IB 6


I am going to continue to talk about the seriousness of date rape.  It has been my topic since the first paper and I think I can talk a lot about it and I have some very good ideas on how to make it more aware and a bigger concern in our community.   I think that if we took it to the news stand and to magazines about how drinking alcohol has such a big effect on the amount of date rapes that have been happening it would decrease the amount of them happening.  I think my proposal argument should be on the seriousness of alcohol contributing to the amount of date rapes that are happening.  I would like my audience to be the owners of alcohol companies and every on whom helps distribute it.  I spoke with my teacher in the beginning of the year and she said that I should try and focus more on the laws and the understanding of what date rape really is.  A lot of people today don’t understand that there is a difference between date rape and actually rape.  I think we have started to give students and people flyers so they could learn about what date rape was or even had some sort of program that kids could go to learn about it that would help.  I think I may make flies and hand them out that discuss what date rape is and how to go about actually following through with pressing charges on someone so more people no that it is not a joke or should not be taken lightly.

  1. Chelsea you have some really good ideas! I agree with you that the best way to prevent date rape is to make it more known to people, especially on a college campus. I think that flyers are a great idea and can be really useful. I also think that if you could somehow talk to the makers of the asu blackboard to post like a link or letter to every student warning them about date rape. Good job!
