Sample Solution
Discrimination can be expressed through “harassment,” when a boss, supervisor, or co-worker says or does something that creates an intimidating, hostile or threatening work environment. Sexual harassment is a form of discrimination and a human rights violation. Under the laws enforced by EEOC, it is illegal to discriminate against someone (applicant or employee) because of that person`s race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. It is also illegal to retaliate against a person because he or she complained about discrimination, filed a charge of discrimination, or participate in an employment discrimination investigation or lawsuit. The law forbids discrimination in every aspect of employment.
s used to generate data describing congressional activity related to wild swine. FDsys is an official repository of all official publications from all three branches of the United States Federal Government and currently contains over 7.4 million electronic documents from 1969 to present. Our search included congressional hearings, congressional record, congressional reports, bills, and changes to the code of federal regulations from 1985 until 2013 when the APHIS National Feral Swine Damage Management Program was established. Documents included in our study contained any of the following terms: ‘feral swine’, ‘feral hog’, or ‘feral pig’, ‘wild swine’, ‘wild hog’, or ‘wild pig’. Each document was considered an independent policy action, and the number of documents by year was tallied to generate count data by document type, primary agricultural commodity (livestock or crop) the document addressed, and year. Our method may have included documents which were not specifically addressing wild swine related policy; to evaluate this assumption a 5% random sample was taken and the documents were classified as addressing wild swine related policy or not. Based on the results of this assessment we assumed that if the document contained reference to wild swine the issue of wild swine was either on the policy agenda or influencing the agenda in some way.
For our purposes we are interested in the cumulative influence of article tone and media sources. In order to produce a measure of this annual cumulative article tone we generated the annual mean tone. This was then multiplied by the number of articles published in the year and by the number of sources creating two predictor variables describing the annual tone for media sources (source tone) and the annual tone for articles (article tone). Classification of newspaper headlines and generation of the media tone indi
