Collaboration To Eradicating Racism And Colorism From Employment

     Discrimination in society norms has collaborations to Eradicate Racism and Colorism From Employment. Providing the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In the commission they must collaborate to complete the following objectives. "Improve data collection and data analysis in order to identify, track, investigate and prosecute allegations of discrimination. Improve quality and consistency in EEOC's charge processing and litigation program, and improve federal sector systems. Develop strategies, legal theories, and training modules to address emerging issues of discrimination. Enhance the visibility of EEOC's enforcement efforts in eradicating race and color discrimination. Engage the public, employers, and stakeholders to promote voluntary compliance to eradicate race and color discrimination."

     "Collaborating with business and advocacy communities to increase voluntary compliance. OCH and OFP will strengthen collaboration with employer groups, human resource professionals, employee advocates, law firms, and other interested parties to address racial disparities in the workplace; to promote inclusiveness and diversity; to encourage the adoption and enforcement of zero-tolerance or progressive discipline polices for unlawful discrimination; and to emphasize the importance of employers promoting dialogue about race, color, unconscious bias, and cultural issues at their workplaces." Source: http://www.eeoc.gov

    Ridding of discrimination happening in the work place is group effort to collaborate to produce an equal employment opportunity for all humans regardless of race. Collaborating with their point of view you must understand what "Colorism" is...

   "Definition of Colorism is practice of discrimination by which those with lighter skins are treated more favorably than those with darker skin. In the African-American community, this traditionally played out via the paper bag test. Those lighter than the standard paper were allowed entry into... other realms of blacks were excluded. Examples of colorism mirrors white supremacy in that those with lighter skin are awarded privileges their dark-skinned counterparts aren't---strictly based on skin color."

    Colorism happens to all races not just one minority of color. Depends on were you are and how you are treated to understand the full affect of someone discriminating you based off your skin color. White people in society are discriminated against other races who are brought up to hate the "white man". Not everything will ever be fully equal towards all races until cultures become less bias towards different races.

Most popular source of Social Media today is Facebook an online social networking service headquartered in Menlo Park, California. Facebook was founded on February 4, 2004, by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow Harvard University students. Besides Facebook social media is spreads into multiple forms that are popular with young people such as Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr and Youtube.

    "Young People are the most likely demographic group to witness online harassment. Young people, those ages 18-29, are the most likely of any demographic group to witness harassment online. Fully 92% have witnessed some kind of harassment online."

    "Respondents were asked to give their own description of the most recent incident of online harassment they witnessed. The themes and frustrations described were similar to the stories documented through this report of those experienced harassment. Many respondents noted anonymity was behind much of the harassment they witnessed and gave people license to behave badly."

    "Some people lose all sense of decency when they think actions on the Internet are anonymous."

    "Behavior and language that would never be done in person."

    "Comments sections of websites can be a racial and/or misogynistic free for all. People hide behind their anonymity to say the most foul, racist and sexist things. They say things that they would never say face to face. In the past I have called some of these people out, and lectured them on their behavior. However, you can't always rationalize with a sick or stupid mind."

https://greylining.files.wordpress.com

   "People lose their moral compass online. You can be cruel as you want behind a screen because no one is immediately responding and you don't have to face what you say/do."

    "A lot of these things happen anonymously. They become less frequent when a person's identity is known, but is still seen."

    "Twitter, Facebook, email, all allow anonymous people to write the most hateful harmful things about and to people. It should be allowed to say what they want, but the recipient should know who the author of the comment is. Too many people get online and feel empowered to reach out and strike at strangers with a vengeance because nobody knows who they are. Five years from now we'll wonder why we let people get away with so long. It will be changed."

    "Anonymous people calling other people names and questioning their character."

    "I have seen people being called racist things like the n-word or s**t or gay slurs. I have seen other people being called dumb or stupid. Mostly on tumblr. They use the anonymous setting and just rip people apart."

"Social networking allowing someone to be anonymous, thus allowing them to say anything about multiple people."

    "Facebook, and Twitter usually... people using anonymity to verbally attack people or embarrass them with their beliefs."

     "People regularly insult others on the Internet far more freely than in personal situations because of the anonymity involved. People wouldn't regularly insult others for such minor things, but on the Internet there are seldom consequences, and people take advantage of this."

http://blog.frontporchforum.com

    Most people said they witness general cruelty or meanness online. Name calling, insults, and an inability to respect differences in opinion were common complaints. Some expressed a certain amount of apathy that meanness is just the nature of life online.

    "In comments on a Facebook post, many times people will harshly and indecently harass other people leaving comments. They call them terrible names, use terrible language, say ugly things about them although they do not know them, and will argue for a long time."

    "In general, whether anonymity is a factor or not, people feel entitled to be brutal in their conduct with people they don't know."

    "People just say names, ask for nudes, and tell people they suck at life."

    "People talking s**t about others publicly rather one-on-one."

  Many people observe harassment online surrounding political or religious differences or public figures.

     Comment sections on websites were also noted for hosting antagonistic conversations between contributors. These were often new sites.

     Other spaces online where harassment was frequently witnessed included social medial sites, blogs, videos sites, and discussion boards.

