Over the past fifteen years Americas finest warriors have been sent all over the world battling the war on terror. According to the President, the wars and battles are now over. Due to the President’s lack of combat experience, he fails to realise that the battles still continue. These battles are not in Afghanistan, Iraq, or any other country, the battles are now here in the United States. Veterans with and without PTSD are and will continue to relive those battles in their minds for the rest…

On Wednesday October 2nd, I attended the event Turn The Red Zone Green. A group of students came up with this campaign called the Green Light Campaign. They were hoping to create a safe space as well as stop victim blaming. The group does not agree with the saying no is no, because that means something already occurred that one of the individuals did not agree with. Instead the speaker stressed that it is important to talk about consent. The focus of the event was to educate individuals on…

According to the Crime Museum, a serial killer is conventionally defined as a person who murders three or more people in a period of over a month, with “cooling down” time between murders. Often driven by a psychological thrill or pleasure, serial killers murders must be separate events. Serial killers commit murder in different places over a long period of time. The characteristics of a serial killer often lack empathy, guilt and often become egocentric individuals. They also hide their true…

extreme sexual assault, such as rape, are not the result of an immodest woman. People who perform these actions act on their own accord. Categorizing immodesty as the sole reason for these advances is unnecessarily victimizing women and claiming that women should dress modestly to avoid harassment is diminishing to women. A woman’s clothing or demeanor should not automatically deem her a victim. Mutual respect among opposite genders is slowly…

Sexual assault has been a part of the culture on college campuses for years. Only somewhat recently has the issue been given the attention it deserves. Many students and advocacy organizations have been working to stop sexual assault on college campuses and bring attention to the aspects of American culture that normalize it. The normalization of sexual assault was made especially prevalent in Stanford swimmer, Brock Turner’s, case. Turner was released after only 3 months in jail, to the outrage…

Although so much has changed and improved in rape culture, there is still so much growing that still needs to occur. Far too often, the victim blames his or herself. Regardless of the amount of clothing they were wearing, or if they were voluntarily on a date with the person, or if they were drunk, it is never the victim’s fault. This was very hard for me to understand, and over the past two years, my mind has been flooded with many contradictory thoughts. Was I raped? Of course not. You…

Rape and the Voice of Reason Rape is arguably one of the most devastating things a person can do to another human being. It’s an act that strips the victim of their autonomy and their humanity, treating them like nothing more than an object for the aggressor to enact their desires upon. In a study conducted using 900 women chosen at random, one in four of the women had been raped. (D.E.H.) Each year in the United States alone there is an average of 288,820 victims age 12 or older of reported…

Abuse comes in many different forms, both physical and mental, and it often occurs from people we initially trust to treat us well. (Why Don’t You Just Leave?). It is often brought up that the victim of domestic abuse would be better off if they left their abuser and moved on with their lives. While this blanket statement appears harmless and logical, it is a long term solution and, contrary to popular belief, actually poses greater risk to the victim in the short term. Horror stories of victims…
