    Being a young, teenage girl in Swat Valley, Pakistan, Malala enjoyed going to school, but the safety and availability of schooling was facing a dearth once the Taliban merged in and began terrorizing schools. One day on the way to school and being held hostage by the Taliban, Malala recollects in her interview that she stood and confidently stated, “Then I would tell him [Talib] how important education is and I even want education for his children as well and I will tell him that’s what I wanted to tell you, now do what you want” (Stewart n.p.). Malala’s love and passion from school extended so far as going into confrontation with the Taliban and risking her life just to ensure and declare her rights and the rights of her fellow, female classmates to education and schooling. Malala’s efforts in expressing feminism and ensuring equal rights for girls in Swat Valley and all over the planet expanded to a point of global attention and international charities and foundations. When asked by John Stewart why she did not wait for political or humanitarian support to cease this conflict, Malala boldly rationalizes, “At that time I said why should I wait for someone else? Why should I be looking to the government, to…

    “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character” (Martin Luther King, Jr.). Throughout the history of the United States, African Americans faced countless racial segregations and discriminations from the people and from the government. After the 1950’s, African Americans thirsted in ending these racial segregations through fighting back for their civil rights with the help of African American civil rights leaders.…

    Fifty five years ago Martin Luther King Jr. stated in his famous I Have a Dream speech: “One hundred years later the life of a Negro is still badly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.” Racism has plagued this nation for hundreds of years and many unforgivable things have been done, but progress has been made and there may be a light at the end of this tunnel of racism. Although King’s words are indefinitely true, To Kill a Mockingbird, A Raisin in the Sun, and American Denial show that, through paradigm changes brought on by life-altering events, there is hope for a future where black and white people are treated equally. The beginning of a change in behavior is a change in mindset, which can be seen in To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.…

Also, it could involve minority ethnic employee being refused the training opportunities offered to white colleagues. There are laws against discrimination regarding to status of gender, marital, pregnancy, sexual orientation, disability, race, color, ethnic background, nationality, religion, and beliefs. Although, sexual orientation and gender identity have no relationship to workplace performance, during past few decades a high level of discrimination is happening in work places. In this case, Maria claims that she has become the victim of workplace discrimination by not getting promotion, being criticize for her accent, and using couple tardiness as an excuse to her obtaining lower evaluation. According to Harvey (2011), “Initially, diversity was defined by the dimensions protected under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (race, color, national origin, religion, and sex). As more legislation protecting specific groups such as people with disabilities and older workers was passed, more categories were added” (p. xii). These types of scenarios must happen frequently that we might not be aware of; however, upon inspecting this faults could expose opportunities, acceptance, determination, and acknowledgement for diverse worker groups. Importance on reducing prejudiced scenarios in corporations should be one of our top priorities due to diversity spreading among nations. The management could be making a mistake by not promoting Maria due to her belonging to another ethnic group, being prejudiced, and favoring an employee that does not well deserve.…
