Main Causes Of Date Rape

While it is difficult to ascertain whether alcohol may directly lead to sexual assault, it can be speculated that the perpetrators of sexual assault are involved in drinking before committing the crime as a way of justifying their behaviors. Herman contends that men who take alcohol in large amounts at parties and bars are likely to show aggressive or unwanted behaviors towards women (par. 4). Also, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism associates the aggressiveness and victimization to excessive alcohol consumption (par. 1). Herman terms alcohol as the most common “date rape” drug since most of the perpetrators and victims use the same reasoning that they were “too

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver shows the women of the Congo as being the workers of the family. They take care of the children, going so far as to carry them around constantly once they reach a certain age, and they are responsible for all the housework. The females are seen as capable and have many responsibilities. In spite of this, the reality for the real women of the Congo is that they are in constant fear of being a victim of sexual violence. Sexual violence can happen anywhere, but in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) it occurs on a daily basis (Ganzamungu and Maharaj 737).

In society and college campuses, sexual assault occurs quite frequently.

Men have also been reported to be victim of sexual assaults mostly by other men.

However, as long as the matter of violence is associated, the students at college campuses are safer than their non-college mates. Some training and education has been administrated to the students for awareness about the violence and sexual assaults. Even, with increased training and education, most of the college campuses have much longer way to go for decreasing the intensity and number of assaults and the incidents have immense negative impact on the society and people around us.

What is causing this surge in unwanted physical contact? The cause of sexual assault is one hundred percent of the time, the assaulter’s fault. Sexual assault is never caused by a “rape culture” or the clothing that one chooses to wear. Sexual assault is caused by the attacker, never the victim.

Cases like the Larry Nassar case, the Harvey Weinstein case, and the Brock Turner case are just some examples of sexual assault that our society is fighting today.

The United States is facing a growing problem that shows no signs of slowing: sexual assaults on college campuses. Possible reasons for this epidemic are explained by Janet Napolitano, the current president of the University of California. She describes that “young adults live independently and in close proximity to one another for the first time” while attending college (Napolitano 387). The college setting provides students with opportunities to take advantage of one another. As a result, sexual assaults have become an issue across universities in the United States. Sexual assaults are a problem because they can have lasting effects on victims. It is the job of both the government and colleges to find solutions to the problem, by preventing

Sexual assault is a difficult topic to speak about and more so when the officials are not very understanding. Women are sometimes even terrified to speak up about their assault because of what people might think of them and what people might ask such as “What were you wearing?” “Were you drinking last night?” and probably one of the worst is “You were asking for it” all of this reduces the likelihood that they will speak up. And the ones that do, speak up very rarely get the justice that they deserve.This is a huge problem because along with these overwhelming statistics women are more likely to experience psychological disorders such as Depression and PTSD, which then causes them to drop out of schooling (Streng, Tara). This being the case colleges should offer more methods of help to those that have experience with sexual assault and provide accessible prevention methods or

Most teenagers complain about not having enough freedom. To be able to sit and eat ice cream out of the box at ten in the morning for breakfast or blast their favorite music as loud as possible. For most, college provides that, opening its campus to their students with gates of gold granting young adults the freedom that they dream about. Unfortunately, a new danger that once was cloaked from young minds is being revealed, making this freedom less obtainable. That danger is rape.

The 1960s: a time period that highlighted some of the most influential civil rights movements, but have we really improved since then? Since the beginning of time women have been treated unfairly; they are more prone to being sexually assaulted/raped, have ridiculous beauty standards to live up to, and overall are treated like objects of submission and erotic pleasure. Like men, women deserve the ability to choose the lives they want to live and be who they want to be without fear and judgement. The novel, God Don’t Like Ugly by Mary Monroe, analyzes the objectification of women and provides insight to issues in the 60s that are still prevalent today.

What have cigarettes, alcoholic beverages, and firearms done for us in the past? Kill our loved ones? Given us disease? Yes, they have.

I agree that both alcoholic beverage and firearms companies must pay for the problems they cause.

The different ethnicities are contributors to sexual assault for multiple reasons. One of the reasons being their low respect for women. They believe that they are inferior to these women and that they deserve it. Another reason ethnicities are looked at for sexually assaulting another is discrimination. Either way you look at it, a black man assaulting a white woman or vice versa. They use this as a form of hatred towards the opposite sex and race. They also use rape as a punishment for the opposite ethnicities. There are then the substance abusers. These individuals are recognized for partaking in sexual assault because they are accustomed to their bad habits or the presence of the drug or alcohol in their system. It is also explained by these drug and addicts and alcoholics not being in the right state of mind at the time of the assault or when trying to avoid committing this horrendous crime towards another human being. Moving on, athletes influence this topic due to their ego and their aggression and most times chose to act before they think.
