Difference Between Bad Dates and Sexualized Violence Sexual violence means any forced sexual act on an individual regardless of who they are. The above is a dangerous crime with negative impacts on the assaulted person. A victim can undergo both short and long term consequences emotionally or physically. Sexual violence can happen to anyone despite their age or gender. There are different forms of sexual violence. It includes rape by intimate partners, rape by strangers, sexual abuse of children, forced prostitution, forced abortions, sexualized violence, forced marriages, among others (“Sexual Violence,” n.d, Definitions section, para 2). Sexualized violence is an act or behavior, either physical or physiological, exercised sexually. It can occur in many ways, such as verbal, online, or physically.

SEVERITY OF DEATH PUNISHMENT Capital punishment or death punishment has, for decades, elicited sharp debates in many jurisdictions across the world. Death punishment is the process of executing someone after the offender has duly been tried, convicted, and sentenced. The mode of punishment has lost popularity in various countries over the last decade, with 141 countries abolishing the practice in totality. The proponents of death punishment believe that it is a way of retribution. They further argue that all crimes ought to be punished in proportion to their severity. There is also the argument that putting murders on a death punishment is likely to act as a deterrence on would-be murderers. However, despite all the arguments presented by the advocates for death punishment, the practice is archaic, less effective, and inhumane. Death punishment has failed to deter murderers. In spite of the practice been there for centuries, murders are still prevalent in all parts of the world. There is no statistical evidence to suggest that capital punishment acts as a deterrence. Deterrence, as a mode of punishment, works best when…

Initial Response: The Niceties POSITIVES (+) The first positive moment can be located in act one, where Janine is conversing with Zoe and complements Zoe of having an excellent choice of words. Janine tells her that she had never had a student use the word “bedeviled.” It is her first time to see a student use the term. This statement of appreciation is a crucial positive moment for both the reader and Zoe, who responds by accepting the gratitude. The audience listening to the play can appreciate the change in tone and attitude in the play (Burgess, 2019). The second positive moment is realized when Zoe admits to Janine that her son is in the same junior class with her and that the son is brilliant. Janine accepts Zoe’s appreciation of her smart son, and she sounds happy in the next statement that she makes. This decisive moment in the Niceties is symbolic as the scriptwriter uses the decisive moments to depict a good relationship existing between Janine and her student Zoe (Burgess, 2019).
