According to the law case EEOC v. FREEMAN, the EEOC filed a law suit against Freeman and alleged the company’s hiring policy which includes criminal background and credit history checks, has a disparate impact on African-American, Hispanic, and male applicants.

When applying Erikson 's theory and his 8 stages it allowed me to assesess each individual on what stage they are currently in and the stages that there has been issues in achiving.
