Ifeminist Feminist Conflict Theory

In “ ‘A Steep Price…’” it analyzed the opinions of the public, media, victim, and aggressor in defending their particular take on the case. The article offers mild bias, so it does not completely report the events of the case, because it mostly focuses on the opinionated effects and not so much the facts. In “Feminist Put Judge...”, major bias is introduced by claiming to be in support of the feminist cause; however, the article uses a stronger ethical appeal to attract a broader, more unified audience. In “Here’s the Powerful Letter…”, the author recants the letter the victim wrote to her attacker, Brock Turner. She not only aims for the audience to feel the distress and havoc the case has relinquished on her life, but also a chance to spread a more positive message to thank her supporters while encouraging her audience to stand up for themselves and their self worth. The overall purpose of analyzing all these different media sources is to be able to recognize how the multiple points of view that a story can be told from will alter the objectivity of the event. A society’s culture will emphasis bias or certain point of views to get the public to believe one interpretation of the story based on the

The students who stopped Turner from continuing to assault the young woman stated that they intervened because they could tell that the woman was clearly unconscious. Turner was then subsequently arrested, charged and indicted on two counts of felony assault and one count of attempted rape. However, it was the consequences that Turner faced for his actions which have upset many.

During the trial, the defense questioned the victims ' credibility during cross-examination because of their criminal records. Yet again, rape culture has surfaced. A woman does not deserve to get raped no matter her criminal record. No person deserves or asks to get raped. Rape cases are always fought back by blaming the victim and making the victim seem like a bad person and that is why there will always be

Brock Turner's wealth, image, and color of skin have gifted him years back on a jail sentence likely to exceed 5 if perpetrated by a man not born into the privilege he had been born into. He is just one example of an unjust society that allows men to rape, he is just one man in a world of judges, reporters, and fathers that lead to these tragedies.

A college athlete, known as Brock Turner, age 20, raped an intoxicated woman in a public setting; he was arrested in 2015. There were two witnesses who caught Turner in the act. The victim came before the jury to express how Turner took advantage of her. The sex offender was convicted of 3 felony counts and the prosecutor ruled for him to serve a minimum 6 years in prison. Turner’s father made a statement to the judge saying, "This is a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of actions out of his 20 plus years of life". The judge sentenced Turner to 6 months in prison, but he only completed 3 months as he didn’t serve his full initial sentence in prison.

“I wanted to take off my body like a jacket and leave it at the hospital with everything else.” These were the words of a victim of sexual assault at Stanford University in January of 2015, often remembered as the Brock Turner case. Turner, a member of the Stanford swimming team, was found guilty by the jury after being accused of sexually assaulting another Stanford student (whose identity has remained confidential) and ended up with a short sentence of six months (Victor). The sexual assault victim in the turner case is not alone. 1 in every 5 women and 1 in every 12 men are sexually assaulted during their college careers (NSVRC). In other words, between 20 and 25 percent of college women and 4 percent of college men report having been sexually

Brock Turner was an above average 19 year-old athlete and student at Oakwood High School in Dayton, Ohio. While in high school, Turner was a three-time All American and was enrolled at Stanford University on a swimming scholarship. He was offered a scholarship to Stanford and he took it without any thought. One thing he never thought about was getting indicted of rape of an intoxicated person, rape of an unconscious person, assault with intent to rape an intoxicated woman, sexually penetrating an intoxicated person with a foreign object, and sexually penetrating an unconscious person with a foreign object. Everything that was just listed, is what he was charged with the night of his felony.

On January 17th, 2015, Brock Turner, a 20-year-old Stanford freshman, sexually assaulted a 23-year-old unconscious women behind a dumpster located near a house party. The victim, who decided to not state her name and will therefore be referred to as Emily Doe, admitted in a letter she read aloud in court that that night she drank too much, too fast. However, this isn’t an excuse ‘nor a way to justify Brock’s actions. Someone who is drunk and unconscious should not be taken advantage of, they are still a person who should be respected no matter the circumstances.

