The United States is often viewed (by outsiders) as a litigious society, where everyone has a lawyer and is willing to sue someone else on the merest basis. Until recently, Europeans believed that sexual harassment suits are just part of this American penchant for litigation. Europeans saw flirting between a male supervisor and a female subordinate as natural chivalry at work. Yet according to The Economist (2002, March 2), “Europe may be following America’s often flamboyant practices in such matters.” This article presents the tripling of such cases in Britain during the past 10 years as an indication that sexual harassment is no longer an American phenomenon. Why do you think this is happening overseas? Explain.
