Answer

Discrimination or inequality is no justice against different categories of people.This normally occurs based on the grounds of age, sex or gender and the age or even based on the religious beliefs.

Explanation

When there is discrimination based on the above mentioned grounds that is racial among others which is treating people differently and some are treated well and others worse can easily weaken the economy. This will happen because some groups will feel that they dont fit in the community and due to unfair treatment they will not be in a position to interact with others. This will ruin the trade between different groups. They will also not be able to work with full potential in their working areas which will make their company s to less income.

Well, if people are discriminated against and feel they are not equal to some other classes in their own society, they obviously will not be happy which will have an impact on their jobs and careers. If they are not happy, they will not give their full potential at their jobs, which will ultimately lead to less and less income for the company.
That's what I think, at least. :)

How do horizontally organized companies differ from traditionally organized companies

GenaCL600 [577]

Horizontally organised companies do not have a strict hierarchy of posts with increasing importance and allow more freedom to the employees.

Explanation:

Horizontally organised companies function very differently from traditional companies as the traditional structure is a pyramidal vertical structure.

In this structure people at the top are few and are at higher positions and issue orders which are distributed by managers to employees.

In the horizontal structure the managers are taken out of play and even the employees make important decisions for the company. This allows for greater morale and freedom but can only work for small and medium sized businesses in certain niches.

Suppose american winemakers convince the federal government to issue a directive to serve only domestically produced wine at gov

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

B) rent seeking behavior

Explanation:

Rent seeking behavior refers to actions carried out by businesses that try to seek benefits through government policies. In other words, the businesses will try to make the government give them some type of special treatment or special benefit at the expense of the general population.

In this case, the American winemakers were able to convince government officials to only serve domestic wine at government events. The problem is that the general population (taxpayers) are the ones that pay for that wine. American winemakers will benefit at the expense of the taxpayers.
