Why might alcohol increase the likelihood of sexual assaults?

History
1 answer:
Mariulka [41]3 years ago
5 0

There are several reasons why alcohol increases the likelihood of sexual assaults.  The National Institute of Justice identifies the following factors, to which I'll add some of my own explanations:

  • Alcohol use can lead to increased aggressive behavior -- so a person who might otherwise act respectfully toward others can become sexually aggressive.
  • Alcohol use inhibits a person's ability to interpret another person's behavior and signals.  So a man might think a woman "wants it" when she really doesn't, and when she says no and tries to fight him off he'll think she's "playing."
  • When on a date, alcohol use makes both men and women more likely to think that sex will be a part of the date.  Though both may begin the date with that thought, it then can also happen that one person doesn't have a desire for the date to end in sex, but the other insists it will.
  • Alcohol consumption makes individuals take risks they would normally avoid.  So a woman may not safeguard herself the way she would normally because she's under the influence of alcohol, and be more in danger of becoming a victim of assault.
  • Alcohol can undermine an individual's capability to resist sexual advances or a sexual assault.  If a person is in an intoxicated state, she may become unable to fight back or remove herself from an assault situation.

kati45 [8]
Isolation--follow a long period of isolation, the Islamic Empires had not been trading or gaining new innovations during the 19th century. 

As European countries began to explore and open trade, the Muslim Empires had been at their peak and refused trading rights with them. This economic isolation led the countries to also lose out on new knowledge and innovations. The Muslim Empires found themselves behind by the 20th century and unable to protect their empires.

What were the two primary drawbacks to the American Industrial Revolution?
VMariaS [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

  • Poor working conditions
  • Pollution and Other Environmental Ills

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

Assembly line laborers regularly worked 14– 16 hours out of each day six days of the week. Men's small wages were regularly more than twice those of ladies. The wages earned by youngsters who attempted to enhance family pay were even lower. The different machines in the processing plant were frequently messy, ousting smoke and ash, and perilous, the two of which added to mishaps that brought about laborer wounds and passings.  

To fuel the production lines and to support the yield of every single sort of made great, natural assets (water, trees, soil, rocks and minerals, wild and trained creatures, and so forth.) were changed, which diminished the planet's load of profitable common capital.
