Types of rape

The Destruction of Monogamy and the Abandonment of Offspring. Think about growing up, and all the fun you had with your parents. How much you love them. Just take a moment to think about the possibility of never having them as a child. Every memory would practically vanish at that point. Well that actually becomes a reality in the book Brave New World, because there society thought of two consenting adults having a child was taboo. So they created a systems in which they conditioned them to…

My overall impression of Freakonomics pertaining to the subject matter is that the documentary segments focus in on real-life struggles that families from all different walks of life go through. It was interesting to find out names can have an affect how well a child performs in school and their future careers. The definition of causality seems unnecessary in everyday life. We define causality as a connection between two events or states that one produces or brings about the other; where one is…

“Over the past 11 years, I have watched and photographed thousands of men visiting Kamathipura to find pleasure.” This was stated in an article written in 2013 informing people about the amount of grown men visiting young girls for ‘pleasure’. Although most American teens have an idea that these practices were happening, it wasn't until reading this novel people would understand how this continues. The author of Sold, Patricia McCormick was successful in her purpose of explaining to an an…

The story of Tracey Thurman and her husband's abuse is tragic and horrifying yet, without it, more women would have experienced similar violence or worse. Tracey was abused to the point where she was nearly murdered and the police had everything they needed to prevent it from happening but because of a corrupt department that was not responsive to her distress signals and loose laws about domestic violence, Tracey had little opportunity to find help. Fortunately, not only did Tracey survive…

Wrongful convictions are an atrocious act; wrongfully stripping an individual of his God given freedom for majority of his or her life and attempting to compensate them with monetary settlements cannot rectify such a heinous situation. Eyewitness misidentification is the greatest contributing factor to wrongful convictions proven by DNA testing, playing a role in more than 70% of convictions overturned through DNA testing nationwide. Ronald Cotton is a prime example of how unreliable eyewitness…

Rape culture is yet another product of a senseless society. It indoctrinates women into believing that rather than teaching men simply to avoid such a brutal act of aggression, women are taught to avoid being raped all together. As if it were to be willingly brought upon themselves in any way. Such an obscured perspective is strengthened by the flawed reality that the victims of rape are typically blamed rather than the rapist himself. Very few individuals have a thorough understanding of the…

The Effects of Sexual Assault on Victims and Secondary Survivors Sexual assault is a very serious offence. Sexual assault may seem to affect only one person, the victim. However, sexual assault effects the family and social support networks of the victim, these people are called secondary survivors. From the moment the assault takes place thorough medical attention, therapy and in most cases, all the proceedings that come with laying charges and ensuing legal proceedings, the victim goes…

It was even split seven men for gambling and seven women for prostitution to focus. I think this split was because of the gender involved in each crime type. Women tend to be the main gender affected by or involved in the prostitution while gambling is usually perceived as involving male victims or contributors. In movies and television gambling usually involved male criminals or mobsters and their debt…

I believe these women, just as many other immigrants, come to the United States in pursuit of better life. Poverty, unemployment, inequality in China must have driven them to come here. They could have been attracted by the prospects of getting a well-paying job, an opportunity to send money to their families at home or a chance of marrying and American citizen and becoming citizens themselves. They could have been lured into the country by the stories of success they have heard from the people…

Lyn M. Bechtel discusses Genesis 34, which is a controversial verse in the Bible because it might involve rape. Genesis 34 tells a story of two young people, Dinah and Shechem, in which Shechem has sexual intercourse with Dinah and it is perceived by biblical scholars and other readers to be non consensual, therefore, classified as rape. The girl, Dinah, is Jacob's daughter, who is unmarried and not bonded to any other at time time of intercourse. Many scholars believe that the intercourse…
