Issues to consider:

Chapter 2:

Keeping an open mind is key in order to gain a better understanding of the employment relationship. Organizations behave and develop based on their historical context. Let us not forget that “people” make up these organizations. Therefore, it is important as leaders in a democratic society, we allow for and consider differences of opinion.

“With the problem of Indian hostility, and the danger of slave revolts, the colonial elite had to consider the class anger of poor whites---servants, tenants, the city poor, the propertyless, the taxpayer, the soldier and sailor.
