...Hernandez Raytheon Company v. Hernandez. This case was argued on October 8, 2003 and decided on December 2, 2003 dealing with the Disparate Treatment. Disparate Impact occurs when someone is treated differently, regarding the terms and conditions of the workplace, because of their sex, color, race, religion, physical or mental disability or age.

With the fear of being rejected from his employment, Joel had quit his job because he knew that he had violated petitioner Raytheon Company's workplace conduct rules.

...Introduction Youth residential facilities all across America are filled with the future of our workforce. While in these facilities young people are taught to be functioning attributes to society, and the main way to do this is by obtaining employment. Often these youth are plagued by physical and mental disabilities that will give them a harder road than someone applying for the same position. The U.S. Census Bureau says that about 49.7 million Americans have a disability. Those with a physical disability were 9.4 percent, mental disability was 5.6 percent for people age 16 and older, and 6.9 percent had an employment disability (census.gov). When youth leave facilities were they have been groomed and ultimately institutionalized, they are stuck without skills that will help them obtain employment and be able to compete in today’s society. The research in this paper will explore the laws that protect those with disabilities and how they may be improved to provide them with equal employment opportunities. These youth put so much of their self-worth into having a job but are often discriminated against. Getting up and being involved in a working society puts forth an image of belonging as so many times in their past they have been shunned aside and made to feel inferior by those most important to them. Disability discrimination occurs when an employer or other entity covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended, or the Rehabilitation Act, as amended, treats...

...The Strict Liability Theory Introduction Strict Liability in simplistic terms can imply an individual or company being liable for their deeds, conducts and outcomes that result in damages to others. A personal complaint of injury for a strict liability case is not as a consequence of a foreplanned action or careless deed (Boatright, 2012). The respondent's action should have triggered strict liability and that the complainant suffered harm. In fact, one cannot understand what strict liability in the criminal law means, in the same token understand why it is considered unorthodox and morally dyslogistic. The respondent's responsibility and blameworthiness, or mental fault should be evaluated and, more particularly, the usual relevance of a respondent's mistakes in determining this error. Furthermore, strict liability is a form of responsibility that may occur in either a criminal or a civil context. Equally important to note, strict liability causes an individual to legally answerable for the loss and damage that his or her actions caused because of his or her deeds of omissions irrespective of incrimination. For strict liability to be induced and used in a lawsuit, proving fault or negligence is not the main desire but rather showing the danger to the complainant (Martin, 2014). Strict liability flows not from carelessness, but from the v option to conduct the activity at all. Strict liability does not base on a fault in the time-honored sense of the term, but on the policy...

...The Effects of the Parenting Styles on the Behavior of Psychology Students in Centro Escolar University Year 2012-2013 An Undergraduate Research Presented to the Faculty of School of Science and Technology In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Course Communication Skills 14 (Technical Writing) by: Anne Kristine G. Francisco Kathlene Marie S. Tambo Michelle R. Aranda March 2013 CHAPTER 1 The Problem and Its Background Introduction Parenting is a complex activity that includes many specific behaviors that work individually and together to influence child outcomes. Although specific parenting behaviors, such as spanking or reading aloud, may influence child development, looking at any specific behavior in isolation may be misleading. Many writers have noted that specific parenting practices are less important in predicting child well-being than is the broad pattern of parenting. Most researchers who attempt to describe this broad parental milieu rely on Diana Baumrind’s concept of parenting style. The construct of parenting style is used to capture normal variations in parents’ attempts to control and socialize their children (Baumrind, 1991). Two points are critical in understanding this definition. First, parenting style is meant to describe normal variations in parenting. In other words, the parenting style typology Baumrind developed should not be understood to include deviant...

...Two: Counsel’s Memorial i. Introduction ii. Statement of facts iii. Statement of purpose iv. Arguments v. Bibliography International Arbitration Part 1 Question 1: Importance of Severability in Arbitration Severability is a term found in contract agreements that permits individuals or parties to leave out a component in an agreement which is perceived inappropriate or impossible to enforce. Severability is important since it will facilitate the other components to remain valid and hence to be enforced effectively. It is contained in arbitration law and it is a significant clause that defines the validity of any given contract. It is also referred to as saving phrase or clause in some literature. In this case, a contract will remain valid even after a portion of the contract is denounced later as invalid. This is a very important principle since it shows the motives of both parties when unenforceable clauses have been imposed on the contract. Provision of the said clause will be subjected to modifications in order to reflect the motives of the parties involved. As a result, the remaining clauses will proceed normally without any hindrances. It is important to note that severability clause is very crucial in any arbitration procedure around the world. This is given the fact that the parties involved in the arbitration may encounter hurdles in the future that may compromise the fulfilment of some of the clauses in the arbitration agreement. The...

(2011). What’s mine is yours. How Collaborative Consumption is changing the way we live. HarperCollinsPublishers: London. 2 Summary Collaborative Consumption (CC) is a new socioeconomic groundswell in which traditional sharing, bartering, lending, trading, renting, gifting, and swapping are redefined through technology and peer communities. It is characterized by access, instead of ownership, to products and services thereby benefiting people, profit and planet. This ‘new’ form of sustainable consumption and entrepreneurship has the ability to transform business, consumerism, and the way people live (Botsman and Rogers, 2011). Examples of CC have been growing rapidly over the past few years. However, there is a dearth of empirical evidence about the actual growth potential of CC. Therefore, the knowledge gap addressed in this thesis is this dearth of empirical evidence and ultimately the...

...1) CASE SUMMARY Singapore is a small country with the population of 5.1 million over people. This country is the world most competitive and developed nation. Currently, Singapore is ranked second (2011) among 142 countries in the Global Competitiveness Index. This success story is primarily contributed by Singapore government continuous emphasis and substantial investment on developing human resources capability throughout all its industries. According to research in Singapore, many academics and practitioners have noted the emergence of a new generation of workers characterized by decreased company loyalty and increased expectations on various aspects of work life. At the same time, increasing emphasis on knowledge-based competition has accelerated the importance of human capital and hence the strategic role of the human resource management (HRM) functions in any organization. A research by David Wan, Victor Kok and Chin Huat Ong of National University of Singapore (NUS) indicated that strategic human resource management (HRM) practices could bring higher levels of organizational performance. Similar studies in the past also indicated comparable findings. Conceptually, all previous studies reveal that there is a positive relationship between HRM practices and firm performance. This article includes a study of 191 Singapore firms. The study found a positive relationship between various aspects of a company’s strategic HRM policies/practices and its HR performance...

The analysis shows the average mean weight composition of household waste sortingat source ranges from 0.50kg to 0.63kg paper, 2.21kg to 3.29kg putrescibles, 0.85kg to 1.41kg glass, 0.52kg to 0.68 plastic and 0.89kg to 1.20kg cans. The average percentage composition of wastes ranges from 10% paper to 45% putrescibles. From the analysis, there is a low level of household awareness about the preparedness of household waste sorting at source, and hence low level of participation in household waste sorting, disposal and recycling. The study also concludes the need for strengthening the relationship...
