She goes on about Affirmative action in the workplace and the views and opinions of all different kinds of people. Tatum believes in Affirmative action because of the many encounters and experiences she had witness and encountered. She goes on to say, ' Affirmative action is needed to lessen bias in the paid labor force because affirmative action is the only legal remedy in the United States for discrimination that does not require the victims (or someone with a stake in their welfare) to notice their condition and come forward with a grievance on their own behalf.'; (Tatum pp 123)

Bed, Bath and Beyond (BBBY) currently has $400 million more in cash than they need for ongoing growth and operations requirements. While the company is financially sound analysts and investors worry about the company’s capital structure decisions. Investors do not want to see that much cash on the books and worry that the current capital structure is not the most effective for the future. They prefer that BBBY change their capital structure by paying out excess cash and issuing debt. This could allow BBBY to improve their return on equity and raise earnings per share. Given the low interest rates available it seems like the perfect time for BBBY to add debt to its capital structure. Until now they

About a month after the loss of her husband, Audrey decided to return to the ranks of the employed. Still encumbered by her cast, she asked her son, Jim, to assist with a job search. In addition to a willingness to facilitate her search, Jim responded with a summation of her challenge and an inquiry into her plans. “You haven’t been a practicing beautician since leaving South Dakota and you haven’t even been employed since working in the shipyards during the war. What are you qualified to do? What kind of job are you looking for?”

She does not ask what the employees think before she implements anything. The employees therefore perceive Sally to be a poor manager who does not care about employees’ work condition and who buries herself ‘behind a high desk with her back to the door in an office two levels above’.

While Beauport, whose previous employer clearly discriminated against women in work and tended to place women in technical support positions after a brief term in lower brand management jobs, misperceived that Hy Dairies or even the whole industry would be just the same. In this case both Gilman and Beauport made similar mistakes by narrowly categorizing, homogenizing, and perceiving others into a certain group which is either similar or opposite to their own social identity.

1) If Blades used call options to hedge its Yen in payables, they are presented with 2 options. They can hedge at a lower exercise price (.00756) with a higher premium (2%); of they can hedge at a higher exercise price (.00792) with a lower premium (1.5%). Traditionally, the premiums are normally 1.5%, however due to recent uncertainty they have risen. This presents a tradeoff between an exercise price and premium, where as the exercise price rises, the premium falls, as it is cheaper because there is less likelihood of that exercise price being reached. Due to this, Blades should not change their strategy of hedging at a spot rate of no

Every establishment that she applies would rather hire her as a waitress because she is white and speaks English. When applying to Hearthside, Ehrenreich even downgrades herself in order to attain a job as a housekeeper. “I mutter about being woefully out of practice as a waitress, but he’s already on to the uniform” (Ehrenreich, 16). However, even though the author attempts to prove she would not make a good waitress, her employer is already stubborn and thinks that she is more worthy as a server as opposed to a housekeeper. So why did her boss make her a waitress when she clearly wanted to be a housekeeper? Her boss made her a waitress simply, because he used stereotypes to judge the author. Therefore, her boss only saw a white woman who was better equipped with serving skills even though Ehrenreich believed she had better housekeeping skills. Now, sadly if a fluent English speaking Hispanic applied to the same job, she would only be hired as a housekeeper. In fact, she would be rejected as a waitress for the same reason that the author couldn’t become a housekeeper; the of color her skin. In today’s society, when someone thinks of a hotel maid, they think of a Latin woman who isn’t fluent in English. It is this very stereotype that affects the type of job a low-wage job a person receives simply because of the color of their skin and not their personal abilities.

We often make guesses about the people by knowing their looks and name. He claimed that most of the time those guesses are right and without those guesses we can’t survive. But the stereotyping often encourages prejudiced nature and biasing at workplace. Many male candidates are rejected for front office interviews at service industries. For example in airline industry the women are preferred over men for front office responsibilities. Similarly the ‘window workers’ at McDonald are often females (Gustavsson, 2005). Similarly the males are preferred over females in sales job because people think that more physical stamina are required in the sales job. Paul was in favor of stereotyping but in my opinion the stereotyping at workplace promotes prejudice behavior. Paul didn’t highlight the stereotyping at workplace and its effect on different genders. Paul tried to look the stereotyping from social prospective but the stereotyping at workplace has set certain different standards for males and females. In his persuasive speech Paul has presented his views that stereotyping necessary to deal with daily encounters but he didn’t give any example how stereotyping promotes biasing at workplace. It is true that stereotyping helps in categorization in social life and categorization can be the quickest and most efficient way of processing the information. Categorization also help in understanding the social world and predict the behaviors of group members (Araya, 2003). Stereotyping can help in categorization but it can’t be beneficial in this modern

b. Discrimination is performing actions that do not allow other people different from either your region, religion, or gender to have the same rights as you do.
