Instructions

Select an important news event that addresses questionable decision-making on a topic relating to social equity. Your research should identify a government or nonprofit organization that used (or did not use) proper procedures, policy, or law for handling workplace equality practices. With increased multiculturalism in our communities, organizations also need to know how to fairly discern instances of real or perceived discrimination, civil rights abuses, EEOC violations, and gender inequality. Specific topics to be addressed are listed below.

1. Identify the organization, and include stakeholders, individuals, and departments involved.
2. Describe the circumstances and sequence of events—what went right, and what went wrong.
3. Introduce and identify what rules, policy, or law was (or was not) interpreted properly.
4. Briefly outline ethical principles related to multiculturalism and gender equity to resolve ethical dilemmas at work.
5. Summarize important lessons learned.
6. Conclude by listing central social equity concepts in the scenario.

Title and reference pages do not count toward meeting the minimum page requirements.

The purpose of this assignment is to gauge your understanding of the content, so focus on writing original content rather than simply regurgitating the textbook or other sources, whether by paraphrasing or using direct quotes. Paraphrasing is acceptable, but try to keep paraphrasing to a minimum. A good rule of thumb is to use 80% of your own work and to paraphrase 20% or less of the work of others.
