What is Love?

Details:
Much of what occurs in marriages and families is described as love or the absence of love. We sometimes say that we are ?in love? or are falling in love with someone. Since the word love is also used to describe our feelings about things such as a certain kind of food (?I love chocolate ice cream.?) or objects such as a car or a movie (e.g., ?I loved the movie we saw last night.?), people who study relationships have suggested that human love can take different forms or be one of several different types.
Consider the four different types of love outlined near the beginning of Chapter 6: storge, philia, eros, and agape. In an essay of 500-750 words, include the following:
Describe the relationships of at least two different couples you know who exemplify different types of love. (For example, one couple may have an eros type of love for each other while the other may have an agape type of love.)
Explain why you think each relationship you described is the type that you think it is. If you are married, have been married, or if you were to marry someone, do you, did you, or would you want your love for the other person to be of one or another of these types? Why?
Provide a minimum of three to five scholarly sources to support your analysis and conclusion.

hypothetical scenario

Paper
? Please use the following hypothetical scenario to answer the following 5 questions. Each question is worth 20 points for a total of 100 points. When complete upload your document to the dropbox below.

Scenario

Janet Johnson, an African American woman, has been working at the Tennessee Hydroelectric plant for 15 years. During that time, his performance reviews have been exemplary. She decided to apply for the new plant foreman position. Although she felt that she was eminently qualified for the position, she also was growing tired of a certain good old boy culture at the plant. For years, the plant has had a culture of highly lewd ?jokes,? and many of the employees had also engaged in inappropriate touching of female employees. The plant had an anti-harassment policy on record, but Janet?s boss shrugged and said ?boys will be boys? when she reported the harassment to him.

Competition for the position was fierce. But ultimately, Jose Martinez, a Chilean man, received the position. Jose had 7 years of experience. Unbeknownst to the applicants the promotion board secretly ran a credit check on the applicants. Janet credit score came in as lower as average, and this factored into the board?s decision. Although he met the qualifications of the position, one of the hiring managers told Janet in confidence that Janet was the most qualified person for the job. And the other managers had applied a racial preference on Jose?s behalf due to there never having been a Latino manager at the plant even though Latino?s represented 35% of employees at the plant. Janet sues the plant for disparate treatment, disparate impact, and sexual harassment under Title VII.

Questions
2. List the elements of disparate treatment and apply them to this case. Can Janet prove a prima facie case? How would the plant rebuff these charges? Who would ultimately prevail?
3. List the elements of a disparate impact case and apply them to this case? Will Janet prevail on this charge?
4. List the elements of the sexual harassment case and apply them to this case? Can the plant establish an affirmative defense?
5. If the plant argues that it applied a racial preference to Jose to correct a manifest imbalance at the plant of underutilization of certain minorities, will the plant prevail? Why or why not?
6. Was it legal to use the credit check as a factor in the promotion decision the way that it was done here? Why or why not?
