  • The Lynne Gobbell Case

    1142 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Lynne Gobbell case demonstrates that many people are not in favor of the purest form of freedom of speech. In this case, Lynne had a ‘Kerry for President’ sticker on her bumper, and although no harm came from this, her boss erupted and demanded she remove the sticker. After denying such a ridiculous request, she was fired immediately. In my opinion, this is outrageous because she was not causing anyone harm, and it affected nothing. People should be able to stand up for what they believe in, and should be able to freely represent what they stand for. Decorating vehicles should never have a negative impact on another person. For example, as a die-hard Dallas Cowboys football fan, I do not start breaking windows when I see other vehicles representing the San Francisco Forty Niners. I may not agree with what they represent, but I will gladly respect their opinions and continue to think freely while cheering for what I believe in. Mills’ harm principle suggests that the actions of individuals should only be limited to prevent harm to other individuals. It is easy to recognize that Lynne is not harming anyone, but instead she is the one being harmed; thus Mill’s would side with Lynne in a heartbeat. Karl Marx’s views on this case do not differ too much on this case as his ideas and beliefs would favor Lynne. His critiques of alienated labor and bourgeois freedom show how badly workers can be treated, as he believes workers tend to be taken for granted and treated badly by the upper class. Marx believes there are many different types of alienated labor and all affect workers in a variety of different ways. Marx and Lynne would both have defended Lynne if they were given such an opportunity to do so.

In crisis situations, social workers work with survivors to identify needs and come up with plans that include referrals or recommendations that will work toward fulfilling the client’s needs (Goelitz & Stewart-Kahn, 2013). The text states that during the assessment process, social workers act as detectives, uncovering aspects of crisis needing consideration (Goelitz & Stewart-Kahn, 2013). The clinician conducting Jalisa’s assessment uncovered Jalisa and her family have a history of past trauma, fleeing homeland and relocating from refugee camp. Jalisa’s father also believes in corporal punishment and Jalisa has expressed fear receiving disciplinary actions from father. Jalisa’s clinician recommended further exploration of these incidents. Crisis situations also call for assessing the safety of the survivor. It was determined that Jalisa felt safe in her home, even with her father coming home for the weekend. A safety plan for Jalisa for the weekend was then established. As a summary indicator of trauma informed, the clinician assesses for mental health issues, stating that Jalisa did not exhibit any serious acute trauma related stress at this time.

  • Lilly Ledbetter Case

    518 Words  | 2 Pages

    Barack Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fairpay Act, on January 29, 2009. It holds a historic honor of being the first law the president signed, while in office. This law, in simple terms, addressed unfair and unacceptable wage gaps. The Lilly Ledbetter Fairpay Act is a legislative correction to a May 2007 U.S. Supreme Court decision (Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co (Mathis and Jackson, 2011). This decision restricted the ability of victims who experienced pay discrimination to sue and receive damages, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Mathis and Jackson, 2011). In Ledbetter Lilly Fairpay Act, the Court ruled that Lilly Ledbetter could receive no recourse from her employer (Mathis and Jackson, 2011).This decision came even though she was discriminated against by being paid less than her male colleagues were, for years. The Court ruled that Ledbetter had filed her complaint too late. This was based on the law’s 180-day deadline to sue from the day Ledbetter received her last discriminatory raise, rather than, as the law had previously made clear, from the day she received her last discriminatory paycheck (Mathis and Jackson, 2011).

Though important characters like Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and Malcolm X are key players still in the movement what is important to understand is that there is another part of the story that had just as much if not more impact. These are the stories of women in the Southern states who were strong enough to give voice to the sexual assaults of Black women, showcasing the ugliness of the Southern states and by placing a limelight on these events (Lecture 4/6).
