Eric is a public employee. He is subjected to discrimination at work after a few co-workers learn that he is gay. If he files a sexual orientation discrimination claim, it could be based on:.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)

Explanation:

Harassment on the basis of one's sexual orientation at work can be legally scrutinized under the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

It aims to give legal aid to LGBT employees against sexual discrimination.

The law states:  "allegations of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation necessarily state a claim of discrimination on the basis of sex".

EEOC seeks to protect individuals of different sexual orientation providing equality before law for every individual. Hence, Eric could file his complaint on the basis of this law.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.  

i am confused, what is the question? i can you out if you put it into more depth.
