The facts in the case of Thompson V North American Stainless, LP 562 U.S._ (2011) are fairly straightforward. The petitioner in this case, Eric Thompson, was seemingly fired from his job at North American Stainless (NAS) because his fiancée, Miriam Regalado filed a sexual discrimination charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). His suit was filed under Title VII claiming that his dismissal was retaliation for his fiancée’s charge. (Pagnattaro, Cahoy, Magid, Reed, & Shedd, n.d.)…

The Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VII, forbids “an employer to … discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual’s … sex.” Civil Rights Act, 1964. In Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson, the court held that “a plaintiff may establish a violation of Title VII by proving that discrimination based on sex has created a hostile or abusive work environment.” Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson (US 1986). A hostile work environment is created when the environment at work creates anxiety so severe as to result in an alteration of the terms and conditions of employment. Hailey Course Pack, p. 140. The burden to prove such an environment was created rests on the plaintiff. The plaintiff must prove that they belong to a protected class; were subject to unwelcomed harassment; the harassment is based on sex, meaning it is not happening to members of the opposite sex; and the harassment alters the conditions of employment. Hailey Course Pack, p. 140. In this case, the court will evaluate whether Black has sufficient evidence to prove her claim of a hostile work environment.…

STATEMENT OF FACTS: Sheila White interviewed with Marvin Brown and obtained a job as a “track laborer” with Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Company. Shortly after her hire date, however, she assumed forklift operator duties. This new assignment still fell under the “track laborer” position description, and White occasionally performed those duties although her primary responsibility was operating the forklift. Three months into her new job, White complained to the company that her immediate supervisor was sexually harassing her on the job. He was temporarily suspended and required to attend sexual harassment training. White was then informed that she was being reassigned to track labor duties only. White filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) claiming that the job reassignment was in retaliation for her sexual harassment complaint.…

Lisa Benton felt like she was put behind the eight-ball from the start in reference to her relationship with her bosses, Deborah Linton and Ron Scoville. According to a research article, “Are Your Subordinates Setting You Up to Fail?” impressions and expectations made in the first five days are very predictive to what the working relationship will look like for the following weeks and even months to come. In Benton’s case, this seems to have happened in the first five minutes. After initial meetings with Linton and Scoville, they both mentioned that they were not fond or impressed by Harvard MBAs, and Benton left the meetings feeling like they were disinterested in her.…
Everything is possible. Charles F. Kettering said that “Nothing ever built to touch the skies unless some man dreamed that it should, some man believed that it could, and some man willed that it must.” Everything is possible in each of our lives; we simply have to sense it, see it and act upon it. After all, where would we be without men like Thomas Edison who believed there could be light, saw the vision in his mind and acted upon everything that was possible for him? Emily Dickinson phrased it best in her classic ode “Touch the Skies:”…
I have recently completed my research work based on American Dream. The title of the research is “Evolution of American Dream: A Comparative Analysis of Fitzgerald, Thompson and Walls”. This study area deals with American Dream notion of Americans over eighty five years’ time span; starting from 1920 and ending in early 21st Century. I would admit this that while studying American history I was startled to know about problems of American society in this time period. It was bewildering journey for me to find out America as a nation. For common young Pakistani, America symbolizes as a perfect land of opportunities, where rags to riches could be accomplished. However while reading American history it was not artistically that perfect land and beautiful as once I imagined.…
