A black firefighter alleges that each time he is transferred from one fire station to another, he must take his bed with him, on orders of the fire chief. The chief defends on the basis that it is a legitimate decision because white firefighters would not want to sleep in the same bed in which a black firefighter slept. Is this illegal under Title VII? Explain. [Georgia newspaper article.]

Expert Solution

Yes, it is an illegal practice under Title VII. Title VII protects the employees from any discriminatory practices by their employer on the basis of their caste, color, gender, nation, and beliefs. Any such discrimination leads to punishment by the court of law. In the given case, a black firefighter was asked to carry his own bed by the fire chief. The fire chief told him that no white firefighter would want to share his bed with a black firefighter. It is a clear violation of Title VII. The fire chief can be made liable for following discriminatory practices against his employees.

The exact point in time at which an individual transitions from one developmental phase to another (for example, middle childhood to adolescence) is often assigned somewhat arbitrarily. In fact, even developmental scientists/authors don't always agree on "where" the lines between these artificial constructs fall. If you were given the task to defend why a particular child had moved solidly into adolescence, what would be the 3 most important non-physical areas of development you would examine to make the decision (i.e.,...

Mio was transferred from New York to Germany. He lived and worked in Germany for 347 days in 2019. Mio's salary for 2019 is $228,800. Assume a 365-day year. In your computation, round any division to four decimal places before converting to a percentage. For example, 0.473938 would be rounded to 0.4739. If required, round your final answer to the nearest dollar. What is Mio’s foreign earned income exclusion?

On a spacecraft two engines fire for a time of 591 s. One gives the craft an acceleration in the x direction of ax = 5.17 m/s2, while the other produces an acceleration in the y direction of ay = 7.30 m/s2. At the end of the firing period, the craft has velocity components of vx = 3728 m/s and vy = 4812 m/s. Calculate the magnitude of the initial velocity.
