Week 7 EOC: Prisoners and Veterans

We always want to be sure we are using out best judgment no matter the applicant i, when it comes to hiring. "Ethics refers to the principles of conduct  governing an individual or group". pg 264 ch 7 Human Resource Management. I do not see the fear in hiring a Veteran they have clear discipline with an ability to think quickly, and want / need structure. same can be said for ex felon's, after living in a structured and strict environment for a period of time, they become used to living this way. Ex felons are also out to prove they have been rehabilitated and therefore can be accepted back into society or their communities. They tend to have a strong fear of being sent back to prison, if they are unable to meet parole requirements or are unable to distinguish good behavior.  both of these candidates seem like an employers dream, based on that perspective alone. "Title VII of the Civil Rights act makes it an unlawful practice for an employer to discriminate against an individual with respect to hiring, compensation terms, conditions, or privileges of employment because of the race color sex, religion, and national origin" pg 227 ch 7 Human Resource Management. 
I would hire either one of these applicants, pending the qualifications for the job, giving people a reason and a purpose helps elevate disfunctional behavior.
