    According to the article, while “voluntaries” in the sense of consent is not a defense to such a claim, it does not follow that a complainant’s sexually provocative speech or dress is irrelevant as a matter of law in determining whether he or she found particular sexual advances unwelcome. The correct inquiry is whether respondent by His or her conduct indicated that the alleged sexual advances were unwelcome, not whether her actual participation in sexual intercourse was voluntary (Twomey.…

    Law Unit 23

    Before any law and acts are made, there is a long procedure in the process of it being passed. If there are new laws it usually is chosen by majority decision usually in courts or the parliament. For example, the executive or the government form laws in the House of Commons by setting out bills. Sometimes it may come from their election mandate in order to be chosen, for example recently how labour vowed to ban fox hunting which can be shown as an example. Moreover, they then set out a bill to become an act which gets passed to the house and then to the House of Lords as a checking procedure before it is made. However, if the House of Lords don’t pass it as a law then the executive can go and make it an act. This specific method shows that it can be done by the government and has a process for it before anything can be done; usually these acts and laws come out during elections in order to win voters and sometimes are done and even not processed.…

    Ms. Darcy vs Big Car Company

    Mr. Clarence’s behavior of vulgar, lewd, and sexual gestures with his hands and tongue was sexual harassment. His actions of propositioning her in a sexually graphic language, asking if “she ever had a man’s finger up her butt, forcibly trying to kiss and invite her to have sex with him,” are all seen as objectively offensive for any reasonable person. Mr. Clarence’s actions of rubbing his body up against hers either throughout the day or every day is frequent enough to be sexual harassment.…

    Afte Court Case

    On a gloomy Saturday morning, a badly bruised and distraught Sally Richards stumbled into the doors of UC’s medical hospital, seeking assistance for the terrible incident that she experienced the night before. Standing in front of the triage desk, Sally explained to the hospital secretary how she was sexually assaulted and possibly raped by her ex-boyfriend the night before. Quickly, the hospital secretary called an expedient nurse from the back room and in a flash, Sally was suddenly brought to a private room. With Sally being instructed into the room, she noticed an individual standing across the medical room, who she later learned would be her advocate throughout her examination and during her court case. Throughout the duration of her stay, though distraught, Sally cooperated with the SANE nurses, especially with the physical evidence collection.…

    Its All About the Law Paper

    Many states fail when it comes to providing policies that support the rights of English Language Learners. According to Quality Counts 2009, only New York, Florida and Arizona mandate that teachers receive training on how to work with English Language Learners. Research shows that approximately eleven states offer incent for incentives for teachers to get bilingual credentials. Certain states offer policies that try to stop the process for teachers and support staff to assist students in keeping an attachment to their native languages. In 2009, Quality Counts asserted that, seven states—Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin, placed bans or restrictions on the use of native-language instruction with English Language Learners. Citizens in these states however are voting to bring about a change. As it was quoted by Judge William Douglass, “Under these state-imposed standards there is no equality of treatment merely by providing students with the same facilities, textbooks, teachers, and curriculum; for students who do not understand English are effectively foreclosed from any meaningful education. We know that those who do not understand English are certain to find their classroom experiences wholly incomprehensible and in no way meaningful.”(Wright 2010).…

Also, sexual harassment can be described as anything that’s causes someone to become uncomfortable. The act of this sort of harassment can be performed by men or women. More often than not, a man can come onto a man, and a woman can come onto another woman there is no specific victim or perpetrator. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, there are two different forms of sexual harassment which are: Quid pro quo, and hostile work environment ("Policy Guidance on Current Issues of Sexual Harassment”). Quid pro quo is the behavior when people give away sexual activities for some form of benefit. Women often give their bodies to their superiors for special treatment in the workplace. This sort of harassment usually is done by someone who is of higher power. Hostile work environment is when someone uses a harsh tone, and it creates an unfriendly setting that has a negative impact on the person’s work performance (“Policy Guidance on Current Issues of Sexual Harassment”). Hostile work environment harassment is more common in the workplace than Quid pro quo. Sexual harassment is a type of sex discrimination that violates the Civil Rights act of 1964 Title VII. “The Title VII of the Civil Rights act…
