Ethos Pathos Logos In The Hunting Ground

No Means No “Are there any parties or places that you have been warned not to go to,” asked the interviewer. The girls replied “Yes, AE which is known as sexual assault expected.” Just like the girls explain to the interviewer, from the start of their college experience, most girls from around the states are told to stay away from certain fraternities because they mean harm. In the documentary The Hunting Ground, viewers learn how college around the states have been covering up rape cases on their campuses. The documentary also explains how victims of these rape cases, have started to stand up for proper justice. The Hunting Ground allows the audience to realize how what is done in the dark can and should be brought to the light, no many what
