“It’s crazy that trigger warnings have spread so far before a single study had come out evaluating them.”
It's because they are a phenomenon from social media that jumped to higher education
-
“College students are increasingly anxious … and widespread adoption of trigger warnings in syllabi may promote this trend, tacitly encouraging students to turn to avoidance, thereby depriving them of opportunities to learn healthier ways to manage potential distress,” they write.
it's definitely not the amount of college debt they're taking on ...
-
The Harvard study did not include any people who self-reported an experience of trauma, which cast doubt on how widely it could be applied to all college students.
ah ha!
-
The researchers found that trigger warnings actually slightly increased people’s self-reported anxiety—but only among people who believed that words can cause emotional damage.
Right, but were these participants the survivors of attempted murder, for example?

t also squashes creativity. In 1999, composer Eric Whitacre accepted a commission to turn Frost’s famous poem into a choral work, believing that it had entered the public domain (it would have, but for the 1998 law). The poem was one of thousands of works sequestered in 1998 for an additional 20 years.
which is exactly the OPPOSITE of what the intent of copyright is according to the constitution.
