A) Given the debates about Affirmative Action over the last several years, do you believe that Affirmative Action is reverse discrimination or is Affirmative Action reversing discrimination? Explain. B) Women are underrepresented on boards of directors is an understatement. In the United States, only 16 percent of board members among the Fortune 500 are women. Among the 100 largest companies in Great Britain, women hold approximately 12 percent of board seats, a representation that has changed little over the past 5 years. In the European Union (EU) more generally, only 9.7 percent of the directors of the 300 largest companies are women. In China and India, the figure is roughly half that. In response to such underrepresentation, many countries have enacted laws and guidelines. French law stipulates that corporate boards must be 20 percent female by 2014. A 2011 official British government report recommended that women make up at least 25 percent of the boards of the largest British companies. Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands, Norway, Iceland, and Italy have similar “pink quotas” in place, and Sweden is recommending 50 percent representation. Do you agree with the quotas established in many EU countries? Why or why not? Chapter 3 C) In your experience, what attributes to job satisfaction? As discussed in your text, do you agree with "Happy workers means happy profits?" Discuss
