Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    Taylor has a career in construction. When she applies for a job with a new construction company, the hiring manager who looked at her resume calls her to schedule an interview, but does not hire her after learning she is a woman. This is an example of which of the following?

    • Lifestyle adjustment and work-life balance

    • Economic impact

    • Stereotyping and discrimination

    • Poor working conditions

    Correct Answer
    A. Stereotyping and discrimination
    Explanation
    This scenario is an example of stereotyping and discrimination. The hiring manager's decision not to hire Taylor solely based on her gender demonstrates a prejudiced belief that women are not suitable for careers in construction. This is a clear case of stereotyping, where assumptions and generalizations about a particular group of people influence decision-making. Discrimination is also evident as Taylor is being treated unfairly and denied employment opportunities based on her gender.

    Which government agency enforces laws concerning workplace discrimination?

    • Commission on Civil Rights

    • Access Board

    • Securities and Exchange Commission

    • Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

    Correct Answer
    A. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
    Explanation
    The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is the government agency responsible for enforcing laws concerning workplace discrimination. They work to ensure that individuals are not discriminated against based on their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information. The EEOC investigates complaints, conducts mediation, and takes legal action against employers who violate these laws. They play a crucial role in promoting equal employment opportunities and protecting workers from discrimination in the workplace.

    Which of the following does NOT contribute to determining a person's lifestyle?

    • Culture

    • Values

    • Gender

    • Work habits

    Correct Answer
    A. Gender
    Explanation
    Gender is not a determining factor in a person's lifestyle because lifestyle is primarily influenced by factors such as culture, values, and work habits. Gender refers to the social and cultural roles, behaviors, and expectations associated with being male or female, but it does not directly dictate or determine a person's lifestyle choices and preferences.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which of the following does NOT affect the economy?

    • Generational changes

    • Natural disasters

    • Monetary factors

    • Work-life balance

    Correct Answer
    A. Work-life balance
    Explanation
    Work-life balance refers to the equilibrium between one's personal and professional life. While it is an important aspect of individual well-being, it does not directly impact the overall economy. Generational changes, such as shifts in demographics and consumer behavior, can have significant effects on the economy. Natural disasters can lead to economic disruptions, causing damage to infrastructure and affecting industries. Monetary factors, such as interest rates and inflation, influence economic growth and stability. However, work-life balance, although crucial for individuals, does not have a direct impact on the broader economy.
