are being wrongfully accused of sexual harassment in the workplace. There needs to be a system put in place of checks and balances to ensure that both sides of the accusation get fair treatment throughout the investigation. The victim should always be taken into consideration, but the accused…
period in our history, where the blue collared jobs were prominently dominated by men, women were often sexually harassed in the work place. Josey Amines and her female colleagues were no exception. At the mine, and even her home, Josey endured harassment from her male co-workers, mangers, and her father. Trying to desperately escape her continued abuse from her husband, Josey is emotionally abused at home and her work place as well. After her failed attempts at seeking justice for the women,…
employee. Such behavior can be considered verbal and sexual harassment because that’s very inappropriate. The statement also comes off as a bribe, which is also unacceptable behavior. If I saw that occur between an officer and an offender I would ask the co-worker about the exchange to begin with and if I feel the person will continue to act unprofessionally I would report the situation to my boss because someone would need to know about it. The harassment of offenders should never be ignored…
They are accused of sexual misconduct and the accusations lead to their reputation being no longer existent. The movement itself goes far back into the past but it all started with a movie producer, Harvey Weinstein as he was accused of sexual abuse. This was the spark that started it all. #MeToo is trending on Twitter and the stories are being shared widely on Facebook.

In Chapter 12, I have learned that in 1992, Andre Adams, a BBC journalist, coined the term workplace bullying, describing an ongoing harassing workplace behavior between employees, which results in negative health outcome for the targeted employees (Adams, 1992).

like any other at my internship with a sexual assault awareness group. My boss tells us about legal definitions of different crimes from stalking to domestic violence while I doodle on my notepad, having heard this all before. “Sexual assault,” she said, “states multiple acts that some people don’t realize count as sexual crimes.” Of course, forced sexual intercourse (rape), attempted rape, force into doing sexual acts, “and even fondling or unwanted sexual touching of any kind,” she said. Those…
On Tuesday, September 26, 2017 at approximately 3:15, I was informed by my administrator; Mrs. Noel, that there was a sexual assault allegation lodged against me. My initial reaction; undoubtedly was one of great concern on many levels. My concern did not lie within the confines of the allegation; but that my character had been assassinate and I was now the victim of hainees circumstances. That following Wednesday morning I addressed my principal with my concerns and indicated I wanted the…
“Ain’t I a Woman?” by Sojourner Truth used rhetorical strategies very effectively. Truth used rhetorical strategies effectively because her tone, text structure, figurative language, and the rhetorical devices she used let the audience know what she was feeling and why she was fighting for was she was fighting for. Truth used many rhetorical strategies in her speech but pathos, logos, ethos, allusion, juxtaposition, and pinpointing really made her argument valid and strong. Sojourner Truth’s…
comes to cases involving sexual harassment, the rule of law does not apply to factors such as money and power, gender and false allegations. Firstly, money and power both play a role in impacting sexual harassment cases, the more money and power a person has, the easier it is for them to break the law and fail to receive any form of consequence. There are many cases of rich and powerful individuals getting away with breaking the law. For example, Ben Affleck admitted to sexual harassing an…
