Warren states that the teacher is so respected at the school that there was a petition to “Save Mr. Rosa” (Warren) because everyone saw that this was a hate crime. One does not have to be a celebrity or a female for their nude photos to be shown publicly. The reactions of the society in Rosa’s environment were in his favor because he was a “good person” (Warren). Society’s perceptions of whether the person is good or bad reflects on their reactions to the
