    I am agreed to the view that sexual harassment is about power but not sex, as a common women, I can’t accept that a woman can be as oppressive as a man in authority about the sexual harassment. What we often heard is about the man, so as a woman, we must study to protect ourselves.

    When people own big power, they will try to use their power to prove their super ability. If we suffer sexual harassment, first, we should run and escape from the dangerous situation. After that, according to the degree of sexual harassment, we must take measures to prevent this situation happening again.

    Lust is the nature of human, but as a human we should try to control ourselves. If the action we do always follow the nature, what is the difference us from the animals?

    I have to say that Tom is a clever man. Sexual harassment is just like honey trap. Leave far away from the dangerous person is wise. If I have to face the same situation I must protect myself first and hold the testimony. After I left, I will find someone who can help me to warn the trespasser. If needed, I will take legal actions.

    In my opinion,sexual harassment is always a messure to get something we desire.Just like in the movie,sexual harassment is become a way to own more power and a way to contry the company.So we are suppose to protect ourselves.

    Sexual harassment often happens in office, school and some public places.
    As professor said we should protect ourselves in anywhere.

    Sometime power is important in a company .So in order to gain more power , some people use a lot of means to get it. Sexual Harassment is one way .The leaders use their power to fouce other people who have no power to serve them .If the people have no power do not serve and satisfy with the leaders ,the leaders will fine them or will use all means obstruct their development in the company. Therefore, sexual harassment is very common in the workplace. I think we students should learn how to protect ourselves from sexual harassment so that we can deal with it when it happen to us.

  • Fred-zstu2

    I don’t know what the meaning of this topic is. Just learn how to get out of the sexual harassment and how to make ourselves avoid sexual harassment. I think nowadays china don’t have so much sexual harassment just as you told us in the class. Now the Chinese government tries their best to filter that unhealthy message from western countries, Korea and Japan. Of course this put our life into inconvenience including my failure in my homework, and I was regard as someone of making excuse. I just feel a little pity.

  • David-ZSTU1

    I do aggree on the words ‘Sexual harassment is about power, not sex.’ In the society, the female is playing a more and more important role, which made sexual harassment more often and easier. All of those will leave school to work should learn to protect themselves.

  • kate zstu class2

    I think sexual harassment is about benefit,power.Of course,that in this movie may happen in our real life.This is the first time I hear that a woman has sexual harasment to man.As you say in our class,I think she is not normal.Many people who live in the world should have principle and brief that can be amplified as notion changes ,but it can not be enlarged arbitrarily.

  • Ann ZSTU2

    In the movie, the female lawyer said: “Sexual harassment is not about sex, it is about power, she has it, you don’t “. Yes, power is the main of the sexual harassment, everyone has the desire for power,the desire is a good thing, but don’t go to extremes, never do some against conscience things. People do it, God watching, the truth will eventually come out in the wash.

    This moive is about business,it is difficult to believe that man get sexual harrassment from woman.So,when we are faced with the situation,we may protect ourself by law.

  • MiYa ZSTU 2

    I agree with the idea that sexual harassment is not about sex, it’s about power. Meredith and the company used all kinds of methods including sexual harassment to pursue for power and their commercial profits. Tom filed charges of sexual harassment to keep his innocence and tried to keep his job.

  • Amy ZSTU4

    Now sexual harassment is a serious problem in modern society.We should know what types of conduct are illegal sexual harassment and try to avoid the situation which may cause to it.If it happend,we absolutely must take appropriate action.Sexual harassment is not about sex,it’s about power.So we need to be careful that we don’t trample on the rights and respect due the alleged offender.

    In the company people often use their working right to complete his own business ambitions. Sexual harassments often appear in the company. When we encounter this kind of thing, we should think of using legal means to protect themselves. Second, we should try to let ourselves out of this kind of environment.

  • JordanZSTU4

    I am thinking that sexual harassment is so common,how can we protect ourselves? If we want a promotion in a company,but if we not to give up to power,it seems that we cannot have a promotion. Oh,my Godness,what a terrible thing.

