CONT

Según esta ley, la diferencia entre acoso y hostigamiento sexual es muy sutil: el acoso se suscita en diferentes espacios, sea en escuelas, las familias, en el transporte público o en el trabajo y opera de manera horizontal entre personas de jerarquías homólogas o de parte de alguien que ocupa una posición menor a la de la persona acosada. Mientras que el hostigamiento sexual opera de manera vertical y se ejerce de parte de un superior jerárquico que utiliza su posición o cargo para obtener alguna satisfacción a través de ofrecimientos o amenazas relacionadas con la situación laboral de la persona subalterna.

OBS

El término de acoso se utiliza como sinónimo de hostigamiento. Acosar se refiere a una acción de persecución. Hostigamiento, del verbo hostigar significa también perseguir, molestar. Ambos términos coinciden en molestar a alguien, gramaticalmente el acoso sexual puede definirse como la acción de molestar y perseguir a alguien con motivos o intenciones sexuales. Ambos términos pueden utilizarse indistintamente, sin embargo el de hostigamiento sexual ha sido preferido por la legislación penal mexicana.

Record 2 2017-10-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Basketball
DEF

An aggressive form of defense in which players guard opponents very closely.

CONT

In "pressure" defence, the defending team makes positive attempts to gain possession of the ball and prevent the shot being taken. An extension to the principle of pressure defence leads to the "press". This is a form of defence in which pressure is applied over an area far beyond that from which a shot would normally be taken. In the case of a "full-court press", pressure is applied over the whole court whenever that team is defending.

OBS

The "press" may employ the principles of a zone, man-to-man defence, or a combination of the two.

French
