List the four situational factors necessary to establishing a claim of disparate impact. For each one, explain why it is important to assess whether or not there is evidence of disparate impact.

There are four situational factors that courts frequently require to establish a charge of disparate treatment.

Explanation:

Plaintiffs are the people who initiate the law suit. He desires to seek a judicial remedy and eh files a case.  Plaintiffs may sue employers who discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, or national origin. Employers who intentionally discriminate are clear evidences for a lawsuit.

The difference between disparate impact and disparate treatment is that disparate treatment is intentional discrimination, while disparate impact is unintentional.

Disparate treatment can be initiated on the employers on four factors they are: the person belongs to a minority class and they are ill treated based on the class aspect,  if the person applied for and was qualified for, a job but the employer was trying to fill without considering his selection, if the person was rejected despite being qualified and if the  position remained open and the employer continued to seek applicants as qualified by simply rejecting the qualified person.

as university of miami psychologists debra lieberman and adam smith pointed out in a recent article in the journal current directions in psychological science, humans have social and psychological mechanisms to deter incest. with very few exceptions, marriages between brothers and sisters and between parents and their children are verboten in every human culture. the primary psychological anti-incest mechanism is the yuck response. even the idea of sex with their mom or dad, bro or sis is upsetting to most people. the psychologist jonathan haidt has found that nearly everyone is repelled by the prospect of brother-sister sex, even in hypothetical situations in which there is no chance of pregnancy).

the biological cost of incest

this raises an interesting question: just what’s so bad about incest? sure, having sex with your dad or your sister seems gross — but why? some anthropologists have argued that incest taboos are learned social conventions. this explanation, however, doesn’t make sense to me as it does not explain the widespread existence of anti-incest mechanisms in creatures ranging from cockroaches to chimpanzees. second, the incest taboo is about as close to a universal law as human moral rules get.

why should mechanisms to avoid incest be so widespread both in nature and across human societies? the answer is simple. the problem with having sex close with relatives is that there is an astonishingly high chance that your offspring will be born with a serious birth defect.