  • Rich zstu2

    “Sexual harassment is about power,not sex.” I agree with professor’s opinion.In the past,man have more authorities than women.Women often had a low position.Male and female are treated unfair in many aspects.Now,women become more powerful,they also have enough rights in society.Sexual harassment also happened by women.So goverment should make laws to protect man,It is necessary.

  • Wendy ZSTU2

    I agree with your point of view. Sexual harassment is about power, not sex. Harassment can happen anywhere but is most common in the workplace, and schools. When we encountered this problem, we must actively take steps to protect myself. For example, do not be alone in a room. And do something carefully to avoid other people getting your mistakes.

  • catherine ZSTU 2

    In the beginning, I think it’s about bussness war, sexual harassment just the sueface performance. After classmates’ talking, I realized that the strife openly and secretly just as background of this movie, haha, I made a misunderstanding!

  • luisa zstu 5

    In this materialistic world , sexual harassment is so commonly happened in the workplace, campus, and any other public occasion.. It not only happened on a women, but also a man. Sexual harassment is a matter of power rather than sex. In china, the law to protect women from sexual harassment is exist but with no effectiveness.It just like a paper which is to see but not to use. So, as a woman, I want to say that we should avoid something and stop it happening as far as possible. If it really happened, I think that the damage is inevitable to the family and marriage. And we should be brave enough to deal with it.

  • Neil zstu4

    This movie tells us that in the workplace,competition among people is heated,we should adapt to the complex and cruel environment,if not,we will fail. On the other hand,the movie shows us that there is no eternal enemies,no eternal friends,only the strong and the wise could survive at last.

  • Ben ZSTU 4

    To get a promotion in business, working hard is not enough and organizational politics behavior may also need. So we should realize that protecting ourselves from sexual harassment is our right.

  • Allen Zstu Class2

    Disclosure is a good story. It contains some deep meaning in our society. After watching this movie we deeply realize that we should protect ourselves in tactful and legal way in the society. Fist is not true power but law.

  • Tracy T. ZSTU5

    In the real life, there are many things about sexual harassment to happen whether in the workplace or campus. In the movie, it is about a man being sexually harassed, which I had not heard before. At the same time, it shows up the sinister and ruthless side of the workplace. In the time we are about to work, it makes us start thinking about the problem that what we should or can do facing sexual harassment as a woman.

  • DarrenZSTU2

    Some people love money,some people love power and some people love fame. I think there are less people simply like sexual harassment. It’s human nature to get what they want by legitimate or illegitimate methods, no matter you are a man or woman. Our desire compels us to do these. Therefore, we realize it’s normal that a man or a woman owning power infringes his or her understrapper by sexual harassment or other approaches to get what he or she wants.

    In the modern city, interpersonal relationship is so complex and office politics is increasingly acute. We may come across different affairs about power or sex, company personnel should maintain an appropriate distance from the opposite sex in their daily work and know how to say “No” to those unreasonable demands.

  • miky zstu2

    Surfacely the movie of Disclosure tells us something about sex harassment in the company. However from the deeper point of view the movie mainly tell us how to get stronger power and authority in the corporate. The sex harassment is only a mean for achieving their conspiracy.

  • andy.zstu.4

    No matter one who is man or a woman,if he or she gets a position of authority and he or she can be just as oppressive and ambitious. Sexual harassment is about power, not sex.We must take some strategies to avoid sexual harassment and protect ourselves.

  • Chandle zstu 2

    I agree with professor’s opinion. Sexual harassment is about power, not sex.I learn a lot from the movie. For example, when we have been sexually exploited we can do it. In our opinion, you should keep your distance and don’t stay alone in his(her) office and so on. In business we must learn to protect myself.

  • Elaine Zstu2

    This movie makes me very impressive. This film developed the sexual harassment to the lies. In my view, not every ordinary people could climb up when he fell. But the actor in this movie did. I think the female lawyer awoke him that she told him sexual harassment is not sexual and it just about power. Actually, the actress was also a victim. In that time, a woman only could show her strong by means of the power. However, the actress used her power in the wrong place. The movie appears to be sexual harassment, but in fact it reflects the power.

