Sexual Battery Research Paper

Decent Essays
PBA has decided to make some changes to how sexual battery is defined in our policy. We have defined sexual battery in line with the state. Florida defines battery as unwanted penetration. Forced sexual acts, requests or contact are assault.

Other institutions have a more broad definition. PBA will comply with the state's definition. This change in our policy will help students and faculty grasp the law.

It is expected that students and faculty won’t engage in nor promote such conduct. If this occurs it must be reported. Reports will lead to further investigation.

PBA strives to instill biblical values. Sexual misconduct is against what the bible teaches. Our rules must align with our mission. Our mission is to enlighten minds, enrich

The former is rather easy to prove in most sexual harassment claims.…

    It seems that in society today it is becoming more common place to hear stories of inappropriate behaviors in sports. In particular we hear of these stories in the NFL and how the male dominated leadership has been ineffective in addressing these prevailing problems of inappropriate behavior, including sexual and domestic violence. Therefore, it is imperative that women take leadership positions in sports to initiate and enforce no tolerance policies for inappropriate behaviors, to change the current transactional culture to a more transformational culture, and educate prospective and new athletes on the responsibilities of being public figures. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell recently acknowledged that he mishandled the Ray Rice situation where the football player assaulted his girlfriend punching her unconscious.…

    On the other hand, Deontology, also known as Kantianism, is an ethical theory based in rationalism where the motives determine the ethical value of the act, not the consequences. In deontology, Kant suggests that there are universal ethical rules that are common sense and gathered through reason, not experience (Burkhardt and Nathaniel, 32; vol. 2). Therefore, the moral rules are applicable to everyone regardless of the situation. As a result, everyone who is a person has the right to equality, privacy, veracity, and freedom. Another important aspect of deontology is the idea of humans creating their own destinies and making their own decisions.…
