...The Hunting Ground is a documentary that shows how two University of North Carolina rape victims, Annie Clark and Andrea Pino, join forces to seek proper justice for the treatment and neglect of rape cases on college campuses nationwide in the United States of America. Clark and Pino, instead of giving up on their rape cases that were handled improperly by the executive board of UNC continued to fight the way colleges dealt with rape victims and rape suspects by becoming advocates and educating themselves and others of their institutional rights. The Hunting Grounds tracks the start of Clark and Pino’s on-going journey to make college students aware of the issues of institutions protecting the name and reputation of the institution rather than...

...In the movie “The Hunting Ground,” by filmmakers Kerby Dick and Amy Ziering, they describe that many colleges and universities do not handle sexual assault reports seriously and they do their best to suppress the reports and silence their students. Dick and Ziering use pathos, ethos, and logos to communicate their message to the audience. One way Kerby Dick and Amy Ziering communicate their message is through pathos. In the film, “The Hunting Ground,” the narrator states that one of the victims “was lectured and blamed,” for being raped on campus grounds. This illustrates how this incident was totally unjustified, because they made her feel like she was to blame. Incidents like this makes people frustrated, because the victim’s voice is...

Some forms of sexual assault include: Penetration of victim’s body (rape), attempted rape, forcing to perform sexual acts (oral sex), fondling or unwanted sexual touching” (RAINN, 2016). Sexual assault perpetrators thrive in environments where victims...

...In 2014 from a crime data reported by colleges, states that 91 percent, of 11,000 students, that there was no reports of rape, which is statistically improbable (“Biden to speak”). There are also reasons for the victims to not report the crime such as: unsure if the assault is serious enough, or if anyone would believe them, or fearful of punishment due to drinking, or it would be too emotionally difficult for them to report the crime (Natasha Singer). Victims of sexaul assault are in a state of confusion and denial. If and when a sexaul assault case happens on campus, the campus administrators are involved in the whole process (The Hunting Ground). Why would colleges and universities lie or cover-up sexaul assault cases and stistics? According...

Thus, colleges and universities should be imploring the reasoning behind this lack of reporting by students.

...We’ve all heard the statistics. 11.2% of all college students experience it. For undergrads, 23% of females and 5% of males experience it. College women between the ages of 18 and 24 are three times more likely to experience it than the average woman, and of these female student victims, only 1 in 5 report it (RAINN). Campus sexual assault is, thanks to the media, something we have all become painfully and unfortunately more familiar with than we would like to be. We hear the more publicized cases, where girls are unwillingly stripped of their clothes and left crying in fetal position in the top floor bedroom of a frat house The perpetrator was a straight-A student, a seemingly nice, upper-class boy who got a scholarship to the university, who was planning on pledging a fraternity, who could never do something like this.

Both women are alumnae of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the co-founders of End Rape on Campus. Clark and Pino had a similar experiences. After their assaults, they did not know what to do so they kept to themselves for a while and had a difficult time focusing on their schoolwork.

...Hooking Up: The College Experience The situation is one played out in soap operas, many a movie, and every weekend on college campuses across the nation. Boy meets girl, boy and girl get drunk, and boy and girl wake up together the next morning. It’s the sensation that’s gripping the nation, hooking up. By the time of their graduation the average college student has had around seven of these encounters, twenty-eight percent of graduates have had more than ten while twenty-four percent of graduates never have participated in the culture (James, 2009). Hooking up has been viewed as degrading, liberating, dangerous, and as no different than prostitution. However, the opinion that seems to be most prevalent is that the hook up culture is fun and harmless. In order to fully understand the hook up culture we must examine how this culture is affecting its participant’s sexuality and their future relationships. In order to answer this question we need to first understand what the controversies surrounding the hook up culture are; why the hook up culture has become so prevalent in today’s society; how the hook up culture has possibly desensitized us to sexual assaults; finally and probably most important we need to understand what the impacts upon the future relationships and sexuality of those who engage in the hooking up culture are. The hook up culture that exists in today’s society, specifically in college, is a very hotly debated topic among college students, professors, the...

...The Hunger Games: Action-film feminism is catching fire Lisa Schwarzbaum Burning up Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen is both strong and vulnerable – a new kind of action heroine who has powered The Hunger Games: Catching fire to a $158m US debut. (Lionsgate) Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen is a new type of female action film icon, and moviegoers should be very excited about that, writes Lisa Schwarzbaum. As Catching Fire ignites on movie screens around the world, this is what we know about the 21st Century heroine called Katniss Everdeen: she is strong but also soft. She is brave but she has doubts. She is a phenomenal fictional creation, yet is real enough that moviegoers can draw inspiration from her values, her resourcefulness, and her very human inner conflicts. And she is played by Jennifer Lawrence, who appears not only to be handling her current duties as Hollywood’s finest model of well-adjusted millennial female stardom but doing so with charm. Everdeen and Lawrence: golden girls both. Personified in Lawrence’s lithe movements and cool, focused gaze, Katniss is a brave, resourceful and independent-minded fighter; but she is also a troubled and vulnerably guilt-ridden human being. Nina Jacobson, the producer of the Hunger Games film franchise, puts it this way: “She is a singular heroine in that the burden of survival weighs on her. She has a ton of survivor’s guilt. And she keeps surviving.” Girl on fire It is strange that behaving like a well-adjusted...
