Essay / What is self-governance? - 1089
She uses a quote from President Obama that young women are more likely to be sexually assaulted on campus than in the outside world (Tolman). There is obviously a problem that needs to be addressed not only on college campuses, but also with America. The estimated percentage of female college students who experience rape or attempted rape is approximately 23% over the course of an academic career. The Attorney General's Office has always led the nation when it comes to creating laws and regulations that protect the innocent. This could be gun laws, LGBT rights, or consumer protection. To help combat the tragedy of sexual assault, Tolman gives us some common-sense advice, like getting everyone on the same page when it comes to reporting and defining sexual assault . We should also have an annual summit where colleges can teach students what to do when they find themselves in an uncomfortable situation. As a country, we should learn to take it upon ourselves to help the women of our country feel safe and protected. We must take these issues into our own hands and resolve them. The solutions are not difficult, but they require a pure sense of kindness from people in local communities and everywhere else in the United States. Since a woman is a potential candidate for this future presidency, this article is extremely relevant to women's rights and really shows how bad sexual assault has been in recent times. This article incorporates statistics and solutions to the problems presented. It also includes relevant questions that would help promote good class discussion, which is another reason why it should be added to the next edition of the self-assessment.
