Rape Culture

The rape culture in today’s society seems as if it has become the normal. Everywhere we look we see, and are being told that if we want something to go get it. When we listen to music and analyze the lyrics they are all about women and taking what you want. We see on TV how women are dressed, how they act, and how they are used as sex symbols. It almost doesn’t matter what you are watching on TV, reading in the news, or listing to on the radio, the image of sex is portrayed as if it is ok. When teens see that sex is ok and then on top of that they are told if they want something then they should go get it this causes more rapes to happen.

Who is to blame for the rape culture to be on the rise? I believe the media is to blame for all of this. The media can have the largest influence on the American people. When the media is full of all of the rape culture it fills the people with the idea that rape is ok. With the number of rapes rapidly increasing there is no other reason that it could happen. It is already proven that if people see their favorite actor or singer doing something they will follow in their footsteps. This is the case with the rape culture. People are seeing famous people doing all of these things so they are following then and there ideas.
