...HUM/176 Week 3 Assignment Hello, I hear so many good things and am so fascinated with what you can do with the Internet. Finding all this information so quickly must make your life very easy. But please tell me: how do you assess the value of all this information you find on the Internet? How can you be sure that it is reliable and credible? Also, I have heard the term “digital divide.” What exactly does it mean, and how do you think this divide could be bridged? Thank you for helping me to understand these issues! Best regards, Your friend Dear Friend, I just wanted to see if I can help you understand a little about the internet and answer some of the questions you had. In the beginning you had to have a phone line, but the big cable companies started to use the cable system to transfer the data making it faster and more reliable. Private companies would start-up web browsers and search engines, internet service providers and email; all quickly changed the landscape and the culture around us. Many people became rich and powerful, but along with them came the scammers and those that were less ethical. Because of them the reliability of what you were reading, viewing or watching became suspect. There was so much money to be made because the net had exploded into almost every household in America. You had asked how to check the reliability of what you are reading; there are many ways to do this. The simplest way is to look at the internet as a vast array...

...Question1: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is applicable in this case. It is a federal law that prohibits employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin, and religion. In this case, the plaintiff think she suffered discrimination due to her personal religious beliefs that she needs to wear a headscarf during the month of Ramadan, which violated her company's dress code.

Question3: Disparate impact refers the rule or regulation is fair and applies to everybody, but hurts some groups or people more than others.

A customer who is used to walking into a store, buying, and walking out is looking for instant gratification. What did Dell offer which other players were not offering to counter this? Answer 1 The most important thing that Dell offered was a “customized systems” within a few days. This was something that other competitors were not able to offer as they had already built systems in inventory with them and at retailers’ / resellers’ store. Dell was also the first to offer toll free telephone lines that the customers could call to place the order and on-site technical support. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 3 How did keeping low finished goods inventory vs its competitors help Dell when Intel had to replace faulty Pentium chips?

This paper is going to analyse the reason why the Intermountain Healthcare can be successful by answering the three following questions. Question1: How well is Intermountain Health Care performing? Why? Base on the case study, the Intermountain Healthcare is doing a good job. First of all in 2001, the IHC plan covered 460,000 individuals as well as a market share of 40%, and this was the largest plan in Utah. Additionally in 2013, IHC was awarded by the Gallup Organisation with its Great Workplace Award, and the Consumer Choice Award by the National Research Corporation. The key for IHC’s success is due to its specific system named the Midwest-based integrated delivery system. As the case describes, there are three major elements in this system. The first one is to improve the treatment quality by reducing thee variation during the major processes. The second one is to improve the measurement by establishing a powerful clinical information management system. The third one focuses on catching improvement opportunities by applying an effective management structure. Question2: What is Intermountain’s approach to the management of health care delivery?

...(Cash, 1990)Beautyism in the Workplace HRM 599- Human Resource Management Capstone Strayer University November17, 2014 Beautyism in the workplace Question1. Define “beautyism” and its potential discrimination effects on hiring in the workforce. Beautyism is a term that describes the social advantage attractive people get over less attractive attributes (Cash, 1990). It is well known that individual with physical beauty earn significant social benefit within the society and culture. Evidence proves that being beauty has a positive impact on the employer’s hiring decision, and the majority of hired candidates are more attractive (Nguyen). However, being beautiful dose not means the candidate has the needed knowledge to success neither less attractive candidates may not have the required knowledge for success. The assumption can be made and developed from the special treatment that is given to the candidate who hired because of beautyism. Beautyism is not discriminate, but the bias against less attractive applicants may lead to a particular aspect of discrimination. However, relevant federal law is Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967(ADEA). This law protects individuals who are forty years of age and over. In case of hiring a young attractive applicant over less attractive older applicant that is over forty years could indicate to a potential discrimination under ADEA. Appurtenance and weigh are not protected class under Title VII. Still, applicant with morbidly...
