Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act brought about two chief concepts of illegal discrimination. These concepts are disparate treatment and disparate impact (Harper, 2016). This section of the Civil Rights Act makes it unlawful for an employer to discriminate against an employee based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Individuals cannot lawfully be denied employment opportunities or have their employment adversely affected merely because of their race, color, religion, sex, or…

Waterloo Campaign 15th June-22nd June 1815 Napoleons army was vastly outnumbered by the allies and knew that he could not defeat these armies after they united; he had to beat them separately. As the Anglo-Dutch army, led by the Duke of Wellington, and the Prussian army, led by Field Marshal Blucher, were closest, Napoleon had to destroy them first. Napoleon began his campaign on the 15th June by leading the Armee du Nord to Belgium to return it to French rule and defeat Wellington and Blucher…

The traits of a criminal are somewhat similar when it comes to each individual in many situations. In the majority of criminal cases, there is some sort of mental stress or illness involved. This is significant because mental illness is very dangerous to go untreated and it can cause people to believe insane things they are doing are acceptable. In the cases of pedophilia, involving Father John Geoghan, he had several criminal and psychopathic traits that led him to commit numerous accounts of…

For example, if a company hired candidates solely based on their training and it could be proven that minorities had in the past been prevented from receiving such training, then the training requirements for the job were discriminatory (GRIGGS v. DUKE POWER CO., (1971)).

This became a precedent to one of…

“His deputy anointed in His sight, / Hath caused his death, the which if wrongfully, / Let heaven revenge, for I may never lift / An angry arm against his minister.” (1.2.38-41). This is the first concrete example of King Richard’s loss of power. John of Gaunt says to the Duchess of Gloucester that he refuses to exact revenge against Richard, even though Richard is probably behind the murder of his brother and her husband Gloucester, because Gaunt still believes that Richard was appointed to the…

inheritance that Bolingbroke defies his banishment in order to return and reclaim his birthright. However, unlike Richard, Bolingbroke continues to demonstrate the highest respect and understanding of the law, as he argues “As I was banished, I was banished Duke of Herford; but as I come, I come from Lancaster”.

For much of the century, the name Russia was obsolete; in its place, the communist Soviet Union took root. Prior to the communist takeover, Russia was under the control of the Romanov dynasty. This particular family was in power for nearly three centuries. However, as time pressed onward, the bloodline and ruling…

On the surface King Richard II seems a straightforward depiction of an unfit King’s steady stream towards being deposed. Shakespeare’s lack of favoritism gives a documentary point of view, yet commotional drama of a daytime soap opera. Shakespeare’s elegant style leaves some doubt for the reader to be ‘all in’ with Bolingbroke taking over despite his heroic attributes and the follies of Richard. The play opens with King Richard’s continuing follies: covers up his Gloucester’s assassination,…
