Question

A firm had been sued and found guilty of religious discrimination against people who practiced Judaism, and managers were instructed to be very careful to avoid another similar suit. To that end, Jewish employees, but not others, were given raises. Of the following, what is the most correct assessment of this policy? a.the policy is sound, both legally and ethicallyb.the policy is sound legally, but not ethicallyc.the policy is neither legally nor ethically soundd.none of these

Answer 1

Answer: c.the policy is neither legally nor ethically sound

Step-by-step explanation:

You cannot reply discrimination with reverse discrimination because it is still discrimination. What the company just did was to pay Jews more money simply because they were Jews or rather people who practice Judaism and pay those who don't practice it less. That is not ethical because it is discrimination in the work place

The US Constitution holds that all people be treated equal and paying people different amounts owing to their ethnicity contravenes the Constitution and is therefore illegal.

Even if they had good intentions at heart, what they did was illegal, unethical and can even be considered bribery to get back on the good side of the people practicing Judaism.
