She had been previously employed as a receptionist in a five-star hotel at a Resort and had applied for a position at a lesser rated motel because she wanted to move back to the city.The complainant became suspicious about the interview, as she believed she had all the experience and skills necessary to do the job, and further was told by her previous employer that he had provided a glowing referee report to the interviewer of her work performance to date. The woman became concerned when, after being informed that she was unsuccessful for the position, she saw the very same position advertised again a week later.She contacted the Hotel for an explanation but could not get one. The woman then decided to lodge a complaint of discrimination on the ground of race, as she alleged the interviewer displayed surprise that she was Aboriginal when she turned up for the interview for the position.In conciliation the respondent paid her compensation of $1,000 for hurt and humiliation, provided a written apology and agreed to include a reference to Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) in advertising and to incorporate EEO in future vacancy selections and interviewing.Referencing information for Case StudyAUTHOR:Anti Discrimination Commission QueenslandTITLE:Race Discrimination at InterviewWEBSITE:https://www.adcq.qld.gov.au/resources/case-studies/a-and-tsi-case-studiesYEAR OF PUBLICATION:2017The question for the expository essayNote: this question also appears on the Template for Assessment 2.Using your understanding of ideas from this semester’s Humanities topics as well as the given Case Study, write an expository essay the negative effect “othering” can have on individuals and on the wider community.
