Victimisation

There are three things that I learned from the presentation last Thursday a) victim blaming, b) setting boundaries, and c) having consent before doing anything. Although these lessons came from the Title IX presentation, I could use them personally as guidelines on how I can be successful in life. According to the presentation, when one person is sexually assaulted it is never that person’s fault. Whatever the person is wearing, gender, past or present lifestyle, and type should not be the reason

As humans, we feel the need to believe in something greater than what’s in our control. Believing in a just world gives people a sense of understanding and security. Research will show that people have a tendency of believing in something that seems justified and fair. Belief in a just world describes a world that’s fair where people who do bad get what they deserve, while the people who do good will receive goodness in return. For example, victims of rape are often blamed because of the way they

The Victim A Victim is described as a person who is killed, harmed or injured due to a crime, accident, or some other action or event. A victim is also described as someone who has been tricked or duped. These definitions perfectly describe a victim of rape. A victim is not only harmed from a rape crime, but is also tricked into thinking that justice will occur. This is not the case. Fifty percent of people feel as if rape is the victims fault and never the rapist fault. Why is society so willing

When we hear about domestic violence, we always assumed that it’s about women. Women are not always the victims, also men, children, elderly or mentally/physically disabled people as well. Victimology is a topic that has been intriguing to me for a while. It certainly has come a long way since 1947 when Benjamin Mendelsohn coined the term. According to all the history that has been provided since that time many improvements have taken place. Such as the accessibility to information regarding the

Near the end of the novella, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, the fates of multiple townspeople are revealed. The majority of these fates are tragic, filled with misfortune and bad luck. These townspeople were the ones least involved on the day of Santiago’s murder, yet still felt the injurious impact of the crime. Over the course of the novel, there is ample evidence that proves that there are far more victims in the midst of the chaos surrounding Santiago Nasar’s murder, besides just Bayardo San

Gordon 4 The bullying, in the Foucauldian field of power occupies a social node channeling, linking, and articulating the operation of that form of power. That is, the bully represents themselves as the embodiment of which bares the responsibility to reinforce dominance. This action in itself is achieved through the disembodiment of the targeted aspects (as object,) from victim’s oriented positioning (as subject). As the bully exercises themselves in a privileged position as a means of empowering

Mistreatment and intimidation are common occurrences within childhood and adolescent peer groups. These actions can be detrimental to the social relationships of those involved, leaving an enduring impact on one’s ability to socialize and interact with those around them. Due to the severity of the potential harm bullying can cause, much research has been conducted on how bullying can influence the lives and actions of those associated with it. In order to better address the issue of bullying, one

The video “To This Day” by Shane Koyczan based on the poem of which shares the same name, reveals the permanence of the emotional damage bullying causes to the victim. In addition, two interviews with this poet reveal his personal experiences with bullying. To begin with, Koyczan has had a lot of experience of bullying, and the poem shows that a small accident can lead to something that could be life changing. Koyczan reveals in his poem/video that he had fallen out of a tree at home, giving him

Urban Public Education is a concept and movement within public schools all over the nation. With these urban public schools there are many trials and hardships which those institutions have to work through. Ranging from poverty, funding and the never ending cycle of bullying. Bullying is a form of making another feel lesser for their race, background or sometimes just personality. Throughout time bullying has been seen as a rite of passage for children in these schools. The myth I would like to bust
