Title: The Human Element; Bureaucracy, Gender and Race
Introduction
Do high management level employees make decisions or should the front line workers have a say? Should women be looked down upon because historically men are dominant?

Just like the article explains “post-racial” is something that can be possible if our society keeps going the way it is in 2015.
