  • Discussion: Dr. Webster, in the passage of Kavalier & Clay, what Deasey was doing is victimizing the ideal of the two artist denying them a future in the business of productions of comic books. When I looked at the article on page (286). I first through that Deasey was giving them advice of experience of the art world. From what he said “This kind of work is a graveyard of every kind of ambition, Kavalier.” Analyzing “Whatever you may hope to accomplish, whether form the standpoint of art or out of… other considerations, you will fail.”(286).I got that all determination and struggles is what this job does is to make money want make money. People does not look at this profession as a real market in art. But, now Deasey is acting arrogant a being vlogger insisting that Kavalier a Clay didn’t have what it takes to make it in the art world. Deasey said, “I have very little faith in the power of art, but I remember the flavor of the faith, if you will, from when I was your age; the taste of it on the back of my tongue.”(286). Kavalier was waiting his whole life for a chance at expressing his feeling about the Nazis and the escaping of the cultural artifacts from Prague, he is not about to listen to the disappointments of Deasey. I feel the great struggles of being a artist on your own with this production but Kavalier can’t stop the progression of expressing of the events in Prague from Germany letting the world know what faith he has with freedom. “Out of respect for you and the graceful idiot I once was, I concede the point, but this…Powerless… Useless.”(286). It seems that Deasey have tried to express what transpired in history like what Kavalier is doing now. Changing the belief of the hopeless minded people, letting adults and youths dare to imagine what dreams are like. Fighting with paint and drawing with words of courage.  Speaking with the voice of the new age. I like the challenge and glad that Kavalier fills he need to take his art to the next level. These are his journal in the works of his art and to stop then he will not follow the dreams he have made.

  •  Compare to the guide lines of the Comics Code would have noticed that some pictorial dealt with some rating violation. In General Standard Part A were it states, “Policemen, judges, Government officials and respected institutions shall never be presented in such a way as to create disrespect for established authority (3).” General Striker was a government military personal and this Marvel Movie would have violated the Comics Code. The action he had taken was violent.  The Torture of Magneto in the Alkin institution would count for kidnaping and criminal act against a person. Like the General Standard Act A number 10, “The crime of kidnapping shall never be portrayed in any detail nor shall profit accrue to the abductor or kidnaper. The criminal or the kidnaper must be punished in every case.” I would say this is a close pictorial to this issue. This movie has a lot of gun play and knife stabbing so pretty much rated R movie. But the movie was design for the adult fantasy person. It would be suggested to strong adult graphics marvel comic readers.
  • What if ‘Striker’ had succeed in saving all the mutants and even his only child in the movie X2 changing their abilities to normal human beings. Because most mutant wanted to be only nornmal and have a chance at a decent life. With this Charles Xavier and William Striker with the government could work together to fix all the mutants. Then the Cerebral mind controling  machine to find mutants would have been affective. General Striker would have become a aid to society leading justice and medical merical. The President orders would have been a humantiary one. Then this film would have been watched by a younger generation and become a family movie were the government safe the day.  Thank you.

 Home Depot’s Bumpy Road to Equality

In the Chapter Case is Home Depot morally wrong in its ethical approach of hiring employee’s practices. We read that Home Depot treated applicants differently bases on race and sex in hiring for position available at this company. Home Depot’s has developed a worldwide builder emporium with the goals of having a store in every local community. Bob Nardelli Corporation has pledge to have a “store within 30 minutes of every customer in the United States.” (Text139). Leaving open the door of more than 50,000 employees. This has legalities that women and minority in the labor force be able to be hired in position of equal workforce utilizing its employees. Which brings the question to what type of discrimination did we have in the case of Home Depot lawsuit. The Discrimination states that while applicable some minorities in the position of hiring was not hire and the position was left open and people with equal qualifying was hired. Under Disparate Treatment “Whenever an individual is treated differently based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin, age, and disability status.”(Text 114). The plaintiff’s burden proved and met the plaintiff’s protection group and applied for and qualified for the job. Despite possessing the qualification the plaintiff was rejected. After rejection the position stayed open and the position was either filled by a man or equal qualifying applicant. Bob Nardelli Home Depot states “disparity by noting that most female job applicants have experience as cashiers, they are placed in cashier positions; most male applicants express an interest in or aptitude for home repair work such as carpentry or pluming.” (Text 139).The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission could prove that a majority of women was by passed for the positon in the lumber floor and hardware because of the fact that they are women and better at cashiers, the lumber, electrical and hardware was filled with 70% male, and the front office was filled with 70% women. If this is the discrimination that is being lead at the front office then maybe minority applicants were not getting a fair attempt at employment.  

