1. What did the Supreme Court decide in the Wal-Mart case? And more importantly, how did it justify its decision? 

In a 5-4 decision, The Supreme Court dismissed the case in Walmart’s favor. They justified their decision by saying that they could not base their decision because not all of the 1.5 million female Walmart employees were denied the opportunities that their male’s coworkers had. The members of the court used the word “commonality” to base their decision. Commonality means to share the same interest. In this case, the Supreme Court alleged that not all the female co workers suffered the same discrimination as Mrs. Duke. That just made me very upset because there is no way that 1.5 million of employees were going to report the same racist act against them. At the end of the day, there were employees from all over the nation who didn’t have the same manager. To me, it’s obvious that they could; have the same gender discrimination treatment as Mrs. Dukes. However, I believe that this is not a valid argument from the Supreme Court to fail this specific case. Or at least, that is my opinion.
