28-passage three
Many politicians, business leaders, and scholars discount the role of public policy and emphasize the role of the labor market when explaining employers' maternity-leave policies, arguing that prior to the passage of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993, employers were already providing maternity leave in response to the increase in the number of women workers. Employers did create maternity-leave programs in the 1970's and 1980's, but not as a purely voluntary response in the absence of any government mandate. In 1972, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) ruled that employers who allowed leaves for disabling medical conditions must also allow them for maternity and that failure to do so would constitute sex discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As early as 1973, a survey found that 58 percent of large employers had responded with new maternity-leave policies. Because the 1972 EEOC ruling was contested in court, the ruling won press attention that popularized maternity-leave policies. Yet perhaps because the Supreme Court later struck down the ruling, politicians and scholars have failed to recognize its effects, assuming that employers adopted maternity-leave policies in response to the growing feminization of the workforce.

這篇我有點抓不太到重點耶
請問各位大大 這篇該如何定位呢?

這篇我有點抓不太到重點耶
請問各位大大 這篇該如何定位呢?

不是大大
但想試試看喔
(老實說,不太清楚M-L是什麼,但不影響解題)


這篇文章主要是在說
在關於解釋m-l policy時,很多政治家,商業領導者,及學者都覺得政策扮演的角色有限,他們強調的是勞動市場本身所扮演的角色,這是為什麼呢??他們說明在FMLA通過之前(1993之前),EMPLOYER 就已經因為女性勞工人數的增加,提供M-L了

接著作者提出反駁,說明在1970年代,確實就已經有這些政治家...說的"M-L"的出現,但是M-L的出現並不是如上面那些人所言,EMPLOYER其實不是自願的,而是因為政府政策的要求

這個政策就是 EEOC,然後說明EEOC的成效
接著又說,EEOC 最後被STRUK DOWN,但是卻因此引起媒體大眾對"M-L"的注意,所以作者認為這個政策的效用是持續有影響的
只是這些政治家....因為這個法案被STRUCK DOWN了,就忽略的這個法案的影響力,單純的以為只是女性勞工增加,導致EMPLOYER主動的去OFFER "M-L"

簡單的翻譯一下
所以文章的邁絡很清楚
1.政治家等人的論點 :fmla法律實施之前,就有ML存在
是出於女性勞工增加,業者的主動反映
2.作者反駁:fmla之前還有一個法律 eeoc,
eeoc規定業者要提供"ML",而非業者出於自願
EEOC後來被'CRUK DOWN,這些政治家忽略了他的效用

請指教

我認為是C
因為EEOC雖然被廢了,但是他的影響力仍在
就如同C所言

這題我也錯...我選成b，答案給d

E: They agree that employers created maternity-leave programs prior to passage of the FMLA but disagree about how widespread those programs were.

我認為是D
因為一開始,政治家等人就說在FMLA之前就有"M-L"了
作者也承認did create .....
所以they both agree

第二個部份
作者認為employer非出於自願
政治家們以為是自願
所以they don't agree with ...motivaton

請問各位大大 這篇該如何定位呢?

AT閱讀無法定位

[hjp1077]

maternity-leave 應該是 職業婦女 懷孕時可以請的產假OR育兒假

[modern]

http://www.formosamba.com/phpBB3/viewtopi ... =maternity

參照此篇吧

大衛你又太狠了啦
小弟弟小妹妹剛來問到定位問題 別把別人嚇著

這麼說好了 考試技巧 (基本上運用技巧應該可以讓人對一半以上 但剩下的就是靠實力)
AT文章多數要認清態度就可以作對一半 因為態度往往關係著主題題以及其中一到兩道態度題
作者跟引述ABC的態度務必要正確 看到yet, however, 等轉折語氣馬上注意掃後面的句子並確認是作者還是引述某人的態度

態度可分為
1.支持(分為全支持 大支持小反對) 2.反對 (全然罵 大罵小褒) 3.中立 (純敘述 或是正反都提出來讓人去evaluate )
老實說補習班老師上這個有一堆啦 我這分類不太清楚只是個人淺見

所以!! AT文章除了細節題以外都是無法定位的!!! 請努力看懂藍軍 綠軍 淺藍 淺綠 以及泛紫聯盟 無黨籍 的差別 即可輕鬆解一半以上的題
Stilala的簡述在這篇就運用的很棒 幾句話就是精髓嚕~