Looking at R.L Craig “Systemic discrimination in employment and promotion of ethnic equality.” “A number of countries has used a paired-testing or situational testing.” People in regard of sex, race or religion in this case study we observe the applicant that indicating the ethnic discrimination of the unequal treatment of qualifying people.  “The testing methodology and results are easily understood by policymakers.”(Craig). Results show that when mostly interaction with customers there are discrimination in the hiring. “Steering people to less desirable alternatives.” (Craig). The Gender and Management by Dr. Fielden, The Equal Employment Opportunity in Australia compare to the United States have led from the 1960s to change for an equal pay wage, then in 1975, and Anti-discrimination legislation at a federal level. The EEO introduced “affirmative action,” (AA). In research the Australia has study Equal Opportunity for Women Act of 1986.

“…is about achieving equal employment opportunity for women… [And] to

Achieve this goal, the barriers in the work place which restrict employment a

And promotion opportunities for women have to be systematically eliminated.” (Fielden, D.S. 2004).

The United States Reconstruction Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1871 eradicated Slavery, and created the Equal Pay Act of 1963, and amendment of the Fair Labor Standard Act. The major legislation regulating equal employment opportunity of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Age Discrimination Employment Act passed in 1967, and amended in 1986. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 enforced affirmative action. Women Pregnancy Discrimination Act was able to reach accommodation in the work force with EEOC. Passed laws of Executive order 11246 that created the Affirmative Action in hiring minorities’ women, a fair workforce effort in this country. The Civil Rights Act of 1991; prohibits discrimination just like Title VII law. Home Depot lawsuit came with the cost to improve its company with automotive hiring. This electronic screening of applicant eliminated good chances of discrimination and the favoritism in hiring people. Bob Nardelli spent 10 Million dollars on this machine that will prevent 900 store for discriminating against hirers. The level of minority has increase in the management department by 28%, and women management has increase by 30% in the workforce.  Home Depot made extra effort to repair their damage reputation. They paid an agreed settlement of 65 million dollars to the women and promise to better their hiring practices.  Bob Nardelli worked on recruitment by keeping any active military duty personal on staff by having and “orange apron,” when they return home. Patriotic jester by Home Depot may have save many of server personal job by having a position waiting when they return State- side. Home Depot did much to help their image and may have grown to fast in staff. This foresight may have wow the share-holders but the community identified that unfair treatment was practices.

Cut to the Segment of Superman in the film of the "New Frontier," by Dawryn Cooke, he address the call for togetherness towards a group of security protectors. The Military standing ready to shoot the mask hooded superheroes and the superheroes ready to react and fight. Comparing in Kennedy’s speech at the democratic convention of the "New Frontier," he also means to deliver a call for unity. Kennedy said that the new era is here (50’s and 60’s), for the changing, by creating a desire for peace for us to survive in. Cooke’s New Frontier address what Superman said “that because we are different and have special ability we all fight for the same purpose and that is prosperity and freedom.”(Cooke). But in the movie they had to come together and defeat the “Center,” a cult foreseen entity that want’s to destroy the future of all the human race. So what Superman speech did was unified these forces to take on the powers of that foe a floating dinosaur island.
It will take everyone together to change the enter thoughts of bigotry and ignorance in Kennedy address mentioning to be a pioneer of the new time, and era is a challenge for yourselves and it will take all of use as a unity to do it. He mention that to do this it will not be just about “Democrats or Republicans but American people together. For the ‘new world to be Strong and Free,’” (Kennedy).we have to leave behind the Nuclear Bombs and the war that separate are Countries. Kennedy says lead and do it vigorously “Uncharted area of science and space undiscouraged area of peace and more of ignorance and prejudices unanswered question of poverty.”(Kennedy) Gives fear to people who are scare of changes. To come out of the box like the Alien helping the American Scientist it take two to have the will for changes and the heart to make changes. Superman said it best “I’m and alien and I can get out of that box what make you think that he can’t, he’s and alien just like me.” (Cooke). “All battles are not won and all battles not all are set free.” (Kennedy). So make the best effort to be humane and look of answer to solve questions. Working together the Center is defeated and the JLA is created.
