1INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS
Part 1: Thread
It has been said in various criticisms that the workplace administrations in the recent
times need to provide their employees with some sort of facilities that would be helpful for them
to live their lives properly. In order to increase the productivity in the organizations, the activities
of the political unions have decreased a lot compared to the previous times (Gausepohl, 2016).
These unions used to raise their voices to protest against the payment inequality and other similar
issues where employees were deprived of their rights. After the decrease of these facilities,
employees are being exposed to heavy workload and less pay than they deserve. Many
employees are also being harassed through discriminatory acts.
In this context, it has become quite essential for the government agencies and
organizational managers to provide some means of relief to all this discrimination in the
workplaces (DelCampo, Haggerty & Knippel, 2017). The states should make stricter anti-
discrimination laws that will help the employees to get their rights. The discriminatory acts are
covered through race, disability, racism and gender (Gausepohl, 2016). The reforms in these
legal systems should be administered by countries so fair pay can be introduced. Better
healthcare benefits should be provided to elder employees (Coulter & Faulkner, 2014).
Maternal advantages and benefits should also be provided to the women in all the
organizations (Nickels, 2019). This will look after the employee well being in a better way. Here
equal pay signifies the fact that similar salary and incentives should be paid to all employees in
the organization if they share similar designations.
The context of the equal pay and advantages will be quite important when it is explained
through the Biblical perspectives. The condition of the equal pay has been described in the

2INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS
Biblical verses have been described so many times in several Biblical verses over the times both
in Old and New Testament (Sawayer, 2017).
“Yes, I ask you also, true companion, help these women, who have labored side by side with
me in the gospel together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in
the book of life.” (Philippians 4:3)
13 And the landowner replied to one of them, “Friend, I am not treating you unfairly. Didn’t
you agree with me to work for the standard wage? 14 Take what is yours and go. I want to give
this last man the same as I gave to you. 15 Am I not permitted to do what I want with what
belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous? 16 So the last will be first, and the
first will be last.”
The above mentioned quotations are from Biblical Scripture and it justifies the action that
every person should be treated in the similar manner. There should be no distinctions between
men and women (Nickels, 2019). Everyone in the organization should be included in the equal
pay structure. Otherwise, it will really damage the overall reputation of the concerned
organizations. The second Biblical quotation justifies the importance of similar wage.

Dear Grace,
I must say that you have shown your knowledge in your post. I am quite glad that you
have gained good level of knowledge through your studies in this management course.
Therefore, it is also important justify the claims from the Biblical point of view or religious
contexts. You have brought out important factors from the generation gaps in the workplace. I

loved the mentioning of different generations in the post you have made. Here I want to
comment that harmony is the ultimate thing that the organizations will need among their
employees to thrive properly. You have made very helpful categorizations between the baby
boomers, Gen X and Gen Z people. The behaviors are actually important to distinguish between
them and identify each category (Dwyer & Azevedo, 2016).
“But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of
themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful,
unholy, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers
of pleasure rather than lovers of God” (NIV).
In this post, you have also made very good points by concentrating on the Biblical verses.
You have quoted lines from Philippians 2:3-4 and I appreciate your efforts very much. Your
attempts are praiseworthy since it is clear that you have researched on this issue with great depth.
You have also shown the importance of valuable experiences in the workplaces. You have
highlighted upon the role of managers within the organization so they can find out how they
should behave at different situations.
All the managers should really consider about the age group of the particular employees
and respect elders even if they are subordinates (Burke, Cooper & Antoniou, 2015). Employees
and managers must have an idea of the beliefs and values of the Christian doctrines and religious
texts. Indeed Jesus Christ has advised every human being in the world to show respect to each
other. It is only Jesus Christ who resides within every soul.
If believers of Christianity have faith and belief in the Almighty Jesus Christ, they should
have full faith and respect in all the human beings also. Thus your explanations are quite

interesting and attractive from different perspectives. Respect should be shown to individuals not
only based on their organizational positions but their age group too. Organizations must also act
according to various verses in Old and New Testaments.

Dear Sean,
You have chosen to write on one of my most favorite subjects i.e. multiculturalism in the
organizations due to different generations. Here you have presented the conditions of conflicts
that might arise in this context. You have also provided examples from your own working
experiences. I appreciate this effort as you are matured enough to get the practical examples of
these things. Here you have mentioned the fact that you work back home during the breaks and
you get to work with people of different ages (Wesolowski, 2014).
In this scenario, you have focused on the experiences you had while you were asked to
download the software app to see all the necessary things through this. I also understand the
problem you shared in this context. It is definitely very hard for older employees to adjust with
these perspectives. You have to understand that older employees did not have all these
technological devices like you in their prime youth. They face several problems like reflex
issues, eye problems and others. They are not even very fast in typing on keyboards or laptops.
Here you must help them so they can get over all these issues proactively. I am very happy to see
that you have used Biblical verses from Timothy in your writing (Hackett Jr, 2019). I always
support this activity since Biblical verses and Christianity is the basic for understanding
Christianity.

"Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender
and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; so, you too, when you see all these
things, recognize that He is near, right at the door."Truly I say to you, this generation will not
pass away until all these things take place. (Matthew 24:32-34).
Here this quotation from Timothy centers on the belief that we should treat every person
according to their age. We should not discriminate between all these persons based on their
positions. Therefore, your argument is very clear that all the employee deserve the respect in all
forms. Otherwise, it will be a huge problem for the company to retain their position and
reputation in this marketplace. I would rather advise you to think about the ways in which
multigenerational workforce can be managed properly. Your observation is also quite true and I
agree that older employees are more careful and sincere while doing their duties than these
young people (Green, Roberts & Rudebock, 2017). Overall, I am quite impressed with your post
since you have put in lots of efforts to complete your post and highlighting in quotations from
the Scripture also.
