Step 1: Case Scenario

Read the following case first; then proceed to the next steps.

A major cosmetics company posted a position on a local jobs board
looking for a sales representative. The posting stated “Established
fortune 500 company has an immediate opening for sales representative in
the New York area. Candidates should have 3 or more years of experience
in the cosmetics industry and a proven track record of success in this
field.”

Sara and Jim both applied for the position in New York City. Sara is
24 and has 3 years of experience with a rival cosmetics company in their
marketing department. Jim has 18 years of experience as a cosmetics
representative who has just recently been laid off and is 49 years old.
The company decided to hire Sara; and during the interview process, Jim
was told that the company thought women were better suited for the
cosmetics industry. It was also alluded to during Jim’s interview that
the company wanted younger people to promote their product line.

Jim filed a lawsuit with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC) and after a year and a half of litigation, Jim was awarded the
job. During this time, Sara had been a very successful employee;
however, with only one position available, the company had to fire Sara.

Step 2: Reflection Part

Think about the following:

• Was this a proper decision by the EEOC?
• If you worked for the EEOC, how would you have decided on this case? Explain your reasoning.

After you have thought through your position on this scenario, apply
your thinking to this week’s philosophers and complete Step 3 – the
writing part of this assignment.

Step 3: Writing Part

In 2-3 pages, explain how Machiavelli and Hobbes would explain the
role of the government in this case if they were confronted with this
situation. How might they apply the use of power to illustrate their
philosophy? Support your analysis with quotes or paraphrases from the
philosophers. Use APA format and citation when writing your assignment.