    "On Youtube and Reddit, rude or harassing behavior are common. This is especially true when it comes to comments and content related to controversial topics like politics, race, relations, and religion, but occasionally this nastiness spills over into topics that are supposed to be more light-hearted like sports or pop culture."

    "People treating others with disrespect via social media."

http://img.dunyanews.tv

    Embarrassing photos and videos were often used as examples.

    Many observed very personal attacks---"airing dirty laundry" of family drama.

    Others said the harassment they witness involved colleagues or other work related situations.

    Others witnessed sexual harassment and derogatory comments toward women.

    "Anytime a person gets into an argument online these days you see threats, cursing, offensive language and other disturbing characteristics. Young women especially when posting pictures of themselves deal with sexist remarks about their bodies, the sad part is that some of them, though uncomfortable with how to respond, don't even really understand how disrespectful it is."

    "Everyday sexism and harassment of women."

    "Lots of misogyny, racism, sexism, gender policing, body shaming and anti-intellectualism."

    "Misogynistic language and rap threats in comments sections of new articles on feminist topics."

    "Seen people purposely mock others' comments. See men go after women who make comments that are feminist. I have felt fearful myself because of the response I would get."

    "Strong younger women seem to get targeted. It looks pretty awful. Rape threats, death threats."

   Physical threats and stalking were observed by some.

    Online games and sports discussions were also noted as environment where name-calling and cruelty occurred. Sometimes it was considered just the nature of the game.

    Some people in the gamer community are advocating to stop people's stubborn and intolerance of other people's beliefs.

Although some younger generations often in middle school start to use the word without care. We should teach children what is right from wrong.

Empirically Studies Discrimination Against Bisexuals

    http://images.universityherald.com

     Discrimination is everywhere in society and there is empirical statistics. Empirical means concerned with, or verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory of pure logic. I'm only to write about Empirically Studies and what statistics are important to Discrimination against Bisexuals. People are subjected to empirically because we want to measure people compared to others. The statistics are important to see who is discriminated and how much. There is many different ways people can measure discrimination. Through test results that show and empirical study, that shows Bisexuals have employment Discrimination.

Employment Discrimination against Bisexuals: An Empirical Study

    "This paper discusses the results of an online survey the authors conducted of bisexuals and others with fluid identities concerning employment discrimination. Although bisexuals are believed to be the largest sexual minority group in the United States, there is currently very little data on the extent to which bisexuals face employment discrimination. However, it is known that bisexuals, particularly bisexual women, tend to have worse physical and mental health outcomes than heterosexuals and, in some respects, gays and lesbians. Furthermore, both bisexual men and women experience higher rates of suicide ideation than gay or heterosexual men and lesbians or heterosexual women, respectively. Bisexuals also face considerable prejudice from both heterosexual and gay and lesbian groups. Despite bisexuals’ physical and mental health challenges and the known social discrimination that bisexuals face, there appear to be very few sexual orientation discrimination cases brought by bisexual plaintiffs."

    "In conducting the survey, the authors defined discrimination broadly and asked respondents to report on their experiences with sexual orientation discrimination of a variety of different types. One hundred and seventeen self-identified bisexuals responded. They reported significant levels of employment discrimination, with slightly over fifty percent reporting at least one experience with sexual orientation-based employment discrimination at some point in their lives. The most common types of discrimination reported were inappropriate jokes or insults, verbal sexual harassment, unfair access to fringe benefits, and verbal harassment based on sexual identity. Additionally, several themes emerged from open-ended questions, including firing due to bisexuality, hypersexualization of bisexual employees by others, discrimination by lesbian and gay co-workers and supervisors, and discrimination by religious persons and organizations. Despite the apparent prevalence of employment discrimination among our respondents, only six of them reported that they filed any kind of complaint, including an internal complaint. Moreover, about forty-five percent of those who did not file a complaint cited a concern that they would not get the assistance they needed as one of the reasons. This reason may itself be based on feelings of stigma."

    "In order to gain an empirical understanding of the reasons for bisexuals‟ invisibility in the legal realm, and in employment discrimination case law specifically, we decided to ask bisexuals themselves and others with fluid identities(such as those who identify as pansexual or omnisexual)33 whether they had experienced employment discrimination and whether they had sought relief of any kind. We explored these questions via an online survey that was approved by Hamline University‟s Institutional

Review Board. In designing the survey, we elected to define bisexuality in terms of sexual identity rather than solely based on either our respondents‟ reports of sexual behavior or even their reports of attraction to both sexes if coupled with a homosexual or heterosexual identity. We took this approach for several reasons. One is that we wanted to include those who have attractions to both sexes rather than focusing solely on those who have engaged in sexual behavior or have had relationships with both sexes because, in accord with the prevailing scientific view, we see attraction as more indicative of sexual orientation than sexual behavior.34 Additionally, we view identity as generally more culturally salient than the more objective concept of sexual orientation35 (and thus as a more likely basis of discrimination)."

