...Assignment #5 – Dr. Judie Bucholz HRM 533- Total Rewards June 12, 2011 1. Is there a reasonable basis for believing that the company is discriminating against women? If so, explain what it is and if not, explain why not. I do believe that there is a reasonable basis for believing that Consolidated Chicken is discriminating against women because of the discrepancy that Sam found between the pay of women and men who performed the exact same job in the plant. He found that the women made only about 60% of what the men earned. He also discovered that while all of the office jobs were occupied by women, their pay was almost at the bottom of the pay grade. In the case of the office jobs, it may be difficult to claim discrimination because all of the pay is low and there are not any men in the area to which pay can be compared. The Equal Pay Act of 1963 (DON’T KNOW HOW TO CITE LAW) indicates that compensation discrimination can only be applied to jobs that are within the same establishment. Therefore, the pay for the office staff cannot be compared to the pay of office staff at other businesses to determine if they are underpaid. On the other hand, pay discrepancy among the women and men in the plant do appear to be discriminatory based on the premises of the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (DON’T KNOW HOW TO CITE LAW), which states that men and women must be provided equal pay for equal work within the same business. Therefore, with all things considered, it appears that this case definitely...

...Technology is getting more advanced and will result in simpler ways of doing things and at the same time easier ways of finding out information that would otherwise be considered private. There has been a consistent growth of databases of personal information in number and in variety. As laws, policies, and technological design continue to link people's relationships with social institutions, individual privacy faces new threats and new opportunities. Over the last several years, the realm of technology and privacy has been transformed, creating a landscape that is both dangerous and encouraging. With new technology, invasion of privacy may only get worse. It is up to us to know where to draw the line. Technical Privacy –The New Landscape: edited by: Philip E.

Explain what is meant by Professor Miller’s “the cruelest corruption of Darwin’s theories” in the Carrie Buck story. “Darwin's Theory of Evolution is the widely held notion that all life is related and has descended from a common ancestor… that, complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time.” (www.darwins-theory-of evolution.com) Obviously, the very fundamentals of Darwin’s theories were twisted and misinterpreted in the Carrie Buck case. This was the harshest form of stereotyping and discrimination. Carrie...

...BUSN 258 Week 3 Case Study Consolidated Edison company of New York or Con Ed is a utility company that services the five boroughs of New York City and parts of Westchester County. Con Ed supplies electric, gas and steam to over three million customers and prides itself on its reliability. While Con Ed does hold a positive image in their customers’ eyes some incidents recently have left a negative image in many customers’ eyes. Con Ed has been in the news due to two gas explosions in New York City where there have been fatalities as well. These come at a time when Con Ed is trying to persuade customers to covert from oil to gas through incentives. Customers feel oil is safer due to recent events they see on the news. I interviewed Mr. Stampfel a Specialist from the call center to ask him some question s on the importance of customer service and relations. Michael has 9 Customer Service Representatives reporting directly to him, and has been a Customer Service Representative himself before being promoted into management. When Mr. Stampfel was asked about the role and importance of Customer Service to the organization he replied, “ Look around, this whole floor is dedicated to customer service, without customers there would be no Con Edison. We take customer service and satisfaction very seriously. Our CEO even added enhancing the customer experience into our principles.” (Stampfel, personal interview 2015).

...appealing/unappealing to different types of chicken farmers? Appealing: Like many other fowl, the chickens are social birds and their society has a definite social structure. They establish a hierarchical social organization, though fighting and pecking after the birds reach sexual maturity. The comb on the head of chicken is a means of preserving the peck order, and a submissive bird raising its head too high would be pecked by one or more its superiors until its head was lowered. The more productive strains tend to be more cannibalistic, even sometimes had to put a sack over the extremely productive one. In order to reduce chicken mortality due to cannibalism , the chicken farmers use debeaking, which doesn’t interfere with the formation of the peck order but reduces the efficiency of beak as a weapon. The debeaking process make the chicken subject considerate trauma resulting in a temporary weight loss and the retardation of egg production for at least a week. The debeaked chicken would enter a permanent regression or own its deadly weapon again if the beak is cut too short or too long. Compare to debeaking operation, ODI contact lens which would cause cataract to poultry is the product to actually confront the cause of chicken cannibalization rather than just minimize its effects. And the red color environment caused by lenses affects the chicken’s ability to act out its aggressions. The installation of lens doesn't result trauma to the chicken as debeaking does, and it could install...

...of egg-producing farm chickens. This development came after an accidental discovery that partially blind chickens demonstrate more manageable and productive behaviors that are valuable to chicken farmers. Market Trends As within many industries, the poultry and egg production market has evolved dramatically in the last century— from small backyard barnyards to today’s high-production farms of more than 2.5 million birds. Due to the varied demands and operations necessitated by this current, broad spectrum of customers (here, chicken farmers), the current market is best understood by segmenting it first by flock size. As shown in Exhibit 4 of the case study, we see the percentage growth (decline) of each flock size segment as it relates to farm size and chicken count from 1964 to 1996. Based on this data, farms with flock sizes less than 10,000 chickens have dramatically reduced in this time period while farms with flock sizes larger than 10,000 have consistently grown in each of the four high-volume segments. Additionally, the market data also demonstrates a significant progression of concentration both regionally as well as in the nation’s number of industry producers. In 1974, 80% of the laying hens in the United States were housed in just 3% of the country’s chicken farms. Regionally speaking, the farms have evolved into concentrations in where just three states—California, North Carolina, and Georgia—account for more 25% of the nation’s chickens. Finally, additional...

