Intentional assault against any one person may have many lasting effects; physical, sexual, psychological and economic. Based on statistics at the state and local level, violence…

In DuBois’s story he speaks of a black man named John who killed a white man who was attempting to rape his sister, “his dark skinned sister struggling in the arms of a tall and fair-haired man… seizing a fallen limb, struck him with all the pent-up anger in his great black arm.” (DuBois 49-50). In the story black John was hung for killing white John…

1. One way the author describes a moral evil is that it is when someone acts from a coldly hostile calculation. Two of the issues that show this to me are the issues of racism and domestic violence. a. Racism is the discrimination of people simply because they are of a different race than us. At one point in our nation’s history, we let this evolve into slavery. Slavery was truly a coldly hostile calculation. It was the forcing of men, women, and children into work because they were a…

Colleges care immensely about impressions of their campuses to the expense of some of their students. Amy Becker reports in her article “91 Percent of Colleges Reported Zero Incidents of Rape in 2014” that of 11,000 campuses, 91 percent disclosed zero reports of rape in 2014. This appears as a wonderful statistic however it fails to match with research, campus surveys, or experiences reported by college students.

Image taken from (HAVOCA) One of the most important questions a victim of childhood sexual abuse, their family, friends and society in general faces when dealing with the aftermath of child sexual abuse is: whether the victim is doomed to be maladjusted and grow up to be an adult sexual offender?, it is a fact that at least 30% of adult sex offenders were sexually abused as children and/or teens, (Myths and Facts about Sex Offenders).

past. One of the myths we see echoed throughout the story as a reoccurring, central theme to the work is the myth of Philomela. Eliot depicts an image of human stagnation in his work, which can be compared to the unfruitfulness that comes from the rape Philomela story and the loveless central marriage between Procne and the King. The central difference between the two stories is that in Philomela’s version the Gods have the finial answer and are able to create something new unlike in Eliot’s…

With human trafficking being an already severe crime in the United States, the sex trade industry is what has so many young womens lives turned upside down. With the single largest demographic age for targets and victims being between the age of 12 and 15, the long term-impacts are more horrendous than any other (Chaffee & English, 2015). Although the age of 12 thru 15 is when a vast majority of girls are first exploited, the age can range tremendously. However, it is supported that a great deal…
