How do you think this will impact pay compression and pay gaps?

In the last 12-18 months, there have been lots of changes in how pay gaps can begin to diminish. One of them is to not ask candidates their current salary. In September 2016 the state of Massachusets passed a bill requiring pay for equal work (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. This made MA the first state in the nation to enact such a law other states are not far behind, but cities were quick to follow suit with New York City and Philadelphia both passing a law at the city level.
How do you think this will impact pay compression and pay gaps? How long do you think it will take for equal pay to truly be equal as we see legislation passed to ensure it? Don’t guess, do some research to support your ideas and theories.

If people are not actually being possessed by demons, what are some ordinary, down-to-earth explanations for what’s going on during an exorcism?
The movies, popular culture, and religions portray “demonic possession” as a horrendous experience you wouldn’t wish upon your worst enemy. However, in the real world, there are a number of advantages both to claiming you are possessed by a demon or to claiming you can exorcise (remove) a demon.
Put on your skeptics hat, write at least one 4-5 sentence paragraph in response to each prompt and upload to the appropriate folder on turnitin.com:

People who claim to be demonically possessed are often extremely religious. People who perform exorcisms are usually priests or other religious authorities. How might belief in demonic possession help explain “the problem of evil” and reinforce the faith of both the “possessed” and the “exorcist”?
How might “demonic possession” reduce personal responsibility for one’s actions?
What role might desire for attention play in the appearance of demonic possession?
Briefly explain how Occam’s razor suggests that demons do not exist and so-called demonic possession is psychological. What are some extraordinary assumptions that would have to be true if exorcism could cast out demons from the genuinely possessed?
Belief in extraordinary claims such as the existence of demons and other satanic forces can do extraordinary harm. In the 1980s, Satanic Panic swept the nation. Many mainstream media outlets, police departments, and parents claimed that satanic cults had infiltrated daycare and pre-school centers across the nation and were secretly subjecting the children in their charge to ritual satanic sexual abuse. The McMartin Pre-School trial accused most of the employees of the school of participating in sexual abuse of the children as part of a satanic ritual.

Child psychologists interviewed many of the children who attended the McMartin school. Explain the flaw in the interviewing process that led to the extraordinary accusations of ritual satanic sexual abuse.
How might so-called “repressed memory therapy” lead to an individual falsely believing they’ve been sexually abused?
As women began to routinely enter the work force in the 1980s, many families began using daycare and pre-school for the first time. How might this fact have contributed to Satanic Panic?

According to your text, parents of different social classes socialize children differently.
