Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Sociology - Individual, Groups, Society, Bowie State University, language: English, abstract: In spite of overcoming adversity, segregation and hate, minorities are still discriminated against in the work place. This review looks into how disparate treatment and disparate impact speaks to how the theories assist claims of discrimination from employer to applicant. Results revealed that there is a screening process that examines the hiring practices and notions of equal employment opportunity without discrimination. On the contrast to disparate impact, disparate treatment prohibits employers from treating employees or applicants differently because of their membership in a protected class. This review explores various forms of discrimination towards minorities albeit statistical wage or gender.
