Read this article: An unbelievable story of Rape Links to an external site.
https://www.propublica.org/article/false-rape-accusations-an-unbelievable-story,
then choose ALL the correct answers, and very briefly explain EACH WRONG option WHY it is wrong (just one or two sentences should be enough):
Marie’s foster mother Peggy didn’t believe her; her foster mother Shannon believed her
Marie falsely cried rape because she needed people to understand her struggle
In the end, Jeffrey Mason apologized to Marie; Jerry Rittgarn declined to be interviewed
When Marie said she would like to take a lie detector test, Rittgarn said that if she took it and failed, she would be sent to jail
The evidence proving that Marie was raped was weak, but Lynnwood police still compensated her anyway to avoid trouble
Marie was raped but was forced to apologize to everyone, was called a liar, and was charged with a gross misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail.
O’Leary described his finding a target as “hunting”
O’Leary found targets who wore revealing clothes or were drunk at parties; those who “didn’t respect themselves”
Then write a 600-word reflection answering the following question:
How might the rape culture

Links to an external site. (see the link for the definition/examples) contribute to a case like Marie’s story? You can start with what rape culture is and its influences. Make sure you cite at least three articles from peer-reviewed journal(s) to support your view; the more effort you put into the article review, the better chance you’ll receive a higher grade.
One way to get a higher grade is to explain how a study you cite actually conducted the research and the specific findings (note: if an article has more than one small study, just choose one). Just carefully reviewing one study will not only get you a better chance of a good grade, but also help you to understand psychological science better. A suggestion: Use Scholar Google or go to PsycInfo and search “Rape myth and sexism,” you should find some useful journal articles.
Note 1:
For the reflection, do not recount the story. I know the story already.
Again, if you think an option is correct, all you need to do is identify it, no need to explain why (you can though). Only explain the ones you think are incorrect, and give the correct account briefly.
If you totally misunderstood the outcome of this case, which suggests that you did not bother to read the whole article carefully, you will get a ZERO for this assignment—I will NOT give you any “mercy” score for your writing, even if you write 10,000 words or more.
Plagiarism will be punished seriously. If your Turnitin or AI check is more than 2%, consider revising and resubmitting. I don’t keep track of how many times you submit the assignment, I only grade the last one before the due time.
Note 2 (for citations and references);
1. Use the correct APA style for citations and references. Also, every study you cite must be in the References, and every study in the References must be cited.
2. Your citation must correctly reflect the content. In other words, if you state: “Chu (2019) pointed out that sugar is bad,” but when I check out the article, it turns out Chu’s study doesn’t say that or is not about sugar, then you’ll get a very low grade, or zero, for the whole assignment. You don’t have to read every study completely, just make sure you check out the abstract and know what it is about.
3. The references: if any one of the references is fake, that it actually does not exist, you get a zero for this assignment, period.
4. One valid reference short of the required number of references, in general, will cost at least 10 points for the assignment.
