Introduction

Although rape and sexual assault are serious offenses, public discourse about these issues fail to clearly address the problems that victims go through even after these atrocious acts were committed against them. In reality, despite public acceptance of rape and sexual abuse as crime and the mandate for the punishment of those that commit these acts, the overall public response to these crimes are underwhelming to the point of bringing about detrimental impact on the life of victims. On one hand, we have a system that fails to prevent rape and sexual abuse and protect people and victims alike from ...

Teenage pregnancies are usually unwanted and they are the result of bad sex education. The office of the mayor of New York promotes posters within a campaign that is supposed to prevent such pregnancies from happening and the whole campaign revolves around shaming and blaming. It is not a good decision to become a parent too early in life, while one is still a teenager, but shaming these young people cannot have a good outcome. It is not about blaming, because the issue is related to prevention and fostering a different lifestyle for the young who still need to ...

After Hindenburg was appointed to that position he appointed Erich Ludendorff to be his Quartermaster General. Hindenburg and Ludendorff ...

Apparently, the author depicts that Bucky has poor eyesight and natural defect that makes him unfit to serve his country during the World War 2. ...

In a globalized world, it seems as though culture shock is inevitable. Essentially, people “encounter culture shock whenever they uproot themselves from a familiar setting and move to an unfamiliar one,” (Ting-Toomey & Chung, 2011, p. 93). With millions of people traveling as tourists, finding work in other countries, and students studying outside of their homeland, culture shock is an experience that will ultimately affect so many. For some scholars, what it really boils down to is how a person handles their culture shock, and how their reaction to culture shock will affect their ability to adapt to a new ...

Many authors regard their work as being a single standalone piece of art. By this logic, it can be safe to assume that the authors work their literary pieces to stand out against similar genres of works. However, in some cases many different stories end up sharing the same motif and theme. In many cases like this, it is not because of two authors collaborating to come up with a theme, or lesson, to teach society but a stroke of luck. When forming their stories, authors use society around them to develop their characters, settings, and such so in ...

Be Required for College Students?

In view of the poor results obtained in many freshman composition classes, the inevitable question arises as to the usefulness of such courses.

They yearn to jump into their major courses which they perceive as more relevant to that coveted degree which will be a ticket to a high-paying job. Composition college instructors see with disappointment the continual decrease in quality writing from their students. Not only today’s college students seem unable ...

The Generation of Generation Q is a reaction to Thomas Friedman’s article: Generation Q. The complacency of the current day generation fuelled Friedman’s criticism. Fisherman, on the other hand, came out strongly to disagree with Friedman’s statements. Although Fisherman got some of his facts right, he was completely off the mark on some of his arguments.
Firstly, when Friedman asserts that this generation lazily hides behind technology, nothing can be farther from the truth. Technology has elevated the way people in this generation carry out business and how they study among many other things. With this ...

Upon reading After Silence: Rape and my Journey Back by Nancy Venable Raine, I have come to a great many conclusions regarding my own experiences and opinions of the act. Like her, I had fallen prey to many of the rape myths that has pervaded culture and the media - for example, that women are often 'asking for it,' that they secretly want to be raped, and that they should expect it if they are dressed provocatively. Writing this book seven years after the event is evidence of tremendous forethought, research and reflection on her experiences. Given enough time ...
