Ethics Theory and Business- Hiring, Firing, and Discrimination. The Value of Affirmative Action and Comparable Worth in Providing Remedies for Hiring Discrimination.

Many organizations have established policies to remedy discrimination in hiring of women and minorities. Discuss whether or not you feel that affirmative action programs, reverse discrimination, and criteria of comparable worth are appropriate forms of remedy.

How is your response to this assignment consistent with your moral philosophy? Explain. If it is not consistent with that philosophy, explain why your philosophy has changed.


Solution Summary

I approach this question by looking at the "big picture." What is the meaning of employment? What is the relationship between an employer and an employee? And, what does this have to do with providing a solution to the problem? It is in this light that I deal with the potential remedies of affirmative action and comparable worth in attempting to prevent discrimination in hiring policies and practices.
