disparate treatment means the employer treats people of different races/genders differently.  Affirmative action is an example of this.  Disparate impact means the employer treats every race/gender the same, but one of these policies tends to have the result that more people of one race/gender are hired than not.  An example of this is an employer who checks conviction arrest records may result in more whites/less blacks hired.  In this case an employer would have to show a need for checking conviction records.

The type of government can change in a country, depending on who is governing/presiding/leading it.

Helping you out with your homework huh?  Well I will not make it 4 or five sentences long but will give you something to think about.  \nThe impact it has on the American history is it started the rebellion against taxation and the mother country.  The second thing is that Americans decided to govern themselves and form a new government.  It also lead to no one ruler will govern America, judicial system, legislative branch and the executive branch.  It lead to a revolt and to the rights of our civil liberties.

That's a stretch, AT BEST.  \n\nTake bird flu for instance.  It would affect most countries, regardless of race/region/etc.  \n\nThe potential worldwide economic fallout from that would not discriminate.

In my honest and humble opinion... I think the government is doing it to avoid a law suit or being labeled as prejudice themselves. The government isn't the ones that said hey im being discriminated against because of my race or nationality it is a few squeaky wheels that messed with the cog so much our government had no choice but to acknowledge there is a difference in skin tones. Its scary that people always blame someone else often our government for their short comings rather than accept that they aren't perfect, learn from their mistakes, move on, and try to become better people by learning from their mistakes.\n\n\nHave a GREAT day!

Voters, for one. To some degree, the economy. Random events, disasters [man-made and otherwise], acts of nature, etc. Also, other governments--their views, actions, etc--can influence policy, as well.

Ok you don’t seem to be getting many answers so I’ll try to be more helpful.\n\nMany Western governments attempt to reduce discrimination through civil rights and equal opportunity laws and policies like affirmative action.\n\nMost religious discrimination is banned along with discrimination based on race, gender, nationality, etc.  Crimes directed against people on the basis of religion are actually lumped in with “hate crimes”, meaning they are considered more severe because the motivation was based on prejudice as opposed to anger, fear, etc.\n\nLyndon Johnson kicked off the more recent federal protections with Executive Order 11246 in the sixties. It dealt mostly with hiring practices.\n\nOther presidents and legislators have expanded on this. \n\nRegards,\nArmus

Not while the government institutions make distinctions between the races and give preferences based on racial differences.\n\nThis means affirmative action, quotas, set-asides, lowering of college entrance requirements, etc.\n\nEvery action of government that differentiates between races keeps racial divisions alive.

Generally, Malaysia has a government that implement policies  beneficial to all. \nDuring festivals, we have an open house culture whereby friends of different races visit each others homes enjoying the interaction as well as the different foods served. Many of us have close or good friends of other races. There are also quite a number of inter-racial marriages. We also have this spirit of co-operation & goodwill among us.\n \nWhen there is racial harmony among the different people groups, it makes it easier for a nation to prosper. This has happened & has allowed the government to focus on prospering the nation. Our main political party is made up of 3 major racial groups whose leaders hold ministerial positions in the  government.\n \nOur previous Prime Minister was also a man of great vision for this country and our nation rose up because of policies implemented during his tenure.\n\nThe different religious groups here also pray & sometimes come together to pray for the continual peace & prosperity of this nation.

The terms "Ethnic Rivalry" and "Spill over effects" relate to the cause and the far reaching outcomes of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. (Burundi also had had a similar experience before Rwanda's genocide)\n\nRwanda is a country with only two tribes - the Hutus and the Tutsi. These tribes were in constant struggle for ruling the country. The thirst for power thus resulted in ethnic rivalry between the two tribe, that culminated in the genocide.\n\nThe direct effects of the genocide was the murdering of million people (I don't remember the exact figure, u can search on google). However the effects of the genocide could not be contained within Rwanda borders. Rwandese had to flee their country to save their lives. Most fled to the neighbouring country of Tanzania, thus adding a burden to the already strained social services in the country. Some refugees went as far away as Europe and the US. This is one example of a spill over effect of Rwanda's genocide.\n\nHope I have shed some light into your queery. Feel free to contact me if more clarification is required.
