Jackie is the victim of sexual harassment in the case of Sing & Dance. She was forced to experience advances that were verbal in nature and continued even after she had requested that they stop. The potential opportunities and advancement status would be in jeopardy if she did not conform to the request and sexual advances that were being made. Her manager, Curtis, had contacts within the industry and also was the direct supervisor for Jackie’s advancement opportunities. These advancements did not directly relate to a gender specific decision, they were related to her acceptance of sexual advances from her manager. This conduct caused enough damage to the victim that she felt she was unable to perform her vocals and therefore unable to compete …show more content…
Jackie would be in a sitution of his word against hers since Curtis was careful to keep his advances hidden and under the radar and out of view. Jackie is further comprimised by being placed in the situation of reporting the offenses to an employee that was also in a relationship with the accused. This could be viewed as a conflict of interest that could place Leslie’s personal agenda and decision making above that of her business interest. This could be considered collusion and deceptive behavior that would actually help Leslie in her legal stance. However, reporting this behavior to the company and persuing any legal direction could impact her career and future in a negative way from both the allegations as well as the legal fall out.The risk of damaging her reputation within the music industry is a real threat. Also, her personal life would be impacted as she would incur the financial cost, potential job loss, as well as the damage to her reputation.

This article Discusses the case of Christine Franklin. Franklin was a sophomore at the time of the sexual harassment and abuse claims.
The court should take a look at what the partners said like, “she was sometimes overly aggressive” (Nkomo, Fottler, McAfee, 7 edition, p. 57). The judge should rule in favor of Thelma Jones because she is being sexually discriminated. The employer did in fact discriminate unlawfully because you’re not allowed to tell a woman to be more “femininely” just to get a higher position.

Plaintiff Leonard Vernon commenced this action against his form employer, The Port Authority, alleging violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. Job promotion in most cases depends on a person’s ability to produce results or the person’s competence. Vernon is an American citizen with a master’s degree in his profession. It is also said that he has been promoted to higher ranks in the past until the time when Rosenberg was promoted to a senior engineer. The promotion of Rosenberg might be attributed to the fact that the organization wanted to balance the gender equality.
I can imagine how elated Jack must have been knowing all his hard work and effort has been rewarded with the Job position he deserved. Chapter 2: CelebrationWe start this chapter with the planning of Jack and Barbara’s upcoming promotion party put together by Jack’s wife, Libby. We get to know more about Barbara and the struggle she faces at the firm because she is a woman. She talks about how unlike men, women have a harder time striving to achieve their goals, and I totally agree with her. The workforce is more lenient and promising for men, and there are still companies that would rather choose a man to lead than having a woman in that position. It’s very sad because they do not care about the qualifications and skills this woman possesses, but more so about her gender. Barbara elaborates more on how she faced not only being discriminated against because she is a woman, but she was also sexually assaulted by her previous manager Stan Wright. Stan held the position of the audit manager at the firm and felt he had the right to push her around, and even offend her sexually. Barb showed a lot of courage by standing up to him, and also demanding a formal apology from him. Sexual harassment is still present in companies today, and sadly some companies do not take it with the seriousness it deserves. With women now making their voices heard, soon the sexual predators would get the punishment and shunning they deserve. Jack also shares his
At one point John tells her a story about his experience in college as well because he “Likes her.” Things seem to change in her attitude around the second act. In the play she talks with a more formal language , almost as if she’s consulted with someone else between acts. It seems that she has met with some group and their motives rubbed off on her. From this point on in the play, things only go downhill. Now, don’t twist the truth, Sexual harassment is no joke, and it should be taken incredibly seriously. But from this point in the play, John’s life, and Job are at risk. He is just about to receive tenure and he’s just about to buy a new house, If anything goes wrong, his life is screwed. Its not until the end of the play when he finds out she is charging him for “attempted rape.” The play has an amazing way of not only bringing out what’s inside the reader, but showing us a realistic, or characterized perception of what goes on after class. “His approach does, however, inadvertently offer an amusing litmus test: If you think only Carol is a caricature, you're a raving feminazi. If you think only John is, you're a male chauvinist pig”
Whether or not the actions of Ms. Leslie Gonzales towards Mr. Ray Garcia establishes an act of sexual harassment.
Sexual misconduct in the workplace has been a problem for women and in recent year’s men as well. Unfortunately, in the past this topic was overlooked until the case of Meritor Savings v. Vinson. We will establish the criteria for determining when unwelcome conduct of sexual nature constitutes harassment according to Title VII. Additionally, we will ascertain how to evaluate evidence of harassment, whether a work environment is sexually antagonistic, holding employers liable legally responsible for sexual harassment by supervisors; and analyzing preventive and corrective action
The road to show choir nationals was a long struggle with many roadblocks. There were many times when I dreaded going to rehearsal, and when I got there, I just wanted it to be over so I could leave. Show choir started to feel like a chore to me and I didn’t enjoy it like I did last year. That is, until March 31st.
I agree with you when saying that in both we are seven and the singing dance both main characters see life in optimism. The young girl in “We are Seven” in most people's mind would be upset about the death of her siblings but instead treats them as they were still present. Everyone has different perspectives of death and the young girl didn't let it affect her life. In “The Singing Dame” the old lady has many reasons why she should be sad but instead is very joyful with her life. While the Lord is jealous in how even if he is full with riches he isn't able to contain the happiness that the old dame js capable of achieving.
