No Visible Bruises Video Reaction: In the short video, No Visible Bruises: The Katie Koestner Story, Katie Koestner is first seen in the Dean’s office bringing forth her rape case to the Dean so she can charge her perpetrator, Victor for raping days earlier. Before Katie even enters the Dean’s office she is showing clear signs of distress after Victor raped her and keeps on having flashbacks about the event until the Dean calls her into her office. Katie tells the Dean her side of of the story of what happened that night which was that Katie went on a date with Victor who is known to be “the hot guy” on campus but, also has “been around a lot with girls”. During their date at the restaurant, Victor asks Katie if she will join him and share a glass of Champagne with him. At first Katie is hesitant and says no, but Victor essentially guilt trips and pressured her into having a drink with him. For me, this would be one of the first indicators that not only is Victor not actually interested in her, but was purposely trying to get her a little drunk so then it was easier to get her to have sex with him. I would ask start to wonder what the rest of his personality is like as well if Victor was pressuring Katie to share a drink with him. Another indicator for me was, is after they left the restaurant, Victor tried at first taking Katie to a frat party which of course again, is another way he could try to get her a little tipsy so he could get into her pants by getting her drunk
Victor seemed to care less and just wanted his
As of now, Victor is in a bit of a tricky situation. After being asked to be taught French by the girl whom he loved, the teacher recognizes this moment as one of which he’s braved through before. He as well lied about having been able to know how to do something, and felt like he should perhaps help Victor in this situation. The idea often recurs in the story that lying and deception might in some ways, be risky, yet profiting for the purposes of “good.” This follows my theme statement, of which states how lying could be a risk people can take in order to love them. A third time this happens, where it is very lightly touched upon. Victor’s friend often scowls throughout the story in order to make him look like the men on magazines in brightly lit homes. He believes that this “makeup” as one might call it, make him look handsome and
1. Since, it is unknown if Victor is physically abusive to his wife (stage two), it seems that Victor goes back and forth between phase one and phase three. It is known that he threatens his wife during arguments (phase one) and that he always goes through the ‘remorse’ stage afterwards by apologizing after each argument (phase three). He may be threatening to leave her, and not actually be verbally/physically abusive or violent (stage two).
Victor’s unethical actions are motivated by his pride, and he is conflicted as to whether or not tell the truth. This is represented when he thinks to himself, “A thousand times rather would I have confessed myself guilty of the crime ascribed to Justine; but I was absent when it was committed, and such a declaration would have been considered as the ravings of a madman.” (73) By saying this, it is inferred that Victor meant that he does not want people to think he is mad for claiming he was guilty in place of Justine. He knows that it is the correct, ethical thing to do, but he places his social standing, dignity, and pride over his ethics and
For evidence, she provides data about sexual assault: “According to a 1998 study by the federal government, one in five of us have been the victim of rape or attempted rape, most often before our seventeenth birthday. And more than half of us have been physically assaulted, most often by the men we live with” (430). On top of that, Kilbourne makes it a point to provide visuals and ads
‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: Eric’s Announcement Irks Many, Katie Resolves to Fight Back and Quinn Continues with her Plan
During the spring of 2014, a 15 year old girl at St. Paul’s School had been raped by then senior, Owen Labrie Jess Bidgood and Motoko Rich, from The New York Times, state in their article, “Rape Case Puts Focus on Culture of Elite St. Paul’s School” that the senior had pre- planned his “senior salute”, a school ritual in which older students make sexual advances towards the younger ones. With the evidence of a handwritten list, prosecutors concluded that Labrie had the intentions of “scoring” the most girls, with the victim’s name in capital letters. Prosecutors said that the young girl did not feel comfortable with his advances at first, but after some persuasion from a mutual friend, she decided to go along with it. However, Labrie’s plans
He is found not responsible on all four accounts. “The investigators find that [he] may have interpreted [her] actions as consent,” was what had been stated in the report. Cassie’s actions, her silence and passivity, her frozen trauma state, may have been interpreted as consent. Yet, included in the very same email she received was an attachment to the University’s detailed Policies and Procedures on “Harassment, Discrimination, Sexual and Relationship Misconduct”. Here in this document under the section of effective consent are two lines: “Consent cannot be implied through acceptance of an invitation,” and, “Silence and passivity cannot be interpreted as an indication of consent” (Harassment). Implied. Interpreted. Yet, these are the exact grounds on which the Office of Equity and Inclusion based their decision. Not to mention, Cassie never said a single “yes” to anything and was never actively engaged with anything going on. To the Office of Equity and Inclusion at Creighton University, her no’s meant nothing. Cassie decided to write an
She was passed out drunk; she was not conscious: As a matter of law, she could not have given her consent. Sticky Drama did screen-record proof of the assault, but we're trying really really hard to be good sponsor-friendly little faggots, and so we're not going to show
1.Baumgartner supports her argument by giving her own experience in retail as an example as well as using brands that are popular and allowing the reader to identify with and form a correlation between her argument and our understanding. She does a good job when using supporting sources such as: she uses her own testimony, analogy, narration. Some of the strong points include the analogy when she compares wearing clothing brands to the dancing banana and when painting the picture of the Abercrombie model and using her own involvement with her obsession with clothing while in school.
Katie remembered the Sergeant writing something on her chart regarding her claims of sexual assault, but taking no other action. Katie was then sent back with a medical exception due to her back pain.
Victor’s lack of trust for those around him throughout the film enable him to assume those
In Smoke Signals directed by Chris Eyer, the journey that Victor had taken to Phoenix, Arizona seemed like a simple task to achieve, but then realizes how his anger for his father is unworthy, and learns to accept what had happened in the past. In the beginning, Victor learns that his father has passed away in Phoenix, all he feels is hatred, but agrees to go there, just to attain the truck. As he leaves the convenient store to cash a check, he returns home to get ready for his trip, but then has flashbacks of childhood memories he had with his father. It wasn’t the greatest memory, his father was a drunk and beat him for the simplest mistakes he made. As the scene goes on, you notice that he has a snobby attitude and doesn’t want anything
They feel as though there is no one that can help them and that they are alone. This phase “may be expressed several hours or even days after the crime” (Bard and Sangrey, 1979, pg. 35).
One night, “Amy,” a student at State, was hanging out with some friends in her room. “A bunch of people were there, and one guy I didn’t know was obviously drunk and kept asking me out. I tried to brush him off, and didn’t take it seriously because he was drunk. I left to go to sleep. “He followed me to my room and kept banging on my bedroom door, trying to push it open and asking me to talk to him. I talked to him for a little while just to appease him.” Finally, the guy’s friends coaxed him away from Amy’s door. “I don’t know if that’s sexual harassment,” she said. “I wasn’t worried that he was going to assault me. The whole thing was just annoying.”
