Description
Option 1:
Students will watch the documentary, “The Hunting Ground†(available on Amazon) and write a
2-4 page reflection paper (12-point, Times New Roman, double-spaced, no citations required).
Students should identify two topics depicted in the film that they find to be the most interesting
and explain why they chose these topics. Students should conclude papers by addressing
whether they believe that rape/sexual assault/inappropriate sexual behavior is a problem on
Fresno State’s campus or off-campus parties. If so, what should be done to reduce it? If not,
what is it about Fresno State that makes it stand out in comparison to other campuses (i.e., why is
our college culture different than others)?
Example topics (choose anything, just offering a few possible topics):
University actions to reduce the visibility of rape/sexual assault reports
Backlash against victims who report and advocates who try to assist (e.g., police, lawyers,
professors)
Offenders preying on vulnerable persons
Alcohol as a weapon to reduce someone’s inhibitions for sex
