Learning Reflection

Today in class we discussed a little bit more legal issues especially preventing sexual harassment. To show what not to do at a job situation, thus we saw a small clip from the show “The Office.” It is very interesting to see in that show specifically all the things that we are not supposed to do, but they are funny at the same time, because they do happen. It is sad at the same time because it is not right.

As the book mentions, it is important to have a very clear policy statement where everybody can read and understand that sexual harassment would not be tolerated in the workplace. It is really sad to hear in the news people trying to take advantage of people. It is also very interesting to read that many complains come from women being sexual harassed from men, but it also happens that men get sexual harassed from women.

We are living in a world where the work force is changing, people are changing. Many of those changes are good and some others not so good. I believe sexual harassment was a topic no one will dare to talk about, but now it is important that people know about it because it happens and we all have rights to be respected.

  1. I enjoyed "The office" clip also. Even if the clip was rude and crude, it showed us what not to do in the workplace. The show was so blunt about sexual harassment that if it actually happen we would be able to recognize it immediately and be able to report it.

    Great job on you blog!
