Affirmative action vs equal employment opportunity
Just looking for a page or two to start a discussion/journal
based on the following:
Why do we as a society still need Affirmative Action? Isn’t
Equal Employment Opportunity sufficient to prevent workplace discrimination?
Affirmative Action
According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), affirmative action (AA) refers to the actions taken to overcome the effects of past or present practices, policies, or other barriers to equal employment opportunity AA provides companies an opportunity to correct previous injustices and past mistakes so that equal opportunities are afforded to all employees within the organization
Using the Internet or other sources, locate and review an Affirmative Action plan Look at the following key components in the plan:
The organization’s commitment to affirmative action Managerial responsibility, or authority, to direct implementation Communication methods to broadcast the policies and procedures Goals and timetables to improve the utilization of males, females, and minorities in underutilized areas Internal audit and reporting processes to evaluate the progress A community outreach program to develop internal and external support for diversity programs
In what ways does the plan you selected provide a fair opportunity for all employees in the organization? Why?
After reading Chapters 4, 5, and 6 of our text, watch the video Shashi Tharoor: Why nations should pursue soft power Post 1) what you garnered from the video 2) a discussion on the soft power of any given country (include actual examples) 3) two peer responses
I had never heard the term “soft power†prior to watching this video Shashi Tharoor defines soft power as the “power of example†and “the ability to attract others†Those thoughts touched me because as an American I think we have lost that Maybe it is my age, maybe I have become cynical but we as a nation are (The economist, 2017)sometime lacking in our power of example Where I see this the most is in our lack of ability to disagree Tharoor said that part of India’s soft power is that they don’t have to agree on everything all of the time, so long as you agree on the ground rules of how you will disagree That is the part we are missing today, the basic respect to disagree It is demonstrated from our 24 hour news programs down to Facebook Many can’t disagree without getting mean and calling names How can we solve our problems if we can’t even agree as to what they are?
While Tharoor talks about India as having soft power, I understand the point he is making, that India is influencing the world more and more through who they are and not use of power However, Goldlorn in his article Can China do Soft Power? Contends that, “The essence of Joseph Nye’s articulation of soft power is the power to attract, to co-opt and to seduce†He goes on to say that although China is trying to gain soft power no one is rushing to live there and I think the same could be said of India While I love Bollywood films and I love the people who I have met from India, more people are moving from India to the US then the other way around

Allport’s theory for explaining traits After he set out to compose a list of traits, he described them as the building blocks of personality We probably use traits every day to describe ourselves as well as our friends and relatives Most approaches to personality make use of the concept of traits, but they differ primarily in how they explain the development of individual differences You mention cardinal, central and secondary traits Can you briefly define and discuss the differences with an example of each?
