Analysis Paper on Women and Harassment

Choose an example of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment can occur in the home, the workplace, or in any other setting. You can find an example in the news, a blog, or other media source, such as a movie or book.

Explain how the example demonstrates sexual harassment. Include the source where the sexual harassment was found in your report.

Who is affected by the example of sexual harassment? Is there a specific age group? Are other groups affected as well?

Conduct a small focus group of friends or family to solicit their reactions to this example of sexual harassment. Consider asking different age groups. Then, discuss the message portrayed by the example you have chosen.

Discuss how sexual harassment could affect women's health. Make sure to address the specific type of sexual harassment that you're exploring in your paper.

How should regulations be applied to this example of sexual harassment? Consider a company's policies (you may use where you work, if applicable), municipal laws, and/or state laws. Offer some suggestions of how the issue could be resolved.

Using any tool at your disposal, respond to this example of sexual harassment and why you are concerned that it is occurring. For example, you can create a blog post or magazine article that may include photos within text; write a letter to the editor, a responsible agency, company, or person explaining the current recommended standards for appropriate treatment of women; or write a recommendation for community resources in a letter written to a community representative. Do not write that you are doing this as an assignment, as it detracts from the sound of your intent. Your blog post, magazine article, or letter should be 250 to 550 words (1 to 2 pages) in length.

As an example, consider the treatment of women by those in power, such as Harvey Weinstein. For some time, it may have been the norm to expect sexual favors for a favorable job or post. You can also consider sexual favors for reduced cost of goods or being fired for declining advances by a superior. Recently made public, this type of harassment is no longer acceptable and may be the focus of your paper.
