Discussion Assignment Instructions
Thread:
Review the case study from last week’s Paper: Business Formation Assignment.
Part 1: Hiring
For this discussion thread, explain your analysis and conclusions on hiring Kelsey and Carlos as employees (not including them as partners or co-owners). Focus on the legal issues of including race, religion, and other protected classes in your hiring decisions. We already know Kelsey is a Christian and Carlos is not; assume Shania and Kelsey are Black while Carlos is Hispanic.
If your paper last week addressed these specific questions, you may use that section of your paper as the basis of your answer to Part 1 of this thread.
Part 2: Promotion
Now assume that Shania’s coffeehouse has become so successful that she has 20 employees and needs to promote someone to be the night shift supervisor. The employee base is quite diverse and Shania wants to include diversity in her promotion decision to demonstrate how inclusive her business is. Explore the legal, Biblical, and ethical issues if Shania makes her promotion decision entirely on that basis. What are her options?
student will first post a thread of at least 600 words (content, not including references)
For each thread and reply, analysis must be supported with a minimum of 2 scholarly sources and 1 Biblical other than the course textbook and provided materials. Each source must be cited in current APA format. Each thread and each reply must include both full citations in a reference list at the end of each post, and short-form in-text citations.
Acceptable sources include books, legal and business journals, legal cases, the law (cases, statutes, regulations, etc.), the Bible, biblical commentary, etc. Dictionaries and other web sources that lack scholarly support are not acceptable sources. Any sources cited must be current to the issue (e.g., Bible commentaries may by applicable from any age, but articles discussing current legal practices may no longer be relevant after 2 or 5 years).
A well-developed, complete worldview analysis of the situation requires more than simply adding a Bible verse at the end of the post. Each thread and each reply must include at least 1 verse from Scripture, quoted and applied as an integral part of the discussion of the applicable issues in the context of a Biblical worldview.
Copy/paste the content of your posts; do not use attachments, which will not be accepted or graded.
