Reason for Exploring this Topic
This topic is occurring presently, and has become an issue for many, especially in this economy. More people are willing to do whatever is necessary to get a job. I think that it is interesting for many people, especially my age group, because we are heading into our career field, and we need to be informed about what an employer can legally require us to provide for a job.
It also shows how impactful social media can be, because more people are turning to these platforms to even search for a job.
The media is talking about this issue, people who are searching for jobs, employers who find it necessary/unnecessary, as well as those in the legal fields. The media has shown the outrage some people have felt toward this invasion into their privacy, while showing from the employer’s view that it is necessary to take into account the kind of person a company is considering hiring, and now that means looking at all aspects of their life that they broadcast on social media. The media represents the way employers feel that they need to get a sense of how an individual would represent their business, while also discussing the effect this has had on people looking for jobs, and their new apprehension about what can and cannot be asked to provide to receive a job. The media has given examples of cases where it seemed fitting and appropriate, while others express feelings that it is unnecessary. Newspapers and other publications are also focusing on the new bans and cases of government involvement that have been dropped, or are currently being pursued. They are talking about it because social media has become so vital to our society, but is also viewed separate from work to some, while employers want to see the character of an individual before hiring them.
