In Michael Crichton's book "Disclosure," he explores the dynamics of power in the context of sexual harassment. The narrative illustrates how individuals in positions of authority often manipulate situations to maintain control, emphasizing that harassment is not just about inappropriate behavior but fundamentally about exerting power over others.
Furthermore, Crichton argues that organizations may resist addressing harassment issues because it threatens their power structure. This resistance reveals how deeply ingrained power dynamics can distort perceptions and responses, often leading to the victimization of those who speak out against such behavior.
