Discussion Thread: Business Employment Decisions

Post a thread of at least 600 words (content, not including references). analysis must be supported with a minimum of 2 scholarly sources 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.

For this discussion:

Review the material throughout Chapter 24 of our text on hiring, firing, and other employment decisions, including Biblical worldview perspectives; then, consider the question in the Point/Counterpoint on p. 616 (E-book p. 288): Should employers be permitted to use social media in hiring and/or firing decisions? Include legal, social, and Biblical perspectives in your analysis.

Title your thread "Yes" or "No" to indicate your conclusion.
