As you study sexual violence in this course, you will consider the cognitive and psychological effects that sexual assault and rape can have on individuals. You will also learn about the various treatment approaches used with survivors. To further examine other key issues associated with sexual violence, you will begin by watching the documentary, The Hunting Ground. Then review the assigned course readings and resources found in Module 4 (particularly focusing on Chapter 9 in your textbook and the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network website). Next, you will evaluate the issues highlighted in the documentary using the concepts and ideas in the text. As you reflect on sexual violence and rape myths, you will want to discuss and analyze how advocacy efforts and the roles played by universities and other groups can aid in challenging people’s perceptions of sexual violence. In your initial discussion post, you will address the following questions: How are the issues discussed in the documentary connected to this course? Provide examples. What are some of the psychological impacts that survivors in the film experienced? What types of rape myths were highlighted in the film? How do individual advocates, universities, and other groups contribute to reinforcing or challenging perceptions and outcomes related to sexual violence? What stood out the most to you in the film and why?
