Discrimination in the Workplace
Design: Topical
Introduction:
Attention Getter How many in here can truly be honest, and say that they have judged or made a rough assumption about someone before even speaking to them? Well, I have.
Adapt to Self It’s a natural reaction and thought process that goes on in my brain and yours without us even noticing.
Adapt to Audience Like our first day of class for this course when we had to network amongst each other, I’m sure we already had an idea concocted of what the other person was going to be like before they even mentioned their name. I know did.
Credibility Statement Ralph W. Sockman, once acknowledged as the best protestant preacher in the U.S. once said, “The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority.”
Preview The federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VII (7), prohibits employers from discriminating against job seekers. It also protects discrimination against employees on the basis of race, religion, sex, pregnancy and nationality. This morning I will be informing, specifically about discrimination against race, religion, and gender in the work place, and as to whether discrimination still exists.
Transition (So let me begin by defining how the process of discrimination starts within the individual)
Body I. The Common process in discrimination at the individual level A. This figure explains how cognitive and affective factors operate independently and together to stimulate discrimination. 1) Social Categorization is the groupings of persons in a manner of which is meaningful to the subject. 2) General evaluative bias is the personal preference of the subject (in this case being race, religion, or gender) 3) Cognitive bias is a pattern in judgment or an illogical interpretation, or what is generally called irrationality. 4) General affective reactions is how people react in terms of evaluations 5) Stereotyping
