discriminatory organization. When employees leave the company for another company, it is evidently true that the productivity level will go down therefore making the company to lose the potentials of the employees against competitors.

Age discrimination can impact the company by damaging the productivity level. The knowledge of age discrimination by the employees can create an environment which is negative along with company management that has a poor perception causing a reduction in the…...

Discrimination
The mentioned acts have a common thread of setting boundaries for discrimination in the workplace. Each act makes illegal discrimination in the workplace on the basis of specific personal traits. In a sense, most of the acts are built on the framework of Title VII of the Civil ights Act of 1964, and they expand on that act's protections. Title VII banned discrimination on the basis of gender, race, religion, color or national origin (EEOC, 2014). The Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 offers protections to women as an amendment to Title VII protections against sex discrimination. This act extends those protections to discrimination on the basis of pregnancy. The age acts work to prohibit discrimination on the basis of age, while the Americans with Disabilities Act works to prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability, and sets boundaries for how and when disabilities can be factored into consideration for employment.

Discrimination at the Lumber Yard
Facts:

A job that entails the act of heavy physical lifting, by virtue of its very nature as well as its advertised job description is publicized in the 'help wanted' section of the local paper. Few, if any, other physical or educational qualifications are needed for the job. A man of forty-five who is visibly out of shape applies for the laboring position. During the initial employment interview, the man advised of his lack of physical qualifications and fitness for the occupation because of his age and apparently poor constitution, which could make his work at the job impossible at worst and at best a continuous danger to himself and to others. Thus, the man is directed to a potential position in customer service at the company, if only he strives makes his appearance more professional for that initial interview.

Research carried out shows that racism and discrimination exists and they will continue to exist given that human beings are the one on universe and there happens to be nothing that is more common than feeling the remarkable needs of human beings unless the needs of people are hold, therefore, some individuals will always try to bring one another down. The author depicts racism and discrimination as a thing that will forever exist because there happens to be an "us" and a "them" that makes human beings to be always suspicion of the unknown groups who are outside of one's own.

This is to say that, in a theoretical regard, ethnic prejudices and religious hatred may not even enter into some
of the broader economic patterns. Instead, in such instances, this is a
form of economic opportunism which, not unlike America's categorical
exploitation of Mexican labor, has manifested as a devastating form of
economic discrimination.
The results are indeed quite damaging, evidence suggests, to the
Indian population of the Emirates, which has not experienced the type of
wholesale economic elevation that has marked the nation as a whole. This
is especially true today, as global recession leaves this oft-mistreated
group to bear the brunt of negative trends such as low wages, poor labor
conditions and unemployment. As a result, "Indians and other expatriates
in the UAE are increasingly becoming susceptible to the scourge of
depression, research has shown. The prime causes are discrimination at the
workplace, longer working hours, home-sickness, and the chaotic state of
peak-hour traffic." (INP, 1) These conditions are part of a…...

At the same time, there are limits in time for filing of the suit and the first of these is that the suit must be filed within 180 days from the date of violation. This period is extended to 300 days if the charge is also covered by the state or local anti-discrimination law. For charges under ADEA, only the state limits are valid, and this may be 300 days. For the Equal Pay Act, there is no requirement for filing charges with the EEOC to be able to go to the court. Whenever any discrimination is suspected, it is best to directly approach EEOC. In addition to the laws listed above, many states and areas have anti-discrimination laws, and agencies to enforce them.
These are generally referred to as "Fair Employment Practice Agencies" by EEOC. They act in co-ordination with EEOC for duplication of effort to be avoided. This…...

This is a difficult question to answer.  In the era of COVID-19, when personal interactions with people are limited, especially with people outside of your immediate social group, being an agent of social change is more difficult than it is in other times.  That is because social change agents have to be able to influence people.  While some of that can be accomplished in a virtual environment, hence the popularity of internet “influencers,” that type of influence is simply not going to be enough to reach some people.  People tend to go to places on the internet....

In turn-of-the-century America, there were some major civil rights advances for some groups, while other groups saw no advances in their civil rights and even saw advances that had been made begin to erode.  The time period was well after the end of the Reconstruction era and the beginning of Jim Crow laws, the rise of the suffragette movement, and a continued assault on rights for Native Americans.  There was also a significant increase in anti-Asian discrimination. Here are some suggested titles and thesis statements for an essay about civil rights in this era.
