James is an African American heterosexual male who is also a counselor at a community mental-health center. Though James does not outwardly reject others with different sexual orientations, he is not empathetic toward people struggling with sexual identity issues. James feels that homosexuality is morally wrong and against his religious beliefs. However, James understands that as a counselor he must not discriminate against anyone – including sexual minorities. Clarence, a new client, has revealed that he is homosexual and is having difficulty admitting his sexual orientation to his family and others close to him. Clarence has also states he fears being rejected by his church congregation. He states that being abandoned by the church would further “shame his family” but admits that he cannot keep his life a secret anymore. He wants James’s help to embrace his homosexuality and live without shame.
Respond to the following:

For James to genuinely help Clarence, what issues does James need to address at a personal level to refrain from being judgmental of Clarence?

Is it possible for James to be objective enough to help Clarence work toward his goals? Why or why not?

In 2002, discount stores such as Kohl's, Target, and Wal-Mart were recording strong sales, while Kmart Corp.--the granddaddy of them all declared bankruptcy. Several factors contributed to the downfall, but one of the biggest is that Kmart didn't compete on price, a failure some attribute to its inability to master supply-chain technology and, consequently, benefit from supply-chain efficiencies. For instance, unlike Kmart, Wal-Mart used E-business system to regularly communicate sales and inventory data from every store to thousands of suppliers and buyers and deploy a private trading hub to consolidate its purchasing globally and bring suppliers online to bid on contracts--all part of a plan to lower costs and pass on savings. Promotions almost never caused problems for Wal-Mart because of its tight links with suppliers. As a result, Kmart's consumers often found that the sales merchandise and/or merchandise that were part of a promotion, was often out of stock when they reached the store.
