week 10 - Communication and Sexual Harassment

This is a very debatable topic. Well I believe that both male and female undergo sexual harassment but it is often seen that women have an edge over men in this area. About 2 years ago I saw a very interesting hindi movie called “AITRAAZ “ in which they show that the boss’s wife sexually harasses one of the employees and when he “VICTIM” tries to report to the boss about this act of wife, the boss files a case again the employee for sexually harassing his wife. And then the whole drama where no one believes the employee but later he proves that he was the victim. The moral of the story, I believe if an individual is sexually harassed, he/she should raise a voice against it not for the mere benefits or to extract money but for the right reasons, and the reasons would be that no one else should be harassed by the same individual.

week 10 - Question of boundaries

The text books talks about the boundaries on page number 410. It is very interesting how companies today are being so cautious about the health of their employees. But to what extent should they be concerned is the question. I believe that companies taking care of the physical and psychological problems just shows that they are concerned about their employees and in turn they are benefited because when the employee is emotionally balanced he/she will perform better in his/her job. But to talk about companies firing employees for smoking, overweight, risky leisure activities etc, I think this is a personal choice of the employee. I mean if an employee is smoking when is not at work it should not concern the employer. I think if the companies are concerned about all these activities i would consider it as an intrusion in their personal life.
