It is scary to know that other countries handle assault differently and uses excuses for incidents like this.

This controdicts the authors claim because even though a trending hashtag is going around about stopping hateful crimes such as assault, it is crucial to understand that the whole population does not have social media to be in the loop with this online movement.

This is something to further be investigated because most people, including myself, are not educated enough in the court system and what the legal consequences would be for either parties. One would think that if someone were to do something wrong like this, they would get the punishment that they deserve, but that is not always the case.

It is important that "they" are aware of the consequences on both ends of the victim and the assaulter, and how to prevent an assault by attending the free self-defense classes for women.

Although devastating, personalizing the article by including people who has first hand been assaulted helps the audience better understand the importance and urgent need to talk about this issue.

The new hashtag gains credibility to the topic as a whole, as well as the victims because it leads a virtual world who stands by other people who has also been assaulted themselves. It leaves them not feeling as alone.

It is hard to define "revealing clothing" or "inappropriate behavior" into one definition, because from the assaulter's standpoint, it could be more than one thing that triggered them to do what they decided to do. This is something for the audience to later explore with outside research to determine what triggers them to assault someone sexually without consent.

The claim in the article is that women initiate or provoke the sexual assault by the way they dress.

This is the claim in Kraft's article about sexual assault. He establishes his ethos by showing how this program was instituted into over 100 high schools in the state of Massachusetts.

This is critical for kids to undergo before their first potential attack or threat to domestic violence.

I agree with this point that because smoking was known to be a common behavior for many teens and kids growing up and through our education and federal laws, the perception of smoking has shifted through out the years. With the help of the Patriots participating in prevention programs and donating $1.5 million to the cause, the topic will be grater known, and hopefully can shift the commonality of sexual assault and bring it to an end.

Very important and I agree with this statement that its important to detect signs of violence or bullying to prevent further sexual assault.

Investing any time and money into this topic helps get the word out there more and educate our society, all beneficial things to cutting down the statistics of sexual assault.

Good evidence to back up his claim. Using statistics puts the problem that is prevalent into perspective for the reader. I have heard common statistics universally around searching different articles about this topic, as well as posters in the bathrooms of my college, as well as different surveys, or casual conversations among peers or family members. It is important that this topic does not slip into thin air!

It is hard to know how to prevent these things that are so common in our society today. The first step, as stated in his claim, is to educate students, teens, adults, athletes, and anyone else you can name about sexual assault.

Here's what "they" are talking about what the issue is. Kraft, the writer, is ensuring that his players support the awareness of sexual assault by attending the annual event hosted in Massachusetts to represent his team as being aware of it by supporting the movement.

I myself, have grown up in an insulated world. I was very blessed to attend a high school with very little crime, but living in a college down, where University of Colorado Boulder was the major university, it was always known that sexual assault was prevalent, even though I never experienced it.

I agree with this claim. The first step to preventing violent crimes such as sexual assault by acknowledging it and educating the students about it before it can become an issue for themselves.

Koenig is strategic about the way she points evidence at the things that are important, while still trying to be as unbiased as she can, because that is the rightful thing to do in any court case. The way she presents her research could be seen as not biased because she does pull other evidence into the overall story, not just evidence on Adnan, but sometimes the evidence shown isn't always thoroughly investigated all the way through. If there were 13 other fingerprints, they should have investigated those potential suspects, but rather, they pointed all the blame on adnan because he was already the number one suspect.

This article supports my claim because it proves the relaliabilty of a fingerprint and the procedures needed to obtain a fingerprint test.

Sarah Koenig seems to be hinting at leaning more towards the evidence of Adnan being guilty, rather than investigating and proving his innocense. She makes comments that make her audience feel a certain way about something that happened, to then make them believe what she is also hearing as well. This quote is a good example because Will's statement supports the side of the case of Adnan having the time to possibly kill Hae, without stating anything about the actual case itself. The time Adnan had before practice, and I think this is what Koenig is hinting at as well, is just about the perfect timing because he would only have to come up with an alibi for what he was doing in between school and practice, and strategically come up with a lie. Koenig's blunt statement, "because there was so much time," influences the audience to believe that Adnan had the time to kill Hae during that period. The evidence collected leans more towards that side as well, which is why I think Koenig is being biased in this episode of serial.

The evidence Sarah shares with us about Mr. S adds to the puzzling thoughts that circle through the listeners heard as they hear all the different suspects. It is interesting to me that the new suspect introduced in serial episode number 3, Mr. S, had been interviewed nine days after he was reported seeing the body. The investigators focuses on Mr. S's story of him going 127 feet into the woods to pee and he said he wanted to find a flat area of land to pee until he stumbled upon a body part that looked like a foot, which ended up being Hae's body. From what the investigators have concluded, Hae's body wouldn't have been noticeable from anywhere in plain cite. After listening to why the detectives concluded Mr. S to no longer be a suspect, it is fishy to me that he coinicidentally saw the body and I am confused why the body was so close to the road. It is clear that Mr. S did not commit this murder, but what knowledge does he have that we don't?

Here is a link to that shows a picture of how big this body of land is and how many people have been revealed dead from this area as well. Not even including those who went missing who were never found, or those who could potentially be lost in these woods without being known or found. I have no source of when this photograph was created and I can only imagine there has been more murders in this park since then.
