Hello, so all the instructions are on the Word document attached. I only need Case 2 to be worked on in regards to the assignment.

EEO Case #2

The Texas Department of Public Safety requires uniformed troopers to cover their tattoos and branding with long-sleeved shirts or skin-toned patches while they are on duty.  The Austin Police Department allows tattoos except on an officer’s face and head and additionally requires that offensive tattoos be covered by the officer’s uniform or patches.  Additionally, a federal court ruled that the Fort Worth Police Department could require a heavily tattooed officer to cover his body while on duty.

In Hillsborough County, FL, the policy for the Sheriff’s Office’s states that patrol deputies, detention deputies, and community service officers cannot get new tattoos that would be visible when they wear their uniforms.  Those that already have tattoos must cover them with long-sleeved shirts and pants, even in the summer, if the supervisor deems the tattoos racist, sexist, offensive, obscene or excessive.  Tattoos that promote or support gang activity or that cover more than half of an extremity also must be covered.  Tattoos on the face, neck or head are banned.  Uniformed personnel with acceptable tattoos in visible locations, such as the hand, will be grandfathered in.  Applicants to the department who have tattoos that cannot be easily covered up will not be hired.  The department’s appearance policy also forbids male deputies from wearing earrings or any visible body piercing.  Female deputies can have earrings in only the lower lobes, not the upper cartilage and not on the nose or lip.

The City of Tampa, FL and the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office have similar policies on visible tattoos.

The City of Petersburg and the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office do NOT have a policy on tattoos.

 

Questions:

  1. Is the refusal to hire an applicant with visible tattoos a type of employment discrimination?
  2. Does a public safety employer have a right to institute personnel policies in regard to standards for appearances?Should law enforcement be different than other occupations?  Explain your answer.
  3. What are some issues that employers should consider when developing standards for appearance?

Ethics

Topic: Choose one current event from the news, and write a personal opinion/response to this event from an ethical perspective. Be sure to have a specific news article(s) to refer to in your paper! Include a citation (web site URL, etc.) to let me know where you found the article.

Content:

●Describe the issue you have chosen to write about.

○Who? What? When? Where? Why?

●Then write about three possible ethical responses to the issue; each response should get an entire paragraph, so this part of your paper should be three paragraphs long. What are some questions, concerns, problems, challenges, etc. you see in your chosen issue?

○These do not have to be responses that YOU personally agree with; rather, these are three possible responses that anyone could have (you will have a chance to give your own opinion later in the paper).

○Please refer to a specific theory we have learned about in class in at least one of your three responses.

●What do you personally consider to be the most ethical response? Why? This should take up another paragraph.

○This is your chance to share your own opinion about this issue! You can agree with one of the possible responses you presented earlier, or you can write about a totally new reaction here.

○Be sure to write about not only what you think but also why you believe what you do. The more detail, the better!

●Don’t forget to write a conclusion!

Structure: The structure of your paper should follow this pattern:

●Paragraph 1 ~ Introduction: describe the issue you have selected

●Paragraph 2 ~ Possible ethical response #1

●Paragraph 3 ~ Possible ethical response #2

●Paragraph 4 ~ Possible ethical response #3

●Paragraph 5 ~ Your own personal ethical response

●Paragraph 6 ~ Conclusion: final thoughts about the issue

Length: Your paper should end up being between 3 and 5 pages.

Format: Please type your paper using 11 or 12 point font, and double-space the lines.
