The Hunting Ground "The Hunting Ground" , seen April 10,11, and 12, covered the topic of campus rape. The true

story behind the documentary is as hocking fact about campus rape. Rape is a very big problem

on college campuses. It is not taken that serious in some colleges. About 16% of women are

assaulted on campus and 88% of them do not report it. A lot of times when rape is reported, it is

not as serious as it should be. The rapist might get suspended for a semester of some kind of

simple punishment but it is very rare that they get expelled or arrested. In 2012. 45% of colleges

reported 0 sexual assaults. This shows how a very small amount of people report rape. This

I looked up one of the rapists

Jameis Winston and I found out that he has BB gun complaint, sexual assault allegation,

shoplifting incidents and vulgar comment but he was still seen the great football player while his

victim struggled with her life because he raped her. I was so angry while I was watching this

documentary. I could not believe how ignorant some people were to rape. Some of them even

had the nerve to judge and blame the victims. The way the documentary was presented showed

the emotions of these girls. Looking at the girls, I would have never thought that they were

raped. Watching them breakdown and explain the situation was difficult to look at. The

presentation of the documentary makes them interested and teach them a valuable lesson. The

most important concept i learned was that you can only fully rely on yourself to make a change.

You cannot expect someone to stand up for you or protect you. Another lesson I learned was you

have to be very careful around the people you know and do not know. Especially at places like

parties, where a lot of people would be there and alcohol and drugs might be involved. I

Analysis Of Melba Beals 'Warriors Don' T Cry

658 Words | 3 Pages

In Warriors Don’t Cry, Melba Pattillo Beals describes her arduous battle for racial equality in the brutal town of Little Rock, Arkansas in the late 1950s. When she was only twelve years old, Melba survived attempted rape by a white man. Scared and confused, Melba went home and told her family. However, they instructed her to keep quiet about the abuse because they believed getting the police involved would only make things worse. Unfortunately, thousands of sexual assaults still go unreported for a myriad of reasons, including distrust in law enforcement and the criminal justice system, the possibility that the abuser will not be punished, and victim blaming, a common occurrence in our society.

SOC 150: Class Analysis

I also learned from the film that sexual offenders are not always the strangers hiding behind the bushes but people that the survivors of sexual assault knew or had had a relationship with. From this unit I also took away that sexual assault cases are treated objectively in court, based on the facts, and that the survivors, who are mostly but not always woman, are blamed for the assault questioning how much they had to drink or what they were wearing. Rape is extremely unreported to or unrecorded by police and rape kits almost never get

Colleges are protecting their public record and do not wish to affect their brand be publicly admitting the high rates of sexual assaults. The documentary focused on a student attending Harvard Law School and the administrators insisted that the female victim should remain silent and avoid spreading the incident around. They asked questions such as, "Did you give him the wrong message, why did you choose not to fight back". Victim blaming is presented when the administrators are more interested in what the victim did wrong rather than what the offender's actions

The Hunting Ground Sociological Analysis

557 Words | 3 Pages

The documentary called The Hunting Grounds, had multiple concepts that relate to sociology. Using a sociological perspective, it was very prevalent to see the ways college campuses use patriarchy and gender stratification to keep women who have been sexually assaulted on campus from disclosing information or even getting help about these issues. Through the discrimination against women at these gender institutions the women formed a Feminist movement to bring awareness and help to the victims on campuses all around the world and to stop the assaults from reoccurring. The Hunting Grounds is a documentary that reveals the untold stories of women on college campuses and how these women have fought to have their voice heard about sexual assault on campuses. Sexual assault and rape on campuses has always been a major problem for colleges all over the world yet very little has been done to protect the students.

Ivory Tower Film Analysis

684 Words | 3 Pages

Ivory Tower Movie The movie Ivory Tower by Andrew Rossi was a great movie that I watched in my total wellness class. It is one of those movies that leaves the viewer with a number of fascinating questions and offers many facts on the present, totally defective system of the higher education in United States. Unfortunately, it does not really focus on one point, nor suggests what to do about this situation. For example, there are at least three sections shown on the documentary that could have spoken about on their own, like a documentary only on that topic, such as the UnCollege Movement, the events at Cooper Union, and the MOOC- Massive Online Courses. There is a lot of information in the documentary that I wish it was shaped into something more solid and to the

Obviously a topic considering people who harm their kids in sexual abuse is a extremely sensitive matter. So the video did give tribute for the victims of the false enjailment. It also showed a well respected side of how people would normally react to this event. People were more willing to believe that these parents did this horrible act rather than coming to the realization that they did not do it as they said. These people would rather believe that the mom and dad would hurt their children without a single shred of physical evidence.

It looks scary how vulnerable the survivor can be at the time of assault. However, as long as the matter of violence is associated, the students at college campuses are safer than their non-college mates.
