John identifies as a Hispanic employee in a private sector organization. He is regularly called an "idiot" by his supervisor. The supervisor has hardly ever called non-Hispanic employees derogatory names. Finally, the supervisor starts calling John an inflammatory name that is known to be derogatory to Hispanics. John now finds his work environment intolerable though his supervisor has no intention to demote or fire John for any reason. John, however, wants to file a discrimination complaint against his employer. He went to his HR department first, but was dissatisfied with their lack of help.

Prepare a 700 word paper written in the third person voice in which you analyze and explain the discrimination complaint and civil litigation process as it would potentially apply to John and his employer.

• What are the elements of a hostile work environment harassment claim?
• Can John potentially satisfy the elements of a hostile work environment harassment claim?

Identify whether John can make a prima facie case of hostile work environment by identifying the elements required to bring a cause of action for discrimination.

Explain how the complaint process begins with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and proceeds with a right-to-sue letter through the civil litigation process from the state level up to the U. S. Supreme Court.

Include a discussion on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other relevant aspects addressing discrimination complaints and disputes in the workplace.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines, including using headings to appropriately signal topics to keep your document organized.

Use a minimum of three different in-text citation sources within your paper, and properly identify them in your References page. Any laws and legal cases used in the body of your paper must also be included in the References page.
