In my opinion‚ violence as a form of protest isn’t an eective tactic. It is subjective. A riot is de$ned as a violent disturbance of the peace by a group of people. In the Kimani Gray article‚ people originally used the hash tag “#BrooklynRiots” to describe what was occurring‚ however it was later changed to “#Brooklynprotest”. Protest can be de$ned as a statement or action expressing disapproval or objection of something. The word riot has a negative connotation to it so it was altered to

Teen Violence Teen violence is a big and growing problem in our country today. Everyday we hear on the news of teenagers involved in violent crimes. Part of the reason I believe is that weapons are becoming more accessible. You can go into a ninety-nine cent store and buy a knife without any questions.

It’s the same reflection he always sees‚ but this time‚ someone different appears

Gender and Violence The young woman from the military article was very courageous for coming out and telling her personal story about the rape she endured while serving in the military. I feel the word and the action of “rape” has been seen as sort of a taboo for many generations throughout the army.

Violence and Sex in the Media and It’s Effects Question 1: What does sex in the media really do? Is it just a selling tool or does it affect us in a greater way?
