America \u2013Freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly and petition.\u00a0 Passed by congress September 1789 and now over 220 years later those same rights are still in existence.\u00a0 It\u2019s why many people have come to love this country, cherishing the uniqueness of America\u2019s population and appreciating the remarkable differences that add a bit of flair.<\/p>\n
So why can\u2019t everyone recognize that no matter how diverse this country continues to remain, we can still all live harmoniously? \u00a0Since the Sept 11, attacks, numbers continue to increase reflecting how many Americans refuse to trust Muslims<\/a>. Attacks on Muslim people are five times higher now than prior to 9\/11. Approximately \u00a046% of Americans believe that Islam is more likely than other religions to encourage violence among its believers and four out of ten Americans have an unfavorable view of the religion; that\u2019s roughly half of individuals in this nation that carry a negative impression of an entire group of people. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is a federal agency that governs civil rights laws against workplace discrimination. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination in the workplace based on the hiring, firing, wages, promotions, job assignments, training, layoffs, benefits and any other terms when it comes to a job applicant or an employee.\u00a0 It also protects those who are married to someone or associated with an organization of a particular religion.<\/p>\n All of the above scenarios are just a few examples of unfair treatment based on the beliefs of an individual and the garments that clothe a person. Morgan Freeman once said, \u201cThere is no bad religion, only bad people.\u201d\u00a0 We should all aim to live our lives in accordance with this phrase. Employers are legally obligated to adhere to the laws of the E.E.O.C. but more importantly, integrity is a character that every individual is entitled to receive until they demonstrate otherwise.\u00a0 So why not put aside prejudice and bigotry; to instead extend the gifts of kindness and impartiality?<\/p>\n If so, you may be feeling a range of different emotions in addition to not knowing where to turn.\u00a0 You may not know or understand the laws that have been set up to protect you from acts of discrimination. <\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" America \u2013Freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly and petition.\u00a0 Passed by congress September 1789 and now over 220 years later those same rights are still in existence.\u00a0 It\u2019s why many people have come to love this country, cherishing the uniqueness of America\u2019s population and appreciating the remarkable differences that add a bit of flair.
