It has to be more than one and a half page for each question.
Question 1:
When employers discriminate against applicants or employees they do so in two general ways: 1) intentionally, or through “adverse treatment,” or 2) unintentionally, or through “adverse impact.” Research these terms and, in your own words, identify how discrimination that occurs intentionally differs from discrimination that occurs unintentionally. Give an example each.
Question 2:
Sometimes, it is permissible for employers to intentionally favor a protected classification over all other protected classifications because the favored protected classification is the only one that can perform the job. The employer intentionally discriminates against all other protected classifications. This amounts to legal discrimination! For example, if an employer needed to hire a surrogate mother...then the employer would naturally need a woman for the job, since a man could never be a surrogate mother. Likewise, if an employer wanted to hire a sperm donor, it would be required to hire a man, since a woman could never perform that job. When an employer intentionally discriminates, it argues that the favored protected classification is a “BFOQ.” Research that term and in your own words describe how an employer may argue that it is necessary to discrimination based on the other protected classifications identified in Title VII, such as religion. Please note: it is possible to successfully argue that a BFOQ is necessary for every protected classification except one. In your paper, identify the protected classification that can never be the basis for a BFOQ.
Question 3:
Much discrimination is based upon “stereotypes.” Research what this means and in your own words describe various stereotypes that commonly lead to discrimination in the workplace. What should an employer to do ensure that stereotypes do not influence decision making?

Discrimination is a vice that we have to admit exists in our society as well as our
workplace. We have to try and reduce the level of discriminations as we know that some
people may discriminate intentionally or unintentionally. This means identifying a problem
and working towards addressing the problem. There are federal laws that prohibit
discrimination and call for equal opportunities for every person capable (Guo, 2015).
Employers should not discriminate against employees based on any of the following reasons
that include the employee’s age, race, religion, national origin, or gender. Under adverse
treatment, the basic idea is that the employer treated an employee or a group of employees
differently than others based on distinct classifications that are mentioned above. In this case,
intentional discrimination is whereby, a person was denied a race-based position or
promotion, and somebody less qualified got the position or promotion, an individual was
embarrassed and made to feel uncomfortable when colleagues or his manager produced
derogatory remarks about individuals of color or females, a woman was forced to participate
in sexual activity in order to obtain an increase, be supported, or retain her work, an
employee felt threatened as a result of his sexual orientation, and inconsistent rules were
enforced to favor men over women.
Adverse Impact
Discrimination under these circumstances takes a look at the policy and practice of
the employer rather than looking at the intention. These factors mu...
