Pepper spray

The purpose of a higher education is to help students contribute to progress in society. Progress has been made throughout history by the freedom of speech. From the Boston Tea Party to Women’s right to vote, people have made their opposition of the status quo clear by using their voice to make a change. However, Universities are now regulating student’s freedom of speech on college campuses. Students must experience their right to the freedom of speech on college campuses to prepared for the…

Suddenly, you see your father lying on the cold, uncomfortable gurney. Many people surrounding him; they are crushing his chest with their hands folded or calling out words you never even knew existed. His breathing seems almost nonexistent. The shouts “CLEAR” and “STAY WITH ME” come from your best friend as he attempts to rescue your dad. You know your family is coming to mourn; this will be the last time you all say goodbye to your father. How did this happen; moreover, how did your friend end…

just to protect their students from these kinds of criminal acts (1). Students are college’s priorities to protect yet taking their rights to protect themselves or limiting to just using pepper spray could be doing more harm than good. Ball also quoted a student saying that if you don’t find the right pepper spray that it could just blow up in your face, blinding you more than the attacker(1). So with the only defense having between you and an attacker is a small, faulty can of mace is…

On Wednesday October 4th at 7:00 p.m., I attended a speaker that talked about locker room talk and toxic masculinity in Ritsche Auditorium. Byron Hurt is a published writer, anti-sexist activist, and lecturer. He combines his award-winning documentary films with a dynamic speaking style to create questions, re-imagine, and redefine gender roles. To start off his presentation, he talked about the different disasters that are happening in the world. He mentioned the victims from the numerous…

community service or any type of community education programs. Many officers make unreasonable excuses after they commit brutalities. For example they’ll state that a man pulled out a knife or so on. But that is why police officers carry Tasers or pepper spray which can be used instead of a gun. It’s unnecessary to brutally kill someone. Another important thing about all this police brutality is that many officers will violate your…

Dress: noun; an outer garment for women and girls, consisting of bodice and skirt in one piece. Think of a dress, any type of dress. Maybe it’s a lavender sundress, billowing in the summer breeze while she. Perhaps it’s an elegant black ball gown, draped from head to toe complimenting her hourglass figure. It might be a little red cocktail dress, short and sweet but ready for a night out on the town,. Dresses are clothing items made to look elegant and dazzling, to make others feel envious.…

did not stop the protests which met violence in some other cases, such as those at University of California Davis and Berkeley, and in Denver, Colorado. During demonstration in Davis on 18 November 2011, campus police Lieutenant John Pike used pepper spray on seated students.…

The only part of The Last Samurai I found myself turning my nose up at was the ridiculous aspect of romance between Captain Algren and Taka, which truly was just unnecessary. While I love a good empowering female character (Zootopia is my favorite movie, partly because it’s adorable and partly because Judy Hopps is a strong and independent lead female character), Taka’s involvement in this unneeded romance almost ruins her character for me. As the only prominent female character in The Last…

How did this post make you feel? I feel genuinely apologetic for the author because the way she wrote the article makes it seem as though she lives her life in constant fear of a possibility that she may be raped. Did this post resonate with you for any reason? Why? It partially appeals to me emotional because I am female (sex and gender), I’m young, and I have long hair, all of which influence the likely hood of rape. It’s possible, but it isn’t likely and it isn’t something I should base…