  • Henry ZSTU 6

    Keep faith in your heart.Don’t break it!

  • John zstu 4

    I have learned the most important lesson in my life from the movie Disclosure.We should learn how to avoid situations of giving those women in a position of authority opportunity to be together with you alone.It is a very smart method we must know!

  • Sally ZSTU Class6

    From this movie I learned that we should be good for other people,ignore he is your leader or employee,and these people may help you at any time in future.

  • Bill zstu 6

    Female is a dangerous animal,especially when she have power,then she become beast,far beyond your imagination,and then the sex harassment become possible,so be careful with a woman who has power.

  • Tom ZSTU 2

    In this film, a female boss sexually harassing her male subordinate, unbelievable. It can be seen a woman’s power is changing, more and more powerful.I think this is impossible in China, but if happens, then we should learn to protect themselves through the relevant means.

  • peter_zstu6

    In fact,laws of sexual harassment are not sound. People with power is terrible,no matter men or women.As this, we should protect ourselves.Be careful,clear and calm.

  • Jenifer ZSTU8

    We must learn how to protect ourselves when faced with the potential danger of sexual harassment.Be carefull in a complex situation.

  • SandraZSTU8

    People who have power can do something they want, even if the things are wrong and illegal. We should know the law about sexual harassment. When we get a job, we can know how to protect us. I think the beat way to protect ourselves is never give the chance to have sexual harassment. We should never stay alone with the boss.

  • VincyZSTU8

    Sex harassment is not about sex ,is about power .A lot of person meet such things ,it is common in many countries .How can we avoid such things ?Firstly,we should avoid being together with the opposite sex.Secondly,we should state our viewpoint in time and fight against who wants to offend you .Most importantly,don’t afraid of power .

  • Cathy zstu 8

    In the workplace,sexual harassment is not about sex, it is about power. Generally, sexual harassment is a taboo topic in office, because the people who may harass with you is your superior. And now sexual harassment faces another problem is that it is hard to obtain evidences . So it is difficult to win in law, this is also why the victims are forced to endure. Also, I learn that avoiding sexual harassment is the most important, and you told us many useful ways.

  • alicia-zstu8

    This move confused me and this topic made me feel embarrassed at first. The discussion about sexual harassment in the class made me feel shocked because this was the first time to talk about sexual harassment formally in the class. The move told us that if we confronted with sexual harassment , we should take appropriate action to protect our right and never give up any chance that win the right. In our modern society sexual harassment become more and more widespread, everyone should take some measures to protect us from not being involved in sexual harassment and take it seriously.

  • dorothy_zstu8

    Before I watch this movie, I never know that man will also encounter sexual harassment. sexual harassment means power. If a woman has power, you should careful with yourself. The sexual harassment would possible come.
    As to me, I would avoid to let it happen. If it happens, I would seek friends for help, reject him and warn him not to do it, otherwise I will accuse him.

  • Grace_zstu_8

    I can not agree with more that sexual harassment is not about sex,it is about power.when a women is in the position of authority she can be just as oppressiveas a man in authority. Sexual harassment can be found everywhere, even on campus.Both men and women must learn how to protect thenselves. First,we should avoid the possibility of such things. In case it happens ,I think everyone has their own methods to defuse crises.In our daily life we must prepared enough to deal with this kind of things,because it is around us.

  • Alice_zstu8

    In the business world,promotion is not an easy task.There is full of intrigue and plots in the process of promotion.We We should adopt a positive attitude to face difficulties.Sexual harassment may happen in the workplace.As the movie said,sexual harassment is not about sex,is about power.We should learn to use legal means to protect our legitimate rights.

  • Tomyzstu8

    After watching the movie,deepest feeling is that sexual harassment is the power rather than sex.Commercial business is full of conspiracies.The surface is sexual harassment,but hidden commercial plot.On the surface,the fight ended in victory for Tom.In fact,Tom just is a pawn in the power struggle.

  • Agatha_zstu6

    With the development of our society, the status of women in life is improved a lot. And women are the leader in many departments and have more chance to sexual harass others. So it’s necessary to make law to prevent this to happen.
