For more recent case law, the Supreme Court in Bostock v. Clayton Co., Georgia, 590 U.S. ___, 140 S. Ct. 1731 (2020), interpreted the language of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Amazon will be opening new offices in your city. You will be in charge of their Human Resources Department and have been charged with creating policies to address the diverse nature of the employees and safety in the workplace. Among the anticipated employees for the company in this new location will be workers who are over 50 years of age, employees with physical disabilities, employees with different sexual orientations and identities, pregnant women, and those of different races and ethnicities.
Select and define three legal concepts, statutes, or case law that you will use to develop these new employee policies for Amazon.
Prepare a one-page analysis of each legal concept, statute, or case law and how it will apply to establishing the policies.
In addition to discussing the diverse nature of the employees, you should also focus on safety in the workplace. Based on your findings, critically evaluate three social or psychological issues that will impact employee behavior. Be sure to use peer-reviewed research resources to demonstrate your comprehension of social science theoretical perspectives; connection of perspectives to larger societal, personal and historical contexts. You do not need to create specific policies but rather explain how the law impacts the policies.
Research and cite to one additional authoritative source for each legal concept, statute, or case law other than the text materials. Your paper should be a total of 3 double-spaced pages of content, excluding your title and references pages.
You should also make sure to:
Include a title page with full name, class name, section number, and date
Include an introductory and concluding paragraph and demonstrate college-level communication through the composition of original materials in Standard English
Use examples to support your discussion
Cite all sources on a separate reference page at the end of your paper and cite within the body of your paper using APA format and citation style.
