Sexual Harassment Definitions

Sexual Harassment Definitions

What exactly is sexual harassment? Many People can not actually define the term properly. Many misconceptions of harassment have been conceived. The term sexual harassment can be defined as "a speech and or/conduct of a sexually discriminatory can nature, which was neither welcomed nor encouraged." Moreover, three authors have written about the definition of sexual harassment in the text book "current issues and enduring questions." (P. 741-747). Their statements, describe sexual harassment as unwanted and unwelcome behaviors. The writer use different techniques to explain the definitions of sexual harassment.

The first author, "Ellen Goodman," describes her essay's different technique to define sexual harassment, however, the evidence of which supports the topic is not sufficient. She is not addressing somebody's case directly and is more concerned about society even though she does not cite specific information. For example in the essay "the reasonable woman standard" "Sexual harassment is a concept as new as date rape" "sexual harassment rules are based on the point of view of the victim, nearly always a women." (Paragraph seven and eight). Goodman describe about sexual harassment as an interest of reasonable strategy. She is not strongly concerned about law, nor does she choose a legal position. She is more interested in the social aspects and effects. The author has not given enough evidence to support topic and does not give much more detail.

Ellen Franklin's"Bared buttock and Federal Cases" essay has enough evidence. Most of his opinion has legal aspect and points out here to support the topic.

Sexual harassment is an inevitable corollary to class exploitation: as

Capitalist exploit workers, so do males in positions of authority exploit

their female subordinates. (Paragraph one).

This paragraph show what kind of action should be considered the law and what action is needed to be made in law, therefore, this essay gives more detail to describe the definition sexual harassment. In order to discuss the topic of sexual harassment in different essay, one must have a clear definition to what actually the word and the law explain correctly. Franklin Essay stronger than Goodman s exerts. The definition of sexual harassment then is to be persistently annoy someone through the use of sexual tactics.

To discuss the topic of sexual harassment in the work place, one must have a clear definition of what actually constitutes sexual harassment. However, those authors give heterogeneous definitions to explain this issue. Sara J. McCarthy describes sexual harassment as, "This is cultural fascism unmatched since the Chinese communist outlawed hand-holding, decorative clothing and premarital sex. Her essay's "Cultural Fascism" has similarities with Franklin
