Answer: b. Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.

Explanation:

In the case of Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co in 2007, the US Supreme Court ruled that if claims were based on decisions taken by the employer 180 days ago or more, then the employers CANNOT be sued under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 over race or gender pay discrimination.

Plaintiff's were still however allowed to sue under other laws such as the Equal Pay Act which has a 3 year deadline for most sex discrimination claims.

Congress later reversed this ruling in 2009 with the passing of the LILLY LEDBETTER FAIR PAY ACT.

Answer: True

Explanation: Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.,(2007), is an employment discrimination decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. It ruled that employers cannot be sued under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 over race or gender pay discrimination if the claims are based on decisions made by the employer over 180 days prior to the claim.

In rejecting Ledbetter's appeal, the Supreme Court said she could and should have brought her claim when the pay decisions were made, instead of waiting beyond the 180-day statutory charging period. The effect of the Court's holding was reversed by the passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act in 2009 by Congress.

The act amended Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and states that the 180-day statute of limitations for filing an equal-pay lawsuit regarding pay discrimination resets with each new paycheck affected by that discriminatory action, and not the date the employer made the initial wage discriminatory decision.

Answer:

American revolution might bring ruin to Georgia because if Great Britain Wins the war the consequences on a political and economic or prospective would be catastrophically.  

Explanation:

A Georgia loyalist would think in terms of consequence and counteraction when it comes to the American Revolution.

The United States where not born yet so there was no political structure to help States transitioning from England towards independence and there were no historical precedent for a movement of that type, so many people who were loyalist were Simply afraid of a situation that could turn out badly very fast.

they also take into consideration the possibility that Great Britain could win, which could have led the Empire to massive counteraction in order to prevent another Revolution.

Also many loyalists were Rich People so before they could have a lot of loss from this Revolution since their source of income was based on trade with Great Britain

Emotions have the greatest impact on which step of ethical behavior?
pentagon [3]

<span>Moral  Motivation.</span>

In our regular day to day existences, we stand up to a large group of good issues. Once we have deliberated and formed judgments about what is right or wrong, good or bad, these judgments tend to have a marked hold on us. In spite of the fact that at last, we don't generally carry on as we think we should, our ethical judgments ordinarily inspire us. Moral motivation is an instance of a more general phenomenon—what we might call normative motivation—for our other normative judgments also typically have some motivating force.
