INFORMAL WRITING #7: Read the attached articles (Please consider following the links embedded within each article as these subsequent articles will only serve to heighten your understanding of this complicated issue). Then, in a structured argument, answer all or some of the following questions:
Do you agree or disagree with the rules of sexual conduct, as outlined in Salon through California State legislation, and further expounded in the editorial about Philly colleges in Philadelphia Magazine article, that are being changed by college campuses?
Do you think such changes to interpretations of law will help curb sexual crime? Are students, especially women, in need of such slanted laws in order to protect them? Is this interpretation biased, unfair and legally dangerous for men?
What role(s) do(es) drinking play in this? Are campuses ignoring the root of the problem in terms of addressing drinking/parties? How does this relate to the points raised by the blogger from The Nation? Please feel free to provide some personal evidence using Stockton as your basis.
Synthesis on these articles should culminate in a specific claim about sex, law, rape, gender and college campuses. In other words, you should take a side(s) on one of the concepts discussed and turn it into a thesis.
Please provide exemplary moments from both works. Your paper should have a works cited page that incorporates at least two of the articles. At least one of the articles must be directly quoted. Also, feel free to integrate evidence from ANOTHER SOURCE not mentioned here to provide insight on your argument.
