According to Bennett-Alexander & Hartman (2015), Title VII has been established in order to warn a particular individual against providing judgment on the basis of color, nationality, race, religion, sex/gender of another individual. This implies that any judgment made on the above mentioned bases will always be rejected and outlawed by the Constitution of America (Bennett-Alexander & Hartman, 2015).
