Sexual Behaviour

Explain how sexual behaviour could be socialized in males. Do you think that males who commit sexual assault are "hyper masculine"? Why and where do men learn "hyper masculine" behaviour?
I believe that men who commit sexual assault are hyper masculine, because they feel the need to have power
and control, they like the exciting factor that they get from danger. Hyper masculinity is the belief that violence is manly and have a callous sexual attitude. Men may do this because they are insecure and feel the need to prove something of them selves. Most men learn masculinity from their family, if they grow up in an environment mostly dominated by men then they are taught to be more "manly". Males can also learn this from friends, peers at school, and any other male figure they look up to. Hyper masculinity can also be instinctive and natural for human beings.



Story Sexual Assault: http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Crime/2011/08/15/18556361.html
In this story a 65 year old man sexually assaulted a young woman on a plane, she was an airline passenger while she slept in a blanket seated next to him. He was sentenced to a year in prison and fined $10,000. Some motives or reasons he may have committed this are evolutionary factors,male socialization,psychological abnormality, and social learning. His action could have been instinctual, or he may have jsut learned this as a child. Either way it does not give him the rigth to sexually assault anyone.

Marc Lepine.

Marc Lepine murdered 14 woman, only at the age of 25. Lepine was a troubled young man and had a traumatic childhood growing up. His father was abusive towards him and his younger sister, he also was a sexist. His father believed woman had no purpose and was incapable of doing the things men could do. Lepines parents separated when he was 7 years old, he and his sister lived with other families and saw their mother on weekends. Lepine was considered bright,but had difficluties making connections with his peers and family members. He could never connect with people or create a relationship. He complained about women working in non-traditional jobs, and after separating men and women in a classroom, he shot the women, claiming that he was fighting feminism. He then moved into other parts of the building, targeting women as he went, before killing himself. His suicide note blamed feminists for ruining his life. I think that his actions come from his home life as a child growing up, he had violence in his family and was brought up to believe that women were worthless and were below men, he had a strong hatred towards women. 

Clifford robert olson jr. and Mark lapine.

Clifford Robert Olson Jr. was a serial killer, he sexually assaulted and murdered eleven people under the ages of eighteen. Even though Olson had been accused of many other murders the only one he confessed to was Judy Kozma in 1981, and was charged with first degree murder. The police didn't have enough evidence to charge Olson with the ten other murders. Olson made a cash for bodies deal with the police hoping they would take his offer. He proposed to give eleven bodies for 100,000 dollars in exchange, the money would go to his wife and infant son. In the end, Olson pleaded guilty to the public and was locked away for the rest of his life. Olson died at the age of 71 on Friday September 30, and was apparently died of cancer. As a young child Clifford grew up as the "bad seed" he was the eldest child and lived in a small house in Vancouver. In his teenage years he started committing crimes such as robberies and theft. In 1974 he sexually attacked a 17 year old fellow inmate, after being released he then assaulted a 7 year old girl in Nova Scotia. This was only the beginning of his sexually deviant and murderous criminal activity. For Clifford Olson killing was a sport he got a thrill from torturing others. People like Clifford Olson allows us to learn things, such as how we shouldn't take life for granted and to be aware that there will always be people like Clifford Olson.

how can we soften the impact of crime victims.

In the law and order episode, Harper had changed her whole life and her appearance because she was a victim of crime. Maybe her outcome would have been different if more people had been there for her. I think she can never be the same but she can make it better, if she had continued taking counselling sessions or talking about too a friend or family member it would allow her to deal with it in a more comfortable manner. Harper turned her life upside down because she didn't get the help she needed.

The young man who was assaulted will never be the same. But there are some ways for him to live his life more easy. For him to soften the impact on himself he needs to be willing to get help from others around him. Family, friends, teachers, or counsellors can be helpful to talk to as well. Not only is it going to be difficult to cope but it will be challenging too. Opening up can be hard for some people so another way is to rite down the things you are thinking and feeling in a journal or a diary. Crime victims could experience panic attacks or be in constant fear. The main way to handle the stress is to take deep breaths,drink water, and stay as calm as you possibly can. You can never fully recover, but the healing process will take time. It's not something that can be overcome in a short period of time. 

News Story.

In this story a young man was stabbed in the face with scissors, the attack happened on school grounds at a college. The attacker may have even been attending the college. The teachers and students immediately rushed to help the injured boy and was then taken to the hospital. The impact on the young man will be unforgettable.  He will be scared to go to school and interact with others and will probably have a scar on his face from where the attacker assaulted him. Meaning ever time he looks in the mirror or sees himself in a reflection he will always be reminded of that day. He might even develop a fear of scissors, you can never fully recover after you have become a victim of crime, and the healing process will take quite some time. But not everyone is affected severely as others, some may deal with their trauma better than most. And some will have a huge struggle with finding their own way to cope.
