On the last decade the issue of sexual harassment has been debated. Over the last ten years our society has become increasingly aware of, and responded to, the traditional form of sexual harassment in the work place and in school campuses across the country. Although the issues are complex, and the opposition argues that their is no doubt sexual harassment takes place for these reasons. The first reason the opposition argues is that it is an issue of power. The second reason is that sexual harassment does not violates title seven of the Civil rights act of 1964. And the third reason is that by regulating what a person say"s is not a violation of the First amendment. I contend that there is some doubt for these compelling reasons. My first reason is that I don"t think it"s an issue of power, but of sex. My second reason is that sexual harassment does violate title seven of the Civil rights act of 1964. And my third reason is that by regulating what a person say"s does violate the First amendment. .

             "Sexual harassment is not about sex, it"s about power.and what"s more powerful than a legislator" Says Mary Helen Smith, Florida Human Relations coordinator. The opposition argues that people just don"t feel secure about coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment because they don"t have job security. .

             Also they argue that is hard for courts and others to decide when sexual harassment has taken place because the definition of sexual harassment is much to broad and if the case is not favorable for the employee the power driven boss will fire the person for trying to create problems for the company. I contend that it is about sex and not about power. Researchers have found that women and men interpret sexualized behavior differently. Women are much more likely than men to label a given situation as harassing. Men report that they wound be flattered by sexual attention by a women. Images of powerful men making sexual come-ons toward female subordinates should be the defining ones simply proves that sexual harassment is about sex and not about power.
