Unit 7 Workplace Privacy

In the following sentences you will be seeing certain vocabularies given from the unit seven. Today almost all workplaces are provided of  surveillance cameras, so it is important since any wrongdoing can be recorded, but at the same time employees can feel their privacy is invaded. In countries like in the United States,  racial slurs are very common by those who think they are the only ones in right of living there. In my opinion, every single person should think twice about telling a lie or otherwise, their reputation will be in a slippery slope . Do not mess with anybody about things you see they are doing because if you do not have a leg to stand on, you will get into a big problem. It is too bad to know that the Coronavirus is stepping up more and more lately in our country, the Dominican Republic, and people are not protecting themselves enough.
