Improved Essays
The name of the article is called The Rape Without Women by Sharon Block. The author's purpose for writing this article is to inform his readers about how rape affected many men throughout this time. This was known as committing a sin and harm to society. Feeling comfortable with others was a sign of respect. In their society throughout this time period, the word rape was known their class status and who were the bosses.
The author’s main thesis
I believe that the author's main thesis may be found on page 850, on the first passage and the last sentence of this passage. For the main purpose I think that this may be her thesis because she point at starting off saying “Focusing” when the authors starts off their sentences in this keywords,

This picture that the author added is a scene of a european man, a european women and as well two natives men. The women is covering her eyes while the european men is forcing a native men to drink some tea who is laying on the ground, and the other man that I mention is on the ground as well. The author really did not provide any visual sources that her reader could image what was happening throughout this period of time and how the natives women and men felt towards being harm. By analyzing this images I believe the author did showed just image to her readers how men were being mistreated but really did not showed any other times of events that occur at this time. According to this propaganda the man is suffering from this is probably going to be seen as a female to her readers but for me she is seen more like a male, I believe this because throughout the Boston Tea Party the British were in power over the Americans, this also relates to the article how men were harmed by seeing how this male iis tire down and a British man is holding him down so he won't escape. If the author could have just added one or two more images throughout this time period then it will have made her work better, but overall she did a great job explaining her

    Introduction The correction system in America is in many ways, deeply flawed. The ideology of prison is that it is created with the general purpose of making people better, morally and ethically, it was supposed to be the adult version of time out, take away someone’s freedom as a person for a while and hope that the same person would learn a lesson and change for the better. But in real life, people who get arrested for minor or not so major crimes gets locked up with the murderers and rapists. The convicted may not be such a bad person; he or she could have had a bad day and did some thoughtless regrettable things.

    In the article “It’s Time to End ‘Rape Culture’ Hysteria” by Caroline Kitchens a stance on rape in America is taken. Kitchens discusses the grave rape conflict of America, and goes about making her audience believe that rape “culture” is not an intelligent idea. Kitchens argues that the idea of rape culture has led to hysteria. From Kitchens’ word choice it is obvious that her tone is informative yet contemptuous. She mocks the idea of others by calling them, or the way they choose to think, hysterical.…

    1. Why was it important for Sandy to keep the school principal and others informed about her plans? It is important to keep the school officials informed because she would have to validate her reasoning for wanting to address the situation via a group rather than individually. Because this is not the school 's usual protocol and there would probably be some skepticism of her desire to handle the situation in this manner, so it is important for this to be a collaborative effort. Moreover, Sandy was working with teens who had a history of violent behavior, so for her safety and the children 's as well it would be wise to keep officially informed of the group 's progress.…

In definition, rape culture is a culture in where rape or sexual violence is condoned or normalized, but deeper in the definition there are other subjects such as victim blaming, objectification and much more. It is when the victims are told to avoid being raped instead of the rapists being taught to have common sense to respect individuals and not rape. Rape culture exists and is a great problem that needs to be terminated and addressed.…

    Rape Poster Analysis

    • 720 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Appendix 2 is an example of another poster from a campaign about rape, but it differs from appendix one as it stands with a more feminist view point. The poster is very much on the side of the victim and recognising them as such, rather than blaming them for being raped. The text is incredibly important as it is reassuring the victim that they are not to blame, that they did not deserve to be raped, and that they will be believed if they chose to confide in others. Intersectionality can be applied by looking at the image on the poster. If you assume the poster suggests that the woman was raped, you can start to identify why she may have been targeted as a victim.…
