The issues of justice, discrimination, civil rights, feminism, etc.

/in /by

We are discussing   the issues of justice, discrimination, civil rights, feminism, etc.

I want you to interview 3 people, preferably of various ages and ethnic groups. Pose the same 5 questionsto them regarding the pre-mentioned topics. Some possible questions may be: Do you believe racial equality exists in our country? Have you recently been discriminated against? How would you feel about your son/daughter dating our marrying someone from another racial group? Do you think that the election of Barack Obama helped racial relations? Do you think that affirmative action is racial discrimination? Do you believe that women are treated equal to men in our society? Do you think that gay men or women should be allowed to marry and be given full civil rights under the marriage law ? These are some possible questions; I’d like you to include others that you pose.

Write a paper (4-5 pages, double-spaced) summarizing the answers. Give  details about the people interviewed, i.e., single, white male, 24 years old;  married, black female, 40 years old, etc. Do not use their real first names. After you’ve summarized the responses give your own comments and observations. Did you think any of the comments could be perceived as judgmental, prejudice or racist, why? Were the people reluctant to answer the question? etc. Okay ?

People may be reluctant to give specific answers to your questions. Try to persuade them to give answers beyond a “Yes” or “No.” Tell them that their real names will not be used. They could be assured of that.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Theory (1963) comes to mind when discussing employee work motivation and attitude. Abraham Maslow states that people are driven by different motivations to work. He has displayed the various motivations by using a pyramid. The base of the pyramid is the need for the basics such as safety, food, and shelter. Most people are motivated to go to work based on these basic human needs.

The top of the Maslow’s pyramid is self-actuation. Many people are motivated for recognition or high achievement. Maslow describes self-actualization as a person’s need to be and do that which the person was “born to do.” “A musician must make music, an artist must paint, and a poet must write.” (Simons & Drinnien, 1987).

Between the base of the pyramid and the top of the pyramid are other work motivators. These other motivators are safety, love/belonging, and esteem. Figuring out which work motivator drives the employee’s reason to work may also help with employee attitude. For instance, if an employee’s work motivation is self-actualization, then that employee may be a “workaholic,” or have ambitions to always be in leadership roles.

The same can be said about an employee whose work motivation is at the vary base (food and shelter). These employees may do the bare minimum, but will always look for other job opportunities. By and large, turnover theorists assume that employees’ preference for leaving is based primarily on their job satisfaction, which directly influences their intent to leave. Although liking or not liking one’s job is clearly important, Hom and associates (2012) theorize that an assessment of control as well as an affective assessment of one’s current employment situation must be jointly considered (Li, et al, 2016).
