...The Article Tattoos in the Workplace: How Appearance Policies Affect Healthcare Jobs, is stating the while tattoos become more widely accepted, it is also true that not every employer welcomes their presence. Tattoos are a form of personal expression that is not protected under the First Amendment. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, an employer can establish a dress code and appearance policies if they don’t discriminate against a person based on their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information. In the healthcare field, facial tattoos along with offensive tattoos that are visible, are often forbidden, even if the hospital has no official policy regarding the subject.

...Battling Discrimination at Work Discrimination at work is unfair. The reason why is because everybody is a human being and everyone should be treated equal. Companies don’t always get the best workers because they tend to pick what they think will work, when in reality if they took the time to study them they would realize how the person works and or who they really are. First of all everyone should be treated equal because everyone is the same, some people might be short, others tall, some skinny and some fat but that doesn’t matter because deep inside we are all the same. Also people should be treated equally so that everyone has the chance to do something in life. Some employers hire individuals based on their ability to get a job done. Some employers hire people based on their qualifications and their experiences concerning a particular job. However, there are employers out there that hire someone based purely on how the person looks. Whether it be based on their skin color, age, gender, or sexual orientation. Discrimination is everywhere no matter where we look, but it should stop because it is just not fair, everyone should be treated equal. Companies do not always get the best workers, they tend to go for the people who are good looking and people they think will bring more business and costumers. For example a lot of Mexican people come to this country to become successful and do something about their lives, but the system of the united states decides to block them...

...his dress and demeanor. He appeared well to do with his jacket and slacks. As I further examined him I couldn’t help but notice that he was wearing a pair of work boots. I took this as to be the way Aaron is and nothing else. For if you know Aaron, you know he has a casual attitude and always ready with a smile. Before the class started that day we talked about our speeches and if we could convince ourselves of the topics we had decided on. He seemed a little nervous about his topic because he did not fully agree or disagree with the appearance of tattoos. We talked about both pros and cons of this idea but could not agree on one side. He told me that he had chosen the topic and was going to do what he could to convince us, though you could tell he was nervous. As Aaron stepped up to do his speech, that’s when I noticed his nerves set in on him. He didn’t seem as if he could loosen up and I believe the main reason why was because he wasn’t too sure of his topic. I do believe if he was convinced about it himself, he would have delivered a much better speech. His speech was well organized and prepared and followed the main ideas of what a speech should be, yet he was allowing his nerves to make him loose eye contact. As his speech proceeded Aaron settled down enough to allow his words to flow better. Here is where I started to have more issues with his speech. Aaron had a lot of opinionated information that was presented and was hard for me to find it as fact, like...

...2013 Research Paper Tattoos From the time we are born until the time we are elderly we are constantly around tattoos. In the United States a person must be 18 before they can get a tattoo legally without parents consent. Therefore, many children like the idea of tattoos, so many put on temporary tattoos such as the stick on temporary ones with water and henna tattoos. A tattoo is a type of art where he or she gets a permanent picture or design process of pricking and ingraining an indelible pigment. The word tattoo is said to have came from two different origins the Polynesian word ‘ta’ which means striking something and the Tahitian word ‘tatau’ which means ‘to mark something (“Tattoo Temple”). Many people across the world have tattoos in all different sizes, colors, and places. Each person who has a tattoo has gotten it for one reason or another. It is amazing how long tattoos have been around for. One fact obtained from doing research is, “Believe it or not, some scientists say that certain marks on the skin of the Iceman, a mummified human body dating from about 3300 B.C., are tattoos” (Krcmarik). It is very interesting to know that tattoos have been around for this many years, it was until 1991 when the tattoos were discover on the Iceman by scientist Otzi. It is incredible how they were still able to discover these markings on the Iceman after so many years of being frozen. Many people over look tattoos as dumb useless art on the body, but many tattoos have a symbolic meaning...

...These syringes commonly referred to as “rigs” circulate amongst prison cells and are used repeatedly as they are in high demand and will get confiscated if found on a person (Small, et al 2005). In a study Sieck, & Dembe conducted in the year of 2011, they had inmates participate in a pre-release study where they took mandatory blood tests and an optional genital swab test. They had identified 53 new cases of disease out of 916 inmates (5.5%) scheduled for release during the period of the study, of those patients 12% reported engaging in sexual activity whilst in prison, 35% reported having tattoos done, and 19.5% reported drug use. These facts suggest that approximately 5.5% of prisoners that are in the process of being released back in to the public are bringing infectious diseases contracted whilst in prison. The amount of drug use amongst prison populations has remained relatively stable at about 10% per year, and the prevalence of Hepatitis C was reported to be 2993 cases in 2003 representing 23.6% of the population (Small, et al 2005). The prevalence of HIV/AIDS amongst prison populations in Canada has increased by an average of 15 cases per year since the year 1989 with a total of 223 federal prisoners known to be HIV positive in the year 2003 (Small, et al 2005).