...You’re cooking your chicken wrong. Forty percent of 120 participants in a new study conducted by the University of California, Davis are, anyway. Christine Bruhn, PhD, director of the Center for Consumer Research at UC Davis, says she was “really surprised” at the number, which represents the amount of participants who undercook their chicken. "I know people do that on purpose with burgers, but with chicken I always thought people were more aware of making sure it was fully cooked,” she told us. The majority of participants who undercooked their meat were a full 14 degrees below the the recommended 165 degree F threshold, and more than half of those who grilled their chicken were 18 degrees under. “The grill is really hot; it’s harder to control and that chicken usually looks pretty darn cooked on the outside,” says Bruhn of the common misstep. The problem is that this fowl fumble can lead to illness, including the dreaded salmonella infection. So what can you do to make sure your signature stir fry doesn’t make anyone sick? Below, Bruhn shares the basic rules of the game with us. Use a meat thermometer. Slicing through the meat to check for color won’t get the job done. “Consumers do it all the time, but going off appearance just doesn’t work,” says Bruhn. And just because your recipe says to cook a chicken breast for 10 minutes doesn’t mean that’ll get you to a safe temperature. “That doesn’t account for how thin or thick the meat is or how hot your stove is,” she adds...

...lenses for chickens. These lenses offer farmers a unique cost saving opportunity and are more humane and efficient than the current de-beaking method. ODI, with help from New World Plastics has developed this commercially viable technology to reduce cannibalism by inducing astigmatism. With a patent holding off competition for at least three years, ODI needs to decide how to price contact lenses to ensure high adoption and profitability which will fuel ODI’s ability to circumvent competition through further investment in R&D – a key requirement to be able to establish themselves as a multiproduct, multimarket company which can provide effective service anywhere in the country. ODI should initially target Large Farms with 100,000+ birds with this product at a price of $0.16/pair because this contact lens technology yields the following superior results versus current debeaking method: greater reduction in cannibalism by 4.5%, zero chicken traumas, no risk versus medium risk with de-beaking, and a reduction in feed costs. There are several segments within the poultry industry – Small, Medium, and Large farms characterized by 10,000 or less birds, 10,000-50,000 birds, and 50,000+ birds, respectively. Based on the case data, the US Poultry industry is consolidating at a rapid rate. For instance, in 1964, 1.2M farms represented 38.3% of the entire chicken industry and managed 343M birds. Five years later, the number of farms managing roughly the same number of chickens shrunk to...

...throw them right away after cooking. Calcium, magnesium, and protein are one of the nutrients we can find in egg shell. In fact, there are many benefits of egg shells aside from using them for art projects. Back in 1905, it was used as a healing for wounds. In the present study, it can also treat skin irritations, skin-tightening facial, less bitter a coffee, and as extract supplements. Instead of buying expensive feed supplement for your chickens, It was found out that the proteins in the egg shell membrane have a high concentration of the amino acids of arginine, glutamic acid, methionine, histidine, cystine and proline. Protein is a good source for growth of the entire body for growing infants, children and teens, along with sufficient calories. Peanuts is also a excellent source of protein. Peanuts are also an excellent source of Vitamin E and magnesium and also have useful amounts of B Vitamins including folate, thiamine and riboflavin. Our study will try to use the egg shells along with the peanuts as a feed supplement for the chickens. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Conclusion This study entitled “Egg Shells and Peanuts as feed Supplements to the chicks” aims to determine the effects of Egg shells and Peanuts to the weight of the chicks. At the end of the study, we therefore conclude that...

...The Red Wheelbarrow so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens. -- William Carlos Williams (1923) To Paint a Picture Just as the opening line of William Carlos William’s 1923 poem “The Red Wheelbarrow” reads, “So much depends.” So much depends on the reader’s interpretation of this poem. How was the author intending his work to be read? One can argue that Williams wished his audience to paint a mental picture of the poem, and then draw their own conclusions based on the imagery contained therein. The poem, consisting of only sixteen words, follows a basic metrical structure. It consists of eight lines, which are broken into four verses. Each verse consists of a dimeter, followed by a monometer. At first reading, the student may want to read the two lines of each verse together as one. Reading the poem in this fashion does not bring attention to its individual parts. The student should focus on the lineation of the poem while reading it, and follow the metrical structure that is laid out. By slowing down and taking in the poem on line at a time, the reader will more easily be able to paint a mental picture of the poem. This seems to have been how the author intended the poem to be read. The imagery of “The Red Wheelbarrow” can be compared to that of a classic painting. The painting is easy on the eyes, nice to look at. If the viewer can picture himself inside the canvas setting, he may be able to...
