What of these is most closely related to the creation of the fair employment practices committee?

The creation of the Fair Employment Practices Committee (FEPC) was closely related to the broader civil rights movement and the need to address discrimination in employment during World War II. Established in 1941 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the FEPC aimed to ensure that individuals were not denied employment opportunities based on race, color, or national origin, particularly in defense industries. This initiative was a response to pressure from civil rights activists and labor organizations advocating for equal job opportunities for African Americans and other marginalized groups.


What are some of the major pressures of assimilation into dominant US society?

Major pressures of assimilation into dominant U.S. society include the expectation to adopt the English language, which can create barriers for non-English speakers in education and employment. Cultural norms and values often prioritize individualism over collectivism, leading to the marginalization of communal identities. Additionally, there is societal pressure to conform to mainstream customs, which can erode traditional practices and beliefs. This process can lead to feelings of alienation and identity conflict among individuals from diverse backgrounds.

What are the Four phases of business cycle in economic. easy words?

A business cycle consists of four unique components, each reflecting differing levels of economic activity and the subsequent circumstances occurring during each respective stage. An expansion is where the economy is experiencing positive and increasing economic output. Employment tends to increase (unemployment falls) and there is upward pressure placed on prices (inflation rises) as output rises. A peak is reached when the economy has produced the greatest amount of output. At this point employment is generally at or near its highest level (unemployment is at its lowest level: usually below the full employment rate of approximately 5%) and prices tend to rise more rapidly (inflation accelerates). Following the peak is a recession, or contraction. During this phase output actually decreases (the rate of growth becomes negative); unemployment begins to rise and the inflationary pressure on prices fades In America, due to government involvement, prices usually don't fall, but the rate of inflation decreases). The low point of the cycle occurs next. This is known as a trough and unemployment tends to be at its peak and production at it low point. There is very little upward pressure on prices and in some cases there is downward pressure on prices (deflation). The business cycle is identified and marked by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NEBR), an independent economic "think tank".


What are two examples of industrial action?

Two examples of industrial action are strikes and work-to-rule. A strike involves employees collectively refusing to work to protest working conditions, wages, or other employment issues. Work-to-rule occurs when employees strictly follow regulations and procedures, which can slow down operations and disrupt productivity without outright stopping work. Both methods aim to exert pressure on employers to negotiate better terms.

Is uk fashion management ltd oxford circus london a scam?

I believe UKfMM commercial casting and model management is a scam, because they place adverts on gumtree for modelling jobs to entice people in which do not exist and then put young people under pressure to have a portfolio taken, for which they extract money by saying that they need this portfolio in order to foward onto clients for modelling jobs. If they are agents to represent people, for which they take a commission, then they are operating as an employment agency. As an employment agency, they must be licensed as one for which they are not. They are not even registered with AMA (Association of Model Agents) for which they should be if they are agents and take a commission.


Are teenagers the only ones vulnerable to peer pressure?

No, teenagers are not the only ones vulnerable to peer pressure. There is workplace peer pressure (at the place of employment.) There is peer pressure between the elderly and those younger than themselves (mainly relatives.) Peer pressure will always be a part of almost everyones life and each time the peer pressure must be weighed to see if it is worth telling anyone about or just let it go by the wayside. Some peer pressure can be good for another person who has lack of self esteem, but wilfully harming another person with peer pressure is wrong.

Why are megacities growing?

Megacities are growing due to factors like rural-to-urban migration, natural population increase, and economic opportunities. People are drawn to these cities for better prospects in terms of employment, education, healthcare, and overall quality of life. This influx of people puts pressure on infrastructure and services, necessitating continuous expansion and development to accommodate the growing population.


What is the job forecast for nursing?

