Question

_____ refers to intentional discrimination that occurs when people are purposely not given the same hiring, promotion, or membership opportunities as other employees because of their race, color, age, sex, ethnic group, national origin, or religious beliefs.

a) Glass ceiling
b) Affirmative action
c) Disparate treatment
d) Equal employment opportunity

Answer 1

Disparate treatment is the intentional discrimination in employment against individuals based on characteristics such as race, gender, or religion, leading to unequal opportunities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The term that refers to intentional discrimination wherein individuals are not given equal opportunities in employment settings due to their race, color, age, gender, ethnic group, national origin, or religious beliefs is known as disparate treatment.

This type of employment discrimination is evident when employees with the same qualifications, such as education, experience, and skills, receive different treatment, often resulting in variations in pay or job opportunities. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 deems it unlawful to discriminate in matters of employment on these bases.
