For FYE session 2
When people come onto campus for the first time as a freshman, they are usually welcomed with open arms into this little community we have built for ourselves. But there are going to be people that use that against you and put you in a situation that you do not want to be in. Usually happening at parties, day or night, or you could just be walking home from the student center at night. Another thing is that it could be someone that you know, someone you are friends with, or even a complete stranger. UD has created an S.O line for students who don’t feel safe or have already had a problem with sexual assault. You can call or text them and they are just someone to talk to about what is happening, just happened, or happened a long time ago. Also, there is not just one form of sexual assault, which you can see from the pyramid of harm. The only thing we see as sexual is level 4, we never really dive into what a small thing that other people see as a joke could mean to the person who is on the receiving side of the joke. The first two tiers no one really talks about because it has just become a normal thing for kids to do, snapchat and other apps make it really easy for people to receive unsolicited pictures and texts. So when we either hear about someone getting them or we get them ourselves, it doesn’t phase us because we as a culture have grown to not acknowledge it. When most people thing of sexual assault they only think of the top two tiers where someone is getting threats or being stalked or someone is physically attemping/or succefully hurting them in a sexual manner.. A big place where this happens is parties where people end up drunk and have no control about what happens, so other people might think it is the perfect time to do whatever they want since the other person is not sober enough to say no. People don’t ask for consent anymore and no one is protected and no one listens to the other person. Someone assumes that if the other person says yes to one thing then they must be ok with everything else that is going to happen. But that is rarely the thing because most people say what they mean whether they are drunk or not. The typical stereotype is that only girls can and will get sexually assaulted, but that is far from true because even though people might not notice it and it might not happen that frequently. Guys can be sexually assaulted just like females, but most don’t talk about it because they are seen as weak and they should be happy for whatever women they can get whether they want it or not. UD also has alcohol amnesty, so if you need assistance from the police or the school in general you will not be charged in relation to intoxication. They feel that in doing this is might make people want to speak uo more because most sexual assault on college campuses happens when one or both parties are intoxicated. Most people don’t talk to anyone about it in the first place because they are scared that they might say something to the wrong person and they will get in trouble for under age drinking. So the university is doing this so that women or men don’t have the fear of receiving an alcohol charge to deter them from seeking help or reporting something that they saw happening on campus.

Just like it was said in the last video when new students come onto a college campus they tend to feel like they are in their own little community with the rest of the students on campus. There will be people who will feel the same way and want to help you better adjust. But there will also be people who are going to use that sense of childlike wonder for their own personal gain into your pants. These people will tend to aim more toward people who use alcohol and drugs or just don’t have that many friends, as it would be easier to get them to say yes to whatever they want. But there are usually more than just two people involved in a sexual assault, those other people or other person is a bystander. Someone who could be standing across the frat basement or on the other side of the green witnessing this potentially harmful situation and doing nothing about it. So UD is asking people to not sit back and let it happen, but instead to be an active bystander and make sure this doesn’t happen to anyone else. By noticing what is happening, recognizing that someone can get hurt, and just taking action (in a safe manner). But if you can not reach the person in time, the university does have medical amnesty for the students. If you need to seek medical help for yourself or your friend for an injury related to alcohol or drugs and you are intoxicated, you can ask for amnesty. This will make sure that the office of student conduct and the police seek no disciplinary or criminal charges against you. But the school will have to assign you to an educational intervention, just to make sure that you are ok. In the who are you video, I feel that the man got a false image of what the woman was like as a person. But then in the second half he saw her for who she truly was and this happens more than you know. When someone has a crush on another person they only see the good and none of the flaws because they want to believe the other person is perfect. But when you get into the relationship all of those things you ignored in the beginning surface and it usually doesn’t end well for the couple. When attempting to intervene into a situation that you could see getting violent or already is, you need to care. Make sure it is safe for you and the other parties to intervene, create a distraction, act directly and quickly, and also ask people to help you out because there is strength in numbers. Make sure that if you are out with your friends at a party and someone is getting a bit too close to your friend, she has already told him to back off and share your concerns. Use the care strategy, if you can’t figure it out ask for help. Also always be there for your friends when they need help.
