I believe Hilary Clinton won the final presidential debate. Clinton’s performance was more persuasive than Trump’s because she spoke with sophistication and intelligences. This country can go in two directions. The first way is up, with Clintons ideas and views I believe our country can become great and everything from trade to economy can thrive. The second way is down, with Trumps and his ideas to build a wall to keep immigrants out and his lack of commence sense and human decency.…
Tyler Apt Hartman 80205-GAH 2116-006 28 September 2016 Rape: A Serious Issue Rape is a serious social and public issue in the United States. Women are usually the victims of rape, while men are usually the offenders. The majority of women are sexually assaulted by men who they are familiar with. Women are far less likely to report a rape if they know the person who assaulted them.…
Not only does rape and the idea of “predator and prey” exist in the real world, but it is becoming a normal part of college, high school, and even middle school culture--commonly being referred to as “rape culture”. “By using the label of “rape culture”, this gives power to the idea of a societal undercurrent in which all women are treated as objects by all men who escape any responsibility whatsoever.” (Ross) Evidently, women are still seen as objects in many societies, and Speak does an excellent job of highlighting this injustice and showing the struggles one goes through when confronted with rape and…
Politically we live in a quite polarizing time. Between the two viable presidential candidates and an equal amount of dissatisfaction of those candidates on both sides, the fate of this country is seemingly up in the air. Though the election holds a discernable amount of media coverage and attention of the public every term the media coverage of this particular election has been dominated by the hateful rhetoric and call to violence of a particular candidate. The candidate calling for this violence is Donald Trump, he on multiple occasions has called for violence against protesters telling his audience how he would like to see them “punched or maimed”. Encouraging his supporters to do so by promising to cover their legal fees if they get arrested…

Attitudes and actions within society reflect the normalization of sexual assault and violence. Rape culture is present in the daily lives of all Americans, whether it be a young woman being cat called on the city streets or a tolerated joke about rape. Social codes are a vital part of this attitude. Men are taught to be dominant and their violence and aggression is condoned because it is considered their nature. There is a culture in which young men are taught to score, get laid, bang or screw; all terms which are inherently violent and do nothing to include the consent vital for sex.…
Currently the United States has one of the highest rape rate among countries, every 107 seconds, someone in the United States is sexually assaulted with the number of victims being 293,000 each year (Kahn). With many of the attacks being unreported and unrecognized sexual assault is said to be a silent- violent epidemic. The causes and reasoning behind sexual assault are entrenched into our society. Richardson and Shields make a point saying students are not the victims and “rape culture” but the victims of a damaged institution that contributes to risks of sexual assault ( Richardson and Shields 27). Women are staggeringly more likely to be the victim of sexual assault, while men are almost always are the perpetrators.…

Women’s rights have come a long way in the last century and still have a long way to come. Donald Trump is notorious for his incendiary comments and actions toward women, one such example of this occurred in his 1994 interview with ABC News: “I think that putting a wife to work is a very dangerous thing. Unfortunately, after they're a star, the fun is over for me. It's like a creation process. It's almost like creating a building.…

Rape culture varies in many different forms. “In a rape culture, women perceive a continuum of threatened violence that rages from sexual…
Rape is a silent epidemic amongst many contradicting topics. I say silent because there are a high number of rapes compared to the very low number of reports. Something so obvious can also be oblivious to many especially when an individual isn’t aware that even they can become a victim of sexual assault. It’s so easy to think this way when you or anyone you know hasn’t come face to face with sexual assault. Many of these individuals are college students especially those on or near college campuses that are constantly on the go to attend class, parties, extracurricular activities etc.…
When american culture thinks of rape, women are immediately the victims that come to one's mind. We’ve painted a picture that says, women are initially the one gender that can be raped, and if we were to think a man could get raped by a women. It would be absolutely ridiculous to think a women could overpower a man. We have adapted to live in a civilization that romantics about masculinity. Unfortunately in the process we’ve turned a blind eye to smallest anticipation that a man can be raped by a women as well.…
