prompt 2

There has been an increasingly problem with people uncomfortable with their surroundings. On college campuses across the nation students feel unsafe. Sexual assaults have always been frequent and the situation may be easy to solve but students still feel it can never happen to themselves. I personally believe that we need to take action. Students need to be taught on how to handle just walking home by themselves to their dorm. The truth is we never know what people are capable of. An article in the Central Florida Future told of a sophomore male being sexually/physically assaulted twice in one week. Both genders are in danger not just women. Our goal should be that college students need to know how to act if ever in the situation. The first part is never been in a situation that came become dangerous. For example it is always good to travel in large groups and to know the people you are associated with around you. Alcohol is prevalent in college and is mostly factor that gets people in trouble. If students do became in a dangerous situation they should have the resources to protect their lives. UCF across campus has towers to call security for help. But that is not enough. How many people do you believe can pepper spray as a safe weapon? In my opinion not nearly enough. Even in that case what if there is more than more person trying to get you. This is a major problem and a large action needs to come into play.
