Personally I have not had to experience of any type of discrimination, nor do I have family or friends that have been a victim of any type of discrimination. Now one of my favorite movies is a movie based off discrimination. The type of discrimination that was used in this movie is that Beckett had a deadly disease (AIDS Discrimination). The name of the movie is Philadelphia and it stars Tom Hanks (Andrew Beckett) and Denzel Washington (Joe Miller). Tom Hanks who played Andrew Beckett a senior associate at the largest corporate law firm in Philadelphia, he was on his way to becoming a partner until they found out he had AIDS. It started when one of the firm’s partners noticed a lesion on his forehead. Beckett was assigned to the firm’s newest and most important case, the same day one of the partners saw the lesion on his forehead. After that Beckett was out of the office for a couple of days, but he took the complaint home with him so he could work on it. Once he finished the complaint he took it back to the office leaving specific instruction for his assistant to file the complaint in court the following day. On the morning of Beckett was rushed to the ER due to bowel spasms and that’s when he received a frantic phone call from his assistant. The call was about the complaint, it was not on his desk were he left it and there was no copy of it on the hard drive. At the last minute the complaint was found and filed with the courts. The next day Beckett was called into the conference room for a meeting with all the partners, they fired him because of the incident that happened with the complaint, which was not the case. The real reason that Beckett was fired because of his diagnosis with AIDS and not the disappearance of the complaint. Beckett knew that it made no since on how and why the partners fired him, so he took it upon himself to

    Based on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 employers are not allowed to discriminate against a potential employee based on race, color, sex, religion, or national origin. In the Dunlap v. Tennessee Valley Authority case this title of the civil rights act was violated. An African American man named David Dunlap who gave almost the exact same answers as white candidates who got the job and who had 20 years of experience in boiler making was not chosen for any of the 10 positions available with the TVA. The issue is not only that he wasn’t hired but based on the score sheet he was highly discriminated against. When asked how many days he missed Dunlap told the employers that he never missed days unless sick or having a family emergency, two other candidates who just so happened to be white gave almost the exact same answer. On the score sheet for this question Dunlap was given a score of 3.7 while the other two potential employees were given scores of 4.2 and 5.5. Also when he was asked about how many accidents he had in the field he replied none and was given a low score but another candidate whom had at least two accidents was given a higher score than Dunlap. The issue at hand was that, his score sheet was heavily manipulated putting him in number 14 out of the 21 candidates that had applied. The top ten got hired.…

    In the furman v Georgia case discrimination played a large role in the verdict of Mr. Henry Furman. But before I get into that let me tell you a little something about the background of Henry Furman. Furman was a 26 year old African- American man who was mentally ill, poor, and a felon in the eyes of the Court. One night while a man name Micke William jr. and his wife and 5 children were asleep, Furman took it upon himself to break in their house and scrummage through their things hoping to find something to with him. To Furmans surprise Williams heard him in his kitchen and once Furman was recognized by William, Fuman charged towards the door in hopes of getting away, as we worked his way out the door Furman dropped the hand gun he was carrying, it triggered and shot right through William’s chest killing him on the spot. After this incident Furman was ordered by the judge to first seek treatment at the local hospital where he was diagnosed psychotic and later tried in court for robbery, 2nd degree murder, and sentenced to the death penalty.…

    There once was a time when common sense and compassion were used to decide what to do with issues, but now that there are laws put in place to ensure that legal, safety, and regulatory requirements are obeyed there are less issues. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is one of those regulations. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission enforces federal laws which make it illegal for any organization to discriminate against someone applying for the position or someone who is already an employee for reasons like their race, gender, color of skin, age, disability, or religion. (U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, 2011) This also ensures that a person who is claiming that they were discriminated against is not discriminated for that. These laws are applied to any type of work situations, like harassments, wages/benefits, hiring/firing, promotions, or any type of training. If a company discriminates based…

    I now know a lot about discrimination after watching many movies and reading many books. One of the movies that I watched was Ruby Bridges. In that movie ruby was discriminated at the “white” school just because of her race. One of the books I read was called “Mahatma Gandhi.” He was discriminated by the color of his skin. He even lead a march to stand up for himself and others but yet he was still judged. There are many different types of discrimination, here are what they are: Age, Disability, Equal Pay, Genetics, Natural Origin,…

    Anti-war marches and other protests, such as the ones organized by students for a Democratic Society, attracted a widening base of support over the years, which peaked in early 1968 after the successful Tet Offensive by North Vietnamese troops proved that war’s end was nowhere in sight. The protests began from the movement of the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War from peace activists. In addition, the U.S started bombing North Vietnam, which also sparked protesters. The anti-war movement grew into an unstoppable force, pressuring American leaders to reconsider the country's commitment; in communism or capitalism.…

    Discrimination is at the core of the film, but I also think that movie shows how one can go through the process of seeing a person as part of an out-group but can go through a process of removing them from that category and bring them into the in-group. Denzel Washington’s character Joe Miller evolves throughout the movie, from someone who does not understand much about AIDS and homosexuals, he is therefore very vocal about that he wants nothing to do with them. In the beginning of the movie, Miller views Beckett as the disease and something that he should further distance himself from. However, his character goes through a change when he starts to connect with Beckett and begins to see him as a human and the struggle that he is faced with.…
