BUS: Sexual harassment

I. Issue and Reason

Our issue is sexual harassment. The reason why we chose this topic is that someone in the group knew a teacher who was arrested for sexual harassment, so we have personal reasons.

II. Causes

1) One cause is that there are some differences between men and women’s sense of values.

2) Another cause is that in Japan there is the stereotype that women are thought to be weaker than men, so this can lead to sexual harassment.

III. Solutions

1) We should understand the difference in values among men and women.

2) We should make everyone know how serious sexual harassment is. For example, companies can distribute pamphlets warning employees that they’ll get fired if they do it.

3) We should make sexual harassment laws stricter. For example, people who do sexual harassment have to pay heavier fines.
