    998 Words  | 4 Pages

When Melinda isolates herself from her peers by hiding in the janitor’s closet, the rejection she feels from her peers is being negatively reinforced; therefore, encouraging Melinda to continue isolating herself.

These programs are unsuccessful due to the fact that they are taught through a computer screen; users never truly interact with the actual experiences and emotions that one goes through during sexual assault.
