Sexual Assault Reflection

Reflection:
In general, most of the research does not look at the media’s perception of sexual assault. Most articles look at topics related to sexual assault. Some articles look at Greek life and Greek member’s risky behavior, which can overlap with alcohol and drug use that relates to sexual assault. A main theme is that students associated with Greek organizations are much more likely to consume more alcohol and participate in risky activities.

So, this topic will either have to be combined with something else, or more articles will have to be found about them. I have not combined it yet, because I believe that this is a important topic especially when talking about the media and its
