- 603: Disability in The Workplace
- ... Americans With Disabilities Act, the only way an employer can refuse to hire an employee based upon a disability is if that persons disability imposes an undue hardship on the operation of the employer's business. Then the question arises, what is considered an undue hardship? The Americans With Disabilities Act states that an undue hardship is any action that is considered to be in excessive cost to the employer, or if the reforms are too extensive, substantial, disruptive to the goings on of the company or anything that would substantially change the operation of the business. In addition to this, the Americans With Disabilities Act provides some information on what employers cannot do. For instance the A.D.A. states that "employers may not ask job applicants about the existence, nature ... employment position that such individual holds or desires"(Frierson, p. 106).

- 605: Affirmative Action
- Affirmative Action After the United States Congress passed the Civil Rights Act in 1964, it became apparent that certain business traditions, such as seniority status and aptitude tests, prevented total equality in employment. Then President, Lyndon B. Johnson, decided something needed to be done to remedy these flaws. On September 24, 1965, he issued Executive ... intents and purposes, discrimination, and it is a law that our government strictly enforces. Affirmative Action is not only unfair for the working man, it is extremely discriminatory toward the executive, as well. The average business executive has one goal in mind, and that is to maximize profits. To reach his goal, this executive would naturally hire the most competent Man or Woman for the job, whether they be African-American or White or any other race. Why would a business man intentionally cause his business to lose money by hiring a poorly qualified worker? Most businesses would not. With this in mind, it seems unnecessary to employ any policy that would cause him to ...

- ... numbers, bank statements and other financial and personal information transmitted over the Internet. It's hard to imagine that anyone in today's technologically oriented world could function without computers. Personal computers are linked to business computers and financial networks, and all are linked together via the Internet or other networks. More than a hundred million electronic messages travel through cyberspace every day, and every piece of information stored in a ... confidential (Regan 26). Gregory Regan, writing for Credit World, says that only certain types of tasks and features can be performed securely. Electronic banking is not one of them. "I would not recommend performing commercial business transactions," he advises "or sending confidential information across networks attached to the Internet" (26).

- 608: The NAFTA Scam

- 610: Early to Bed
- ... wise, but who can really learn that early in the morning? Who exactly is going to become wealthier as a result of going to sleep earlier and waking up earlier? I think that the average business person would become less wealthy as a result of going to bed and getting up early. It would be pointless for a company to open before the average consumer is even awake and it would be foolish to miss out on business due to closing early so one's employees could get to bed early. I suppose that if one were a cat burglar one might become more wealthy by conducting business while most of the world is still in asleep, but I think most of the world would miss out on business by having hours that conflicted with the rest of the world's. Early ...
