Question


Philadelphia was a great movie for many reasons but I think the nuanced performance of Denzel Washington can be underappreciated. His character changes through the movie. What was the role of employment law in this change? What is the value of the laws that allowed the Tom Hanks character legal recourse? We have seen dramatic changes in society's view of HIV, AIDs and homosexuality. How does employment law impact long-term change? Would those who came after have it easier than the main character? Why? Does "familiarity breed contempt" or evolve into tolerance and acceptance? Remember to respond to the posts of two classmates.

Explanation / Answer

Whether you are entering the job market for the first time or were recently terminated, it is important to understand your rights as a worker. Both federal and state governments have enacted a wide range of employment laws protecting employees from discriminatory treatment, unfair labor practices, unsafe work conditions, and more.

Discrimination and harassment in the workplace can come in many forms. And although such misconduct can sometimes be overt, such as the use of racial slurs or denial of advancement opportunities, it can also be subtle or even concealed. Discrimination occurs when a member is treated differently than her peers.
