A Discussion of Workplace Discrimination
Not what you're looking for?
Please assist me with NOTES and IDEAS with getting this one started. I went with gender, racial and equal pay discrimination.
- Compose a background statement that indicates why workplace discrimination is of importance in terms of social concern or theoretical interest.
- This is important, because if workplace discrimination is not of importance in terms of theoretical interest or social concern, it likely is not worth researching and trying to resolve.
- Ask yourself why continuing to research this problem is important.
Also include why you think this is a problem and support that with rationale. You will want to state what is affected by the problem and how it is affected (beyond the population first identified in the previous assignment). Then, clearly define why this problem is important in terms of social concerns and theoretical interests specifically. Hint: Perhaps you could review theories that currently exist in research to determine which theory this research could expand upon.
This statement should be 1-3 pages with the remainder being your more detailed explanation of the problem statement with justifying documentation no more than five years old. Support your paper with a minimum of three (3) additional resources.

A person who is discriminated against experiences loss of appetite, weight loss, headaches, high blood pressure, ulcers, and loss of energy. The individual loses self-confidence, suffers from mental distress, anxiety, and insecurity.
