This discussion board post will take the form of a debate about
the meaning and role of equality and diversity in workplace
policies. For this debate, you will need to read the assigned
readings and do some additional searches online. What you will
debate is the following: what role should diversity play in a
company’s policies regarding hiring, promotion, and termination?
The rules are as follows: Team assignments:
I am “team for equality of opportunity
only”
• If your last name begins with letters A - M, you are on
“team for equality of opportunity only”
• If your last name begins with letters N - Z, you are on “team
for equality of opportunity and equality of outcome” I am on "team
for equality of opportunity only” Points of agreement between the
teams
1. Both teams agree that discrimination based on race/ethnicity,
sex, nationality, etc. is wrong and that policies need to be put in
place to prevent discrimination as well as to address it wherever
it arises.
2. Both teams agree on equality of opportunity, i.e. that people
from diverse ethnic/racial backgrounds, nationalities, and both
sexes (male/female) should have equality of opportunity. So, it’s
not that one team believes that there should be equal opportunity
but the other team does not. Rather, both teams agree on equality
of opportunity. Points of disagreement between the teams:
3. Where the team disagrees is whether there should also be
equality of outcome. The first team needs to argue against equality
of outcome, whereas the second team needs to argue for equality of
outcome. This is the debate topic.
