Ink Master

In this article it talks about the show “Ink Masters” and that two of the hosts would routinely make unwelcome sexual advances and engage in “non-consensual, unwelcome, and inappropriate touching said a former production assistant. The plaintiff is twenty-five year old Nicoletta Robinson. She said that she is not only standing up for her rights but to raise awareness of this issue.

This article doesn't really connect to anything in class due to the fact it is about sexual harassment. If I had to make a connection it would go along best with what I learned in my business class last year. In businesses you must be ethical and responsible and what happened in this case was not.

I believe that what those hosts did was wrong and that they must serve the consequences for their actions. In this case it does not affect me, however, my family works and I will be working soon as well. That means that it could happen to my family or me and in that situation it would greatly affect me.

The author uses a lot of quotations such as, “Part of the reason that our client decided to go forward with the suit was that she felt she had to stand up, not only for her rights, but to raise awareness,” The use of quotations throughout are important because this impacted not the author but the woman that worked there. This makes the article more credible and accurate because it’s what the people actually said. Another example of the importance of quotations is when Peterson said “There’s plenty of room in there to increase labor costs...” This shows what someone actually believes and isn't biased in anyway by the author.