There are only one percent of rape accusations that are false. Brian Banks could be considered apart of this one percent. This young boy, at the time, was well on his way to a wonderful career. He had just been accepted to the University of Southern California on a four year scholarship, and famed in his high school, Long Beach Polytechnic High, for his incomparable football skills. But, one day, his life would take a turn for the worst. The Brian Banks case and the Crucible were cases that could be considered inequitable because people were falsely accused, people's lives were set back, and chances of living a care-free life were ruined.

The victim wrote a 7000-word letter to the judge, in which she described how she felt that night, how she felt afterwards and how her life has changed since this incident. The letter also spoke up for sexual assault victims, advising them to speak out about their cases and to seek justice. Despite the victim giving harrowing details of that night, the suspect was only sentenced to six months instead of six years (what the Prosecutors requested), because of the “severe impact”, it could have on Brock Turner (Alexandra,

America stands by traditional notions where rape culture is the norm and revolves around society. In particular, when a woman is raped, their actions prior to the incident are usually accounted for their fate of being sexually assaulted. Lately in America, there has been a controversy over women being victim blamed by legal authority in rape cases. These women are slut shammed for allegedly “asking for it” by being intoxicated and having the intention to “have fun”. Because of these accusations of allegedly seeking to engage sexually, rape victims are blamed for initiating the sexual act. An ongoing controversial rape case is the Stanford rape trial of Brock Turner, where the victim was sexually assaulted while unconscious near a dumpster. Turner was convicted for sexual assault, however was only incarcerated for three months. This has recently caused uproar due to justice and retribution not being equally served. The incident occurred near a university campus party; where alcohol was involved and memory loss was present. In addition, she was rushed to the hospital as a rape victim and was examined. Despite complying to use a rape kit and be evaluated, the victim’s accountability is undermined by the leniency of treatment in rape charges. When examining linguistic features of both parties’ written statements, several factors can be analyzed such as each participant’s stance and the credibility of their accounts. In addition, when dissecting a victim’s written account,

There are different notions that the society has towards both Brock Turner and the victim, but whether good or bad, this case has sparked many new perspectives and conversations about situations such as this. The article proposes that this is only the first step to developing a culture that does not tolerate sexual violence in any form and a judicial system that deals appropriately with cases that involve sexual assault.

In 2015, Brock Turner, a student and swimmer from Stanford University, sexually assaulted a 22-year old woman. The victim was drunk and unconscious at the time of intercourse, and absolutely no consent was given to Turner. Brock Turner simply received a 6-month sentence, which was later reduced to 3-months. Similarly, a 20-year old man from Dallas, Texas, Sir Young, was given a very light sentence after pleading guilty to the rape of a 14-year old girl when he was 18. The rapist received only 45 days in jail, a 5 year probation, 250 community hours, and did not have to follow sex offender regulations, such as staying away from children, going to treatment and evaluation, and no pornography restrictions. The judge stated that the reason she did not lengthen his sentence was because the victim “wasn't the victim she claimed to be” since she had a history of 3 sexual partners and had already given birth to a child. These unbelievably light sentences do not protect women from these men and encourage women not to speak up if they’re victims. Our own justice system continues to fail in providing us our justice while those people get what they

In this essay it will assess to what extent feminism has added to our understanding of society.

This approach basically linked to feminism, an idea that support of social equality for women and men. The importance of gender-conflict approach is to make us aware that men are usually placing in position of power over women and the importance of women to the development sociology. The example of Gender-Conflict Approach is the gender pay gaps between men and women in the workforce. Research shows that women only make just 77 cents to the men’s dollar. Why do gender gap in pay and wealth exist? Simply put, they are the product of historically rooted gender biases that still thrived today. The assessment of labor value is strongly by biased perception of individual qualities though to be determined by gender. These often break down as gendered binary that directly favor men, like the idea that men are strong and women are weak. The next example is the role of woman in conflict. Research examined that the contributions of women to society has produced some observation that are generalized to many culture. In fact, women are ubiquitous to most cultural settings and “where there are not, it is not because they lack the ability or interest in a situation but because there have been deliberate efforts to exclude them”( Lengermann et al in Ritzer (2008), pg. 451). In western country for example, regardless of their demograpghic consideration, women constitute or are forced into
