McClelland is well known for being a great human rights reporter, although in 2011 she was considered untrustworthy when she wrote a personal essay about countering her PTSD with rape fantasy roleplay sex, with some journalists defending it and other journalists criticizing it. When it was revealed that McClelland had written about and revealed the identity of a Haitian rape victim against that victims' wishes on multiple occasions, some who had initially praised the essay condemned her for a breach of ethics. Anthony and Erin Rodriguez are a middle class couple living in Ohio worrying about how to make ends meet, due to a newly elected republican governor Kasich. Kasich’s plan cuts funding, and the budgets of city government and services. This could possibly hinder Anthony’s job with a budget cut of 51 percent.

Avalon was a pretty, smart and kind girl so she was a definite threat to the popular girls. The popular girls (also known as ‘The bitches’) verbally bullied Avalon on a daily basis, but it didn’t end there. One would believe that your own home is the most peaceful and safest place, right? Wrong. For Avalon, she was also strongly cyber bullied by a group of people on multiple blog pages that were initially started by an anonymous under the username Dragon Girl.
The passage “She joined the CWA, mixed with Corrigan’s leading ladies, helped cater for events and joined all the amateur pleared-skirt sporting fraternities and committees” (page 97) emphasises her desire to be a well-thought of and active member of the community. However her materialistic values are shown to be void and meaningless: “... she dragged that empty suitcase to her vanity table. She stole it from me, but she had nothing precious of her own to pack in it. She just shoved in her clothes, her jewellery, her perfumes” (page 281) shows her to be a vain, desperate creature who strives to give her life some purpose but is looking in all the wrong places. The passage “She joined the CWA, mixed with Corrigan’s leading ladies, helped cater for events and joined all the amateur
“How she survived I’ll never know. They beat her like she was a slave. Like she was a dog.” (Diaz 147) Beli’s beating represents the first out of many violent instances trying to chase love. Stemming from her love and involvement with the Gangster, violence almost takes away Beli’s
Her writing styles sometimes conflicted with her previous words, even in the same passage. "I'm not anti-gun...ban the damn things, ban them all". [citation needed] When outraged by instances of what she considered malfeasance or stupidity on the part of public officials, she couched her argument in an air of stunned amusement. She enjoyed telling stories about the Texas Legislature, which she simply called "The Lege", calling it one of the most corrupt, incompetent, and funniest governing bodies in the nation—a well she dipped from on a regular basis. For example: Practice, practice, practice, that's what Texas provides when it comes to sleaze and stink.
The article “Raunch Culture” by Ariel Levy discusses how life in the twenty first century has become very raunchy and erotic. She talks about how easy it is to blame the males of our culture for objectifying women. However, it is the women who are volunteering to have these pornographic or racy photographs and videos taken of themselves. Even women athletes are posing for scantily clad pictures, and they are getting more attention for that than their specialized sporting events. This article discusses that women taking control of their sexuality and objectifying themselves are not, in fact, the same thing.
Title IX Title IX brought the discrimination among gender in physical and general education to a halt, or at least has been attempting to do so for quite some time now. It has been enforced since June 23, 1972, yet many women’s collegiate programs are struggling to receive the benefits that they should be guaranteed. Several protests and outreaches have come up that touch on each opportunity that female athletes should be allowed. Some groups took a larger, more radical approach such as the 1976 Yale Women’s Crew team who held their own protest involving nudity. There are also those that work behind the scenes in fighting for equal rights in a less noted way such as University Oregon coach Jody Runge.

Lombardi and reporter Kristin Jones spent a year surveying schools’ and students’ on campus rape cases. Their conclusion from the survey was that campus sexual assault remains a hidden crime, in part, because there is no central clearinghouse for colleges to report cases and to record their dispositions. Ombardi claims more legislation is needed and that current ones need to be amended. Kristen Lombardi is a staff writer and an award-winning journalist from the Center for Public Integrity. Her investigation into campus rape cases for the Center won the Robert F. Kennedy Award and the Dart Award in 2011, which state her survey a recent source and very valuable.
