The following safety tips can help reduce the chances of being a victim of rape: Carry items that you can use if you need to call attention to their situation (such as whistles and personal alarms). Consider the possibility of taking a self-defense course. This can give you confidence and provide useful skills and strategies for different situations. Do not ask to ride. If your vehicle breaks down and someone offers to take, ask the driver to call for help while you stay locked in the vehicle. If someone tries to assault you, scream loudly or blow a whistle. If you are walking or jogging, avoid secluded or isolated areas. Arrange to leave with at least 1 friend rather than alone. It is also best to do this type of activity during daylight
Some would find this scenario humorous because of it being a male as the victim and that woman shouldn’t be more victimized because they are women in the and be questioned on whether they were raped.
“Feminism has not prepared them for this,” states Camille Paglia in her essay “Rape: A Bigger Danger than Feminists Know.” The “them” in Paglia’s statement is referring to women, and she is discussing the topic of date rape. Susan Jacoby, on the other hand, writes in her article “Common Decency,” that feminism is not responsible for the rising cases of date rape, but that it is the men who are at fault. Paglia’s argument is insightful and accurate, but Jacoby’s writing is flawed and not well-researched. Paglia includes all rhetorical appeals and persuasive techniques, while Jacoby lacks in some departments of persuasiveness and fills the gap with logical fallacies. Comparing both of these papers will help the reader see why

Danger can take shape in many forms, one of the most prevalent in our society today sexual assault. According to the Campus Sexual Assault Study (CSA), 1 of 5 women will be sexually assaulted during their experience at college. This is a staggering and frightening amount. A study commissioned by the U.S. Department of Justice, The Sexual Victimization of College Women, has findings even more grim than the CSA. It states that 1 of 4 college women will be raped.
The documentary, Rape in the Fields, explores the experiences of women farm workers who are either documented or undocumented immigrants. Unfortunately, many of the men that these women work with take advantage of that fact by using it as a threat in order for them to commit sexual assault towards these women. The issues of “unwelcome” and “involuntary” actions, power and powerless, vulnerability, and receiving help for these women are all portrayed within this documentary. As defined in the presentation, “sexual conduct is unwelcomed whenever the person subjected to it considers it unwelcome.”
It's useless to acknowledge a problem and not offer any sort of improvement or suggestions. College and Universities should be responsible for providing sexual assault prevention as well as awareness especially to freshman and sophomores since most sexual assaults happen in the first two years of college. It is important that sexual assault prevention strategies be set up in a matter where incoming students are educated as soon as enrollment is completed. Programs should focus on both prevention for women who have not experienced any sexual assault and also provide prevention to those have experienced it before. Providing accurate information on legal definitions of sexual assault, the extent of sexual assault among college women, and risk
After reading the case study and piecing together what I believe might be a torn or strained Lateral collateral ligament with inflammation to the patella. Though the study does not say what caused the damaged to the the knee. The evidence suggest that is the likely diagnoses. My reasoning behind this is because of the edema and swelling to the knee on the lateral portion of the femoral condyle. The LCL orgin is the epicondyle of the femur which is very close in proximity to the condyle causing the ligament to become strain by what ever force was exterted on it. The study also states rectangular shaped chondral defect involving the superior aspect of the central patellar facet with a measuremental defects. This tells me that the person fell
Also in the story, Could You give me a ride, I would normally say, “I cannot leave now because my car is at the garage and my [father] is in a meeting until 7,” when I do not want to go outside and meet other people. If I would really want someone to give me a ride, I would say directly and politely that "If you can, could you please give me a ride? You do not have to if you cannot.” I am not embarrassed of not having a car or do not know how to drive and I do not feel disappointed if the other person refuses. Rather than being indirect
Date rape is the most shocking form of rape because it occurs with a person that you had or could have potentially had a relationship with. Many people don’t understand the actual definition of rape itself. Statistics show that eighty-four percent of men who were involved in a rape did not realize what they did was the legal definition of rape (Koss, Gidycz, & Wisniewski, 1987). Rape is non-consensual sex. It is sex that is not agreed to and forced upon an individual. Men and women can be the target of rape and it is never that individuals fault. There are many cases where rape is shoved under the rug or sometimes not even reported at all. In these cases, the victim of such horrible actions continues to live their life with fear and without
The involvement of women in sexual assault prevention and risk reduction has become controversial. Two paradigms have appeared in regards to women’s involvement in the prevention of sexual assault, the first being that women’s involvement in prevention is empowering and effective. The second tests the ideas that the risk reducing actions performed by women are really effective. The debate is gaining importance in college settings, for the risk of sexual assault is highest in women between 18 and 24 years of age, and college review boards can determine who is to blame in cases of sexual assault on campuses. This study’s goal was to examine rape prevention and risk reduction tips that were offered to college students. The study focused on what
Staying Safe from Rape. As I said before, I am a cautious person. Even though acquaintance rape is the most popular that is harder to prepare for and the exercise lacks in information. The exercise emphasizes stranger rape. Rape is not on the top of my safety concerns because I am a male. It is something I will consider when I start dating in the future.
