Estelle is tired of hearing and seeing things about rape in the media. She doesn 't want to think about it. This introductory tone of reluctance is important because it reveals a conflict…

I am going to begin this essay with a heartfelt apology. I wanted to get this out of the way because this is going to be a very opinionated essay, comparable to that found within the last two pages of the online reading Art Without Boundaries. Unlike the aforementioned reading, I do not believe art has cultural boundaries. Neither in the past and especially not in today’s multi-culturally embracing society.
