The Brock Turner Case

The members of the Duke Lacrosse team did not have much support from the faculty as the accusations were the headliners for many major media outlets.

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 media in American society has a major influential impact on the minds and beliefs of millions of people. Whether through the news, television shows, or film, the media acts as a huge database for knowledge and instruction. It is both an auditory and visual database that can press images and ideas into people's minds. Even if the individual has no prior exposure or knowledge to something, the media can project into people's minds and leave a lasting impression. Though obviously people are aware of what they are listening to or watching, thoughts and assumptions can drift into their minds without even realizing it. These thoughts that drift in are extremely influential. The massive impact it

A great example is the Brock Turner case. The case claims Brock, a white college student raped a girl. He was taken to court and accused guilty, but he only stayed in prison for three months. It's Brock an adult? Didn't he rape a girl? Is this a case that can be let go very easily? All these questions need to be answered. The judge, officer, and lawyer were all white. During a interview with Brock’s dad, Brock's dad advises, “He's just a kid.”

10:58pm Allan Park sees a shadowy figure. When asked to describe this figure, he says the person was about 6 feet tall and approximately 200 pounds walking across the driveway towards the house.

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.

Brock Turner was given a life where most privileges were given easy to him, unlike the black, low classed teenagers. The Washington Post previously published, “Instead, Turner received only six months in jail and three years of probation after a judge worried that a stiffer sentence would have a “severe impact” on the 20-year-old” (Miller 1). This statement is crucial to note because these consequences are not how anyone would imagine a young man receiving after sexually assaulting a young woman. His sentencing was minor; he was put in jail for six months and on a three-year probation. This case did not bring justice to the girl, instead the case brought justice to white supremacy. #puthiminjail

As a result, Brock Turner was sentenced to six months for his actions. He was also a hopeful Olympic swimmer and was banned from competing in USA Swimming competitions. Many in the country were furious that Turner was only sentenced to six months, believing that he deserved a more appropriate sentence. On the other hand, Turner’s father was upset that his son’s life was ruined by “20 minutes of action” while under the influence of alcohol. Despite the victim arguing for an appropriate legal prosecution and justice for the pain she suffered, the Supreme Court judge assigned to the case, Aaron Persky, stated, “a prison sentence would severe impact on him. I think he will not be a danger to others (Stack). Turner was even released early from

That cool, February night in Sanford, Florida Trayvon Martin never planned to die. Trayvon was 17 years old when he got shot by George Zimmerman.When trayvon got shot the man who shot him ran away so he want go to jail.So the police is looking for the man so they can put him in jail and go to court.Trayvon friend tyrek was walking with him when he got shot so he saw the man face.The police was seaching for the man and tyrek wanted to help to find trayvon killer but the police wounldn't let tyrek help with the case so they can find him easy.

Ever been blamed for homicide or been known as a bigot? Well George Zimmerman has, in the Trayvon Martin case. Many individuals do trust that George Zimmerman is a supremacist and a killer. Feelings and actualities are major factors in this case. Clearly George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin, however despite everything he has pleaded not guilty.

Media plays a huge role in today's society. Media, in its many forms, can be very persuasive and can change how people view a certain topic. The past few years, media has greatly affected how people feel about topics such as: gay rights, abortion, racism, and anything political. Depending on what site, or source you are on, media can depict the topic you research however it wants. It has been argued that there are political bias in media, which is not wrong. You can find just about anything in whichever political view you want. When talking politics, there are multiple media outlets that are party-based. Even in print, you can find just about anything in favor of what you believe if you look for it. Media does a fantastic job of manipulating people to believe certain things without the audience realizing it. The media provides constant information about politics, and in more times than not, political rather than professional. In this lesson, we learned about liberals and conservatives and how political parties can be affected through media bias and public opinion.

The media controls the way the public views a controversial event. It can create the illusion that everything is perfect by leaving out important information, or can reveal the deplorable truth as the media did during the Civil Rights Movement. It was not always that way though, during the Colonial Era the media glossed over the brutality African Americans

If there is no consequence to an action, then it can be seen as acceptable. When the Canterbury Bulldogs had six players accused of assaulting a twenty-year-old in a hotel pool, the story had to make the news (English, 2004). Despite the entire country seeing the victim’s story, the players got off without charge (English, 2004). Instances like this show that even under immense public scrutiny, rape in Australia can destroy the victim’s life but not affect the perpetrator. Both Australian athletes and the public see alleged rapists get off the

Nate Parker may have had some form of privilege from being an athlete and also a recognizable figure in America. But that should not dismiss that the woman was assaulted when she was unconscious, as well as victim blamed due to the rape culture that we have now. I also agree that our universities do not bring attention to the issues to sexual assault cases just as much as our society does not put the equal emphasis of interracial assaults and same-race assaults.

Media plays an enormous role on people’s lives. For the good or for the bad, people tend to believe what they constantly see on the internet, television, newspapers and magazines. What the media wants to do is to make an affect on someone. It can literally be anything. As long as something that is said in the media creates or makes an impact on that particular person, the media has done
