Her manager, Curtis, had contacts within the industry and also was the direct supervisor for Jackie’s advancement opportunities.

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.

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.

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”

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued Mitsubishi Motors in April of 1996 in regard to claims of widespread sexual harassment at the company’s plan in Normal, Illinois. “The lawsuit contends that as many as 700 women were subjected to groping and sexual remarks, creating a "hostile and abusive work environment" that went unchecked for years at the Mitsubishi Motor Manufacturing of America plant” (“U.S. Charges,” 1996). It is despicable that situation like this was allowed to happen and perhaps even more astonishing is the magnitude at which it took place. While most of the harassment “came from male assembly line workers or low-level managers,” high-level managers at plant knew of the offenses and allowed them to take place without consequences (“U.S. Charges,”
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.
