The Hunting Ground




I provided the trailer to "The Hunting Ground" by director Kirby Dick and producer Amy Ziering. This film is incredibly interesting to watch yet very tragic. I almost felt embarrassed for all the victims and the universities because I would not want to be apart of a school that did not want to represent me on their behalf. The documentary is raw and depressing but reveals the truths that everyone is entitled to know. On a previous post I stated that this film was released in 2015 and here we are in 2018 and the issue of sexual harassment is as big as ever! Talking about rape and harassment is like walking on eggshells, everyone has to be extremely careful of what they say, especially those expose to the media today. I think it is extremely powering that victims and supporters are coming together to have a voice for all those that still struggle to get out of their situations. I know there are those who are tired of hearing about the scandals but shouldn't it be common sense to the perpetrators that what they are doing is plain wrong? This shouldn't be an issue in 2018. This has been an ongoing issue since the beginning of time and it is just plain heart breaking that it still happens along with every other corrupt issue in our world. I strongly encourage you to watch this film to be informed about the hardships that victims go through just to inform others what is right and what is wrong, things we should all already know.
Personally if I enjoy any writing project, it would have to be strictly summary and narratives. I seen previous documentaries and films from the Sundance Festival and Dr. Kyburz is right about the films just dragging you in. I love movies, especially documentaries because I get so involve in them and there's always twists that leave you on the edge of the seat wondering what will happen next. I picture writing a summary on a documentary as a review or rating for the next group. It shouldn't be hard but rather spill all that you can to get the audience to commit to the movie but don't reveal too much so that there's still surprises left to be uncovered. Goodluck to all!

Final Reflective Post

Dear Past Self,  I want you to know how far you have come since the beginning of freshman year, and even last semester, as a writer, presenter, and person. From freshman year, you were terrified of showing your work and letting teachers use your written work as examples to the class. You were shy and embarrassed of your writing, for what? I have no idea even now. However, you are not that same person anymore. You enjoy writing and sharing with others the pride you have for your work. You most defiantly strive and earn your grades.  I admire the picture above for numerous of reasons. When I saw it; I right away thought of myself. I know past self never valued the writer in her openly, but secretly she always did. This semester you have learned so much within yourself. I can honestly describe my growth as a writer as a; caterpillar throughout its stages into transitioning into a butterfly. To succeed in this class, revising, being prepared, training, communication, time ma...

Projects overview

Lately we been spending time with the textbook and getting into groups to write up proper written reports for our mock trials, our past project of different reports for Law Enforcement, and now we have started a new project of using non-fiction clips of lawn enforcement incidents, and basing a whole report as we were the officers on duty. We have to write a report on any of the 4 types of written reports offered and basically tell the story to the "public". With that we have include all information but try to be as concise as we can. Concise and gets to the point. I like how we have to use our imagination and practice typing these types of reports so that we can avoid grammar errors and avoid huge conflicts/s scandals in the future. I really like how again we're not individually writing a report or writing a 5-7 page paper on a incident. I think it's more efficient to work together and write the report together so that we can teach each other and learn from one anothe...

End of the Semester

The end of the semester is literally right around the corner! For our final project in class we are conducting another police report on a different set of videos. I also like these projects compared to writing an entire 5-7 page paper layout. These writing projects will actually give practice for the future, because reports are a huge part of the criminal justice system. There are many types of reports, they're are type 1, type 2, type 3, and type 4. Type 1 is the most basic and type 4 reports are the most complex. With that they're a bunch of different incidents that could result in writing a report. One incident could have multiple reports to it. From doing these projects I have been learning the difference of these reports though they might seem similar. Type 1 reports solely records facts. It is not an arrest, it's all facts from witnesses, victims, and suspects. This would include incidents of a missing person and non-violent incidents. Type 2 is the exact same as type...
