Blog #9

There are many ideas regarding my topic of sexual assault by athletes. Many people believe that athletes cause a majority of sexual assault and but there are many people who think that athletes are not the main cause of sexual assault. Also they believe that entitlement is not the main cause of sexual assault and it is just a random occurring. There are many ideas that sexual assault is caused by random people in an alley in the dark, but that is not the case.

My counter argument to sexual assault not being caused by entitlement is but the main cause of sexual assault is alcohol. Alcohol is a main cause of sexual assault because either the perpetrator is drunk or the victim is drunk or both. This idea is similar to entitlement because when the perpetrator is drunk it makes them think they can take things. Entitlement and alcohol is related because alcohol impairs people's judgement, so a perpetrator might misinterpret the reading or the answer of the victim to mean something else.  This new outlook not only shows a different cause for sexual assault but how this cause can relate to entitlement. My new source about sexual assault and alcohol shows this information very clearly.
