The hugely attractive hotel in Beverly Hills named Peninsula has been put in a troubled situation. This hotel rakes in all the high dollar and upper class people of California and travelers and is known for its huge population of celebrities. This can be compared to the the Hotel Zaza downtown Dallas. Recently, the staff at the hotel have accused guests of sexual harassment, and esteemed actresses' such as Ashley Judd and Gwyneth Paltrow have accused Harvey Weinstein of the harassment. However, there has been no evidence that there have been such allegations, such as grouping womens breast, which has created an uncomfortable situation. Turns out, because of this Chicago, New York, and Seattle have tired to create new standards and new ways to pre check customers of such nice hotels.
This relates to APUSH because pre Civil War, women were not able to stand up for their rights, but now they are able to. Women gained more respect post war because of their importance to the world. I think that it is amazing that people are able to stand up against things such as sexual harassment, and I think that it is sad that women felt scared to share this before.

I love that this issue has become such a prominent thing in the media. It has gone on forever, and people are finally making a stand.