    The university set up an non bias study on how Bisexuals were affected in their online surveys. Which shows an empirical aspect that shows discrimination can be measured. Thus people that are bisexuals who want to be counted from their discrimination have to register online surveys to be tested and measured to see what type of discrimination they experience and from who. This makes data unlike the Lesbians and Gays, Bisexuals do face more discrimination from their one community of LGBT and straight community. Empirically Studies Discrimination against Bisexuals differ compared to highly measured data of Lesbians and Gays because there is not a lot of data being produced yet.

For the LGB community there has been new empirical evidence on how mental health differs with hetrosexuals. Mental health rates of LGB are have a higher mental disorders because of discrimination they face is much higher then heterosexuals.

Discrimination and mental health

In a study that examines possible root causes of mental disorders in LGB people, Cochran and psychologist Vickie M. Mays, PhD, of the University of California, Los Angeles, explored whether ongoing discrimination fuels anxiety, depression and other stress-related mental health problems among LGB people. The authors found strong evidence of a relationship between the two.

Again using data from one of the large public health surveys, the team compared how 74 LGB and 2,844 heterosexual respondents rated lifetime and daily experiences with discrimination.

They looked at particular instances of discrimination, such as not being hired for a job or being denied a bank loan, as well as feelings of perceived discrimination, such as the sense that people treated them with less respect. The team also assessed rates of mental health disorders in both groups.

LGB respondents reported higher rates of perceived discrimination than heterosexuals in every category related to discrimination, the team found.

While the findings do not prove that discrimination causes mental health problems, they take a step toward demonstrating that the social stigma felt by LGB people has important mental health consequences. That again points to the need for tailored mental health treatment, in particular therapy that includes ongoing discussion of how discriminatory experiences may affect stress levels, they note.

Is Affirmative Action Good or Bad to Society?

     Affirmative action is know as positive discrimination is the policy of favoring member if a disadvantaged group who are perceived to suffer from discrimination within a culture. The nature of positive discrimination policies varies from region to region. Some countries, such as India, use a quota system, whereby a certain percentage of jobs or school vacancies must be set aside for member of a certain group. In some other regions, specific quotas do not exist: instead members of minorities are given preference in selection processes.

     The term "affirmative action" was first used in the United States in Executive Order and was signed by President John F. Kennedy on 6 March 1961. It was used to promote actions that achieve non- discrimination. In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued Executive Order which required government employers to take "affirmative action" to "hire without regard to race, religion and national origin." In 1967, sex was added to the anti-discrimination list.

     For this instance Affirmative Action was created by countries juridical powers. To help individuals who were not able to be hired regard to there disadvantages. Discipline Societies have consequences and rewards for how smart someone is based off their GPA, Act or Sat Test Scores, Extra Activities in regards to sports or club leader ship. Theses if the are high are part of the good binary that must college boards are looking to accept these people into their high school. Although these are factors that come into play there is more like Affirmative Action when a college choices others that are lower in levels of these binaries to have an opportunity to go to college and prosper.

Affirmative Action "Creates More Racial Injustice"  

www.youtube.com/watch



     Fisher an individual claims that her college admission was not accepted because of racism she is white and always had a dream of going to this college that is in college. Is this what our society needs, do we still have to have a self-regulation society. Yes we do because Black and Hispanic people have had disadvantages in the past and we are trying to provide help to them instead of whites. They said that she was unqualified to be accepted so, that Black or Hispanics who were unqualified as well could take the spot instead of her. Which in a way does create a reverse bias of discrimination in college admissions. George says that if you are white you are priorly judge more not be chosen because of the bias to create equality for Blacks and Hispanics.

     Having affirmative action as a standard is creating a consequences to White population that is Orwellian in a way an all seeing eye that picks and choices who they want based of race in Texas. Although Horatius claims that there must have an all watching disciplining eye because without Affirmative Action there would be no poor less educated black and Hispanics getting accepted into college instead only rich whites who are not educated as well. Affirmative Action was created to help Blacks and Hispanics that have disadvantages in America and their school systems. College's think people that don't start on the same scale deserve more acceptances over white who are privileged.

     In my Economics class we had to do an exercise in class where we read fake college admissions which were four of different students they were looking at who were the most qualifying. We in class had to organize and discuss who we believed to get accepted in over the others. They had a White Female Swimmer who was legacy, Black Female advocates for rights in a club, Hispanic Boy who worked many jobs to provide for his family and Asian Male who moved to America because his mother passed away. The White and Asian had the highest test scores and the Hispanic and Black didn't. She revealed to us who would get accepted. Although that doesn't matter because I don't remember I just remember everyone being confused wonder why would they get special treat over them? Does Affirmative Action functions it's job properly to disciplining society equality. Or does this punish a certain group of people.

    I don't know that Affirmative Action creates equality to all people, however, I still find Affirmative Action is necessary this day in age. As well I don't like that individuals seem to give up hope when not being accepted in their dream college. You don't have to complain you can still probably go to Cal State University compare to a UCLA. As well if you can't get into a Cal State you can always go to a Community College. Even if you still want to go you can get higher grades and be transfer in your dream college. A degree is a degree no matter where you receive the piece of paper.

    Your future employer is not going to hire you based off where you went to school only if your qualified and have piece a paper you worked so hard for... This is your ticket to your future career.
