Here is my abstract The action of assault or harassment is usually carried out by person, who is in a position of power.
Harassers know they are doing something against the law or at least wrong and that’s why they work hard to keep it hidden. In order to do that they either have to hide their identity or show it but in the same time have the ability to keep the victims mouth shut under every condition.
Being someone’s boss or higher-level co-worker gives the harasser the power to do
what they desire and keep it in the dark. Judith Brandenburg wrote in her book Confronting
Sexual Harassment: "Sexual harassment is not an exclusively sexual issue but may be an
exploitation of a power relationship. Like any other power struggle, many instances of sexual
harassment are initiated and negotiated by a person in a position of authority and are sustained at
the expense of another who cannot counter demands without risk of reprisal (student teacher vs.
student, principal vs. teacher)" (Brandenburg,).
As a human nature people don’t do anything unless they want to, in other words the
motivation should exist for any action to be done. Although sexual harassment is not an accepted
deed within any society, it still does have motivations. Harassers are people and they make
mistakes, but there is something that pushes them towards such a behavior. One of the reasons is
the way women dress that sometimes gets beyond attractive to be sexy, which is irresistible for
some people.
