Please help so I won’t post it again!

Decide whether sexual harassment occurred,
could or should have done differently, and what the "victim" could do about the problem or potential problem.

A construction worker whistles and applauds as an attractive woman walks by his construction site every day. The woman always quickens her pace to get past the building as fast as possible, every once a while she smiles a little, suggesting that she enjoys being found attractive. The worker's buddy pokes him and says he could be putting the company at risk for a sexual harassment lawsuit, but the worker doesn't think that's likely to happen and continues to whistle and applaud at attractive women.

Answer:

In my view, this would depend on how the lady felt and how she communicated with the man. meaning if the Lady indeed enjoyed being praised then I don't believe this would be put in under sexual harassment, however even though the prompt said she smiled it also mentions how she would quicken her pace. But this can have several meanings, lets say she did enjoy it then there might be a possibility that she would hurry off being embarrassed by the compliments. Now if indeed she hurried off being uncomfortable then she should tell the worker that, after seeing his reaction they can either reconcile or in other scenarios she may be able to charge him for sexual harassment.