The following is by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the job outlook for nursing.Overall job opportunities for registered nurses are expected to be excellent, but may vary by employment and geographic setting. Employment of RNs is expected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations through 2016 and, because the occupation is very large, many new jobs will result. In fact, registered nurses are projected to generate 587,000 new jobs, among the largest number of new jobs for any occupation. Additionally, hundreds of thousands of job openings will result from the need to replace experienced nurses who leave the occupation. Employment change. Employment of registered nurses is expected to grow 23 percent from 2006 to 2016, much faster than the average for all occupations. Growth will be driven by technological advances in patient care, which permit a greater number of health problems to be treated, and by an increasing emphasis on preventive care. In addition, the number of older people, who are much more likely than younger people to need nursing care, is projected to grow rapidly. However, employment of RNs will not grow at the same rate in every industry. The projected growth rates for RNs in the industries with the highest employment (in perecent)of these workers are:* Offices of physicians 39% * Home health care services 39% * Outpatient care centers, except mental health and substance abuse 34% * Employment services 27% * General medical and surgical hospitals, public and private 22% * Nursing care facilities 20%Employment is expected to grow more slowly in hospitals-health care's largest industry-than in most other health care industries. While the intensity of nursing care is likely to increase, requiring more nurses per patient, the number of inpatients (those who remain in the hospital for more than 24 hours) is not likely to grow by much. Patients are being discharged earlier, and more procedures are being done on an outpatient basis, both inside and outside hospitals. Rapid growth is expected in hospital outpatient facilities, such as those providing same-day surgery, rehabilitation, and chemotherapy. More and more sophisticated procedures, once performed only in hospitals, are being performed in physicians' offices and in outpatient care centers, such as freestanding ambulatory surgical and emergency centers. Accordingly, employment is expected to grow very fast in these places as health care in general expands. Employment in nursing care facilities is expected to grow because of increases in the number of elderly, many of whom require long-term care. However, this growth will be relatively slower than in other health care industries because of the desire of patients to be treated at home or in residential care facilities, and the increasing availability of that type of care. The financial pressure on hospitals to discharge patients as soon as possible should produce more admissions to nursing and residential care facilities and to home health care. Job growth also is expected in units that provide specialized long-term rehabilitation for stroke and head injury patients, as well as units that treat Alzheimer's victims. Employment in home health care is expected to increase rapidly in response to the growing number of older persons with functional disabilities, consumer preference for care in the home, and technological advances that make it possible to bring increasingly complex treatments into the home. The type of care demanded will require nurses who are able to perform complex procedures. Rapid employment growth in employment services industry is expected as hospitals, physician's offices, and other health care establishments utilize temporary workers to fill short-term staffing needs. And as the demand for nurses grows, temporary nurses will be needed more often, further contributing to employment growth in this industry. Job prospects.Overall job opportunities are expected to be excellent for registered nurses. Employers in some parts of the country and in certain employment settings report difficulty in attracting and retaining an adequate number of RNs, primarily because of an aging RN workforce and a lack of younger workers to fill positions. Enrollments in nursing programs at all levels have increased more rapidly in the past few years as students seek jobs with stable employment. However, many qualified applicants are being turned away because of a shortage of nursing faculty. The need for nursing faculty will only increase as many instructors near retirement. Many employers also are relying on foreign-educated nurses to fill vacant positions. Even though overall employment opportunities for all nursing specialties are expected to be excellent, they can vary by employment setting. Despite the slower employment growth in hospitals, job opportunities should still be excellent because of the relatively high turnover of hospital nurses. RNs working in hospitals frequently work overtime and night and weekend shifts and also treat seriously ill and injured patients, all of which can contribute to stress and burnout. Hospital departments in which these working conditions occur most frequently-critical care units, emergency departments, and operating rooms-generally will have more job openings than other departments. To attract and retain qualified nurses, hospitals may offer signing bonuses, family-friendly work schedules, or subsidized training. A growing number of hospitals also are experimenting with online bidding to fill open shifts, in which nurses can volunteer to fill open shifts at premium wages. This can decrease the amount of mandatory overtime that nurses are required to work. Although faster employment growth is projected in physicians' offices and outpatient care centers, RNs may face greater competition for these positions because they generally offer regular working hours and more comfortable working environments. There also may be some competition for jobs in employment services, despite a high rate of employment growth, because a large number of workers are attracted by the industry's relatively high wages and the flexibility of the work in this industry. Generally, RNs with at least a bachelor's degree will have better job prospects than those without a bachelor's. In addition, all four advanced practice specialties-clinical nurse specialists, nurse practitioners, nurse-midwives, and nurse anesthetists-will be in high demand, particularly in medically underserved areas such as inner cities and rural areas. Relative to physicians, these RNs increasingly serve as lower-cost primary care providers.