...Module 5: Final Synthesis “Fieldwork” Paper Upon reading Arloski’s text and reviewing his tools for exploration, I have designed a Life’s Basic tool for exploring wellness that has a personal meaning to close family as well as friends and myself. Arloski’s tools for exploration number six, “The Welcome Packet”, inspired me. I wanted to create a tool that was not only powerful, thought-provoking, and intriguing, but a tool that held meaning to an individual that allowed them to find purpose and what one would need to do in order to feel accomplished in life. In the process of completing this tool, I began with my boyfriend’s life experience. Since he has been incarcerated and recently released from prison, I thought he would be a good candidate to help get some ideas with the design of my tool. During our initial conversation, I asked him what concepts he thought was essential to life’s basics. He described three things. The first concept was to understand how to dream and uncover what one really wants. The second was to understand how to get rid of self-sabotaging mental chatter and negative beliefs. Last, but not least, knowing how to make and keep commitments to oneself around ones body, career, money, and relationships. I found these concepts to be very intriguing and was really surprised at the response I received. While in prison, he explained that he had a lot of time to dream about what he really wanted out of life and what things he needed to do once he got out...

...Unit 2 Equality and Diversity Concepts in Equality and Diversity Equality – Equality is making sure that people have equal rights and opportunities. It is part of the law that every organisation has to have an equal opportunities policy, to make sure that employees have the same choices and opportunities and that no one is treated differently. For example in a nursing home, according to the equal opportunities policy, all individuals should receive the same high-quality care service, however people may be treat differently due to different cultural needs and preferences. For instance, a male care worker may not be allowed to work with a female Muslim due to her preferences and religion; however the Muslim woman will still receive the same amount of care. Equity – Equity is the definition for being fair, having justice and being impartial. It means that everyone is permitted to equal access to any service which they may require and should still get the same amount of high-quality care regardless of where they live of how they live their lives. For example, in a hospital the patients shouldn’t be treated exactly the same, however you should still be fair and offer them opportunities and choices. For instance if there was a young girl in one bed and an old man in another bed, the young girl will be treated differently than the old man due to their needs and preferences, however they will both still be treated fairly just not the same and will still receive the same amount of...

...Contrast Between Catholic and Baptist Religion - Ask most people today if they have heard of Baptist and Catholic religion and most would say yes. In many ways the two are very similar. For instance, both are based on the Christian faith, belief in the trinity, and that God is the one true God. The two religions agree that Jesus died on the cross and rose again to atone for our sins. They share a 27 book New Testament and insist that salvation comes from Christ alone. On the other hand, while the Baptist and Catholic religions do have similarities, they also have differences, such as their services, communion, and views regarding salvation. The Catholic Religion - The world has more than one billion Catholics and with the ever growing population, it will only get larger in number. To be a Catholic means to have complete faith in God and his divine grace. Having God's divine grace means to obey it and keep it holy as it was created by God and given to his people. The religion itself is based on this and the people take it very seriously. Catholics believe that all people are of good nature but when one commits a sin it not only hurts that one person but the people and the Church....

Students will learn that within the institutional environment, there is a commonality of experiences that arise between those who are involved; this is true for both inmates and staff. Indeed, many people may not be aware that, in fact, the mind and the world of the inmate often affect the mind-set of security personnel who work with the inmate. In essence, there is an exchange of beliefs and perspectives that often come together to produce a unique fusion...

...Telecommunication While traditional telecommunications networks have allowed us to cross barriers associated with time and distance, the new multimedia realm is allowing us to include vital physical cues in the information stream, introducing a physical reality into the world of electronic communications, goods, and services. Not surprisingly, some of the industries that are being most radically revolutionized are those that deal with the human senses, including entertainment, health care, education, advertising, and, sadly, warfare. Simply put, technology changes your way and pace of life. In recent years, the word telecommunications has been used so often, and applied in so many situations, that it has become part of our daily lexicon, yet its definition remains elusive. So, let's start with a definition. The word telecommunications has its roots in Greek: tele means "over a distance," and communicara means "the ability to share." Hence, telecommunications literally means "the sharing of information over a distance." Telecommunications is more than a set of technologies, it's more than an enormous global industry (estimated to be US$2.5 trillion), it's more than twenty-first-century business and law that is being re-created to accommodate a virtual world, and it's more than a creator and destroyer of the state of the economy. Telecommunications is a way of life. Telecommunications affects how and where you do everything—live, work, play, socialize, entertain, serve, study...

...´ NOELLE J. MOLE PRINCETON UNIVERSITY Living it on the skin: Italian states, working illness A B S T R A C T In this article, I examine the codification of an Italian work-related illness caused by mobbing, a type of psychological harassment that emerged at the moment neoliberal policies transformed Italy’s historically protectionist labor market. I trace how the medicalization of mobbing has expanded workers’ access to compensation, resources, and discursive tools for criticizing neoliberal labor conditions, even as it has produced new structures of surveillance. I unravel the neoliberal politics of a state that protects workers’ health yet governs worker–citizens through an apparatus of medical experts. I find that workers’ labor problems are experienced and managed as bodily problems in ways important to remaking Italian citizenship.
