For this week's article, I choose to talk about Employment Discrimination and the Civil Rights Act mentioned in our book in chapter 21. I found an interesting article about the protections Against Discrimination and Other Prohibited Practices. The article informs us about the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Civils Rights of 1991 (“Protections Against Discrimination and Other Prohibited Practices,” 2019). According to our book “the year after the Equal Pay Act was passed, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VII of this act is the most common basis for lawsuits premised on discrimination because it covers a broader area of potential claimants than does either of the statutes that were discussed previously. Title VII prohibits employers from (1) hiring, firing, or otherwise discriminating in terms and conditions of employment and (2) segregating employees in a manner that would affect their employment opportunities based on their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. These five categories are known as protected classes” (Kubasek, N. K., Brennan, B. A., & Browne, M. N., 2017). Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, as amended, protects employees and job applicants from employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. Title VII protection covers the full spectrum of employment decisions, including recruitment, selections, terminations, and other decisions concerning terms and conditions of employment (“Protections Against Discrimination and Other Prohibited Practices,” 2019). The next major piece of federal legislation to address the problem of discrimination was the Equal Pay Act of 1963, an amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act. Enacted at a time when the average wages of women were less than 60 percent of those of men, the act was designed with a very narrow focus: to prevent wage discrimination based on sex within a business establishment. It was designed primarily to remedy the situations in which women, working alongside men or replacing men, were being paid lower wages for doing substantially the same job (Kubasek, N. K., Brennan, B. A., & Browne, M. N., 2017). According to the article, The Equal Pay Act of 1963 is protecting men and women from sex-based wage discrimination in the payment of wages or benefits, who perform substantially equal work in the same establishment as mentioned in our book (“Protections Against Discrimination and Other Prohibited Practices,” 2019).

Q.2 write the reply for this article (you can write agree and add another example with references.
This is still a prevalent and ongoing issue that is seen in today's society.
While there are many examples, I would like to present the case Kraszewski, et al. v. State Farm Insurance Co.
This case was a statewide gender discrimination case that was filed in the state of California.
The claim being made was that over a 15 year period, women were being rejected and/or deterred from applying to State Farm Insurance sales as sales agents.
The outcome of this particular case resulted in, "extensive injunctive relief that dramatically increased the number of female State Farm agents. The parties subsequently resolved the claims for monetary relief for $250 million."
