Gender discrimination is quite pervasive in our society. Schools, childcare institutions, family, media, and other societal institutions transmit and preserve stereotypes regarding women and men. In the Western societies, conventional gender traits are frequently related to power – men and their specific activities are classified as influential, public oriented, important, brave, productive, strong, outgoing, and having increased value, social recognition, and monetary rewards. On the other hand, it is widely believed that the main traits of women include; family-oriented, caring, dependent, and passive.…

Racial profiling is most of the time suspected by police officers and there have been many protests regarding this issue. But many people believe it doesn’t even exist anymore. Racial profiling still exists because there is a more significant amount of incarcerated blacks than any other race, Muslims get searched more than any other race at airports, and because One reason why racial profiling still exists is because there is a significant amount of incarcerated blacks than any other race. Blacks are stopped more frequently for minor things, such as a broken taillight, and are more likely to go to jail because of something like this. According to the NAACP, “blacks are incarcerated at more than 5 times the rate of whites”.…
Working with many difference cultures can be a great learning experience for us in our practice. Workplace diversity allows nurses with differences and similarities to share their knowledge and skills to meet the goals of their organization (Andrews & Boyle, 2016). In my practice I have worked with nurses from many different cultures. This experience has given me different perspectives and offered other options for problem solving. It has definitely had a positive effect on my nursing practice. When patients see this collaborative work environment, that builds their trust in the care they are receiving. Especially, if the patient is from a different culture.…
Racial profiling, the stereotypical cop vs anyone that isn’t white scenario, is happening in every back alley, ghetto, and high profile neighborhood across the nation. For those of you who don't know racial profiling is when someone is stopped for no reason other than the color of his or her skin. Unfortunately, in forty-six states racial profiling happens to have unclear laws or no data about the person is required to stop them, which is more than half the country even though it promotes stereotypes, isn't reliable, and causes psychological harm (Racial Profiling in America).…
The judging of an individual’s character by their race did not become relevant because of the Rodney King beating, the attacks on the World Trade Center, or the illegal aliens crossing the Mexican border. Racial Discrimination has been a reoccurring issue for centuries. Throughout time, these judgments and discriminations have led to unwarranted searches, racial riots and unjust prosecutions. Racial Profiling not only adds to this overwhelming issue but is upheld by the U.S. government and prominent leaders. Racial profiling has caused divisions between black men and the police, negative effects on immigration and race relations, and false imprisonment, further proving that racial profiling is not defensible public policy.…

Racial profiling occurs anywhere in work, schools, and also by police officers.

Given the literature reviewed, there are three things that are clear. First, Racial profiling is real. Many media channels claim that there is no substance behind it. Yet, although it is real, it has not yet garnered the scholarly consideration it deserves. Current studies of racial profiling almost exclusively focus on one facet of African American lives, driving. Considering that most people, including minorities, spend considerable amounts of time in retail institutions, it seems that a rich area of potential research has gone unnoticed or has received less notice due to its connection to private security, which is probably the least studied zone of criminal justice. There are a few likely directions for future racial profiling research.…
It is important for managers to be educated on diversity, and have an understanding of the differences in their workforce’s population, because it will improve performance potential and increase employee satisfaction. There are numerous benefits to valuing diversity. With each unique combination of gender, ethnic background, culture, and life experiences, each person brings a different set of strengths, skill sets, and approaches to problems. According to Bell, (2007) , “Valuing diversity can benefit organizations in the areas of cost, resource acquisition, marketing, creativity, problem solving, and system flexibility”. An employee’s satisfaction is much higher when they feel accepted and valued for their unique qualities.…
Racial Profiling is a controversial practice that targets individuals based on ethnicity, race, or religion. Muslims are often labeled as terrorists, Latin Americans are labeled as illegal immigrants, and African Americans are labeled as gang members. Whether you are a person of color or not, racial profiling has set a barrier between how we view each other and challenges us to see what values we have as people. Based off of current racial profiling events, has America improved since the civil rights movement or are we repeating history?…
This sense of pride in diversity has led the nation to where it is today. It is important to identify various dimensions of workplace diversity. The first dimension involves primary levels of diversity. That is, people with disabilities, gender, race, color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, creed, religion, and age are primary dimensions of diversity. These basic groups require the greatest degree of management dexterity and attention because they play an important part in workforce interrelationships and communication. These areas are also more prone to conflicts and negative reactions among employees. Managers must recognize that there is a need to train, inform, and sensitize their employees to deal with issues relating to this type of diversity. Consequently, managers must recognize the…
