Week 4: EOC: The Charming Man

The movie called The Charming Man that we've seen in class was very much informative to us as a class for Human Resource Management. In the film we saw surprising scenes that were highly offensive and that would for sure be red flags for human resources. Below are five alarming red flags that were often seen in the movie. 

Discuss five prejudices displayed in the movie:
1. Being disrespectful to women
2. Belittling someone's race and nationality 
3. Showing hatred towards a group of people based on nationality 
4. A company being bias towards only a certain group of race 
5. Fat shaming people based on their weight in the job field

The five that I've selected from the film were extremely relatable in today's society. I'll be comparing the five I've selected above. 
1. We are currently living in age where everyone's personal wording, images and content are often displayed on social media/internet. Such as it is much easier to be very disrespectful to women on social media and anybody can post comments about being disrespectful to women and including men.
2. In the film, we saw applicants who were taking an english class, and each one of them were disrespected at a certain time in their life, based on their skin color. Most of the students were a certain race that was related to muslin and a majority were a darker complexion.  
3. This was often seen in the movie, where a group of race was showing hatred towards a certain race. The job establishment in the movie was not afraid of showing and verbally speaking about their hatred and not wanting a certain race in their job establishment. In today's society showing hatred has been often been shown in the news lately such as excluding a certain race in their job establishment. For an example, a women who applied for Abercrombie & Fitch completed her first job interview there and was asked again for second job interview with their management team. The man quickly learns that the lady was no longer needed for a 2nd interview due to the fact that the women wore a hijab to the first interview. The women finds this as discrimination and decides to sue the casual clothing brand. Fast forward, the woman later won the case and given a large amount for the trouble of not being hired and also paying the costs for her attorney's fees. 
4. Being bias towards a certain group of race is often in the media. Such as favoring a type of race in their job establishment. For an example, a cultured company may only hired cultured people and would not hire people who aren't cultured enough to be hired for the position. 
5. We are also living in a world where most people are fat shaming, and most comments seem to be on social media. The fat shaming of people is very much highly discussed on social media due to the fact that most comments can be created under a fake name or account. Most fat shaming comments can be very cruel and can be extremely offensive.
