DISCUSSION QUESTION: Consenting to Sexual Harassment

Read Case 11.4: Consenting to Sexual Harassment, located on page 420 in your textbook, then respond to the following questions. According to her own testimony, Vinson acquiesced to Taylor's sexual demands. In this sense, her behavior was "voluntary".

Does the voluntary nature of her behavior mean she had "consented" to Taylor's advances? Does it mean they were "welcome"? Do you agree that Vinson's acquiescence shows there was no sexual harassment? Defend your position.

Assignment: Stance Essay

The topic for exploration is workplace stress, and the problem for identification is that lack of motivation among employees contributes to work place stress. According to the trends in many corporations across the globe, managers pressurize employees to deliver results without providing the incentive that encourages commitments to duties. As a result, many individual find it hard accomplishing task without experiencing fatigue that leads to frustrations at times. The observation of the developments suggests that lack of motivation contributes to frustrations that turn into stress but such is solvable through the introduction of incentives.

You made it to your final assignment, and you have learned so much along the way.

• In the personal essay, you learned how to write with a strong personal voice.

• In the informative essay, you learned how to write objectively and support your points with credible sources to inform the audience.

Now in your final assignment, you will combine these writing techniques to write a stance essay. A stance essay takes a position on a topic and argues and supports that position with evidence. Consider your topic:

• What possible positions/arguments are there?
• Identify the three reasons why this category and topic are meaningful to you.
• Each main body paragraph should match the reasons stated in your thesis. Suggested paragraph length is 5-7 sentences each.
• Include a clear conclusion that restates your thesis.

For the stance essay, your personal voice (your perspective) should come through. This is just like assignment 1, except you should maintain a formal tone. And just like assignment 2, you will need to support your points with credible sources. You're ready to take a position on the topic you have been writing about and to be persuasive!
