Discrimination Laws

In the first part of your initial post, you will need to introduce
the Abercrombie & Fitch lawsuit. In this introduction, you will also
need to (1) articulate the freedoms that companies in the United States
enjoy given our relatively-free market system and (2) present the Title
VII regulations concerning employment discrimination. These will
provide the setting for you to be able to examine how the nation’s laws
affect the hiring practices of Abercrombie & Fitch and other
companies whose hiring policy includes a particular aesthetic for
employees.
In the second part of your initial post, present your analysis of
this case in a way that identifies which entities (Abercrombie &
Fitch as a corporation, the economic system in the USA, the regulatory
control of the state, or all of these) have a role in the problem that
led to the lawsuit under examination. In your analysis, you must assess
the positive or negative effects of the interplay between business
activity and one of the following: the free-market system, advertising,
hiring regulations, or corporate social responsibility. Your focus must
be an ethical analysis of this interplay. Be sure to clearly identify
the ethical theory that you are applying in your analysis, and to
support your analysis by reliable and/or scholarly sources. Your initial post should be at least 350 words in
length and have citations and references in APA notation. It should
address the prompt in its entirety. This means that you should not split
your response to the prompt in multiple posts. Your examination should
be both thorough and succinct. This is a combination that demands time
and thought, so give yourself sufficient time to draft and revise.
