Short and Long Term Impacts of Victimization

-
The short term impacts on victims of crime depend on the crime some may find financial issues or have physical injury's preventing them from working. However many feel depressed, have post-traumatic stress disorder, troubles sleeping or are guilty believing that they could have prevented it from happening. 
The long term effects of being a victim of crime is a shorter list consisting of complete lifestyle changes, suicidal thoughts or actions, continued problems sleeping or extreme crime preventive measures. 
In the  Law & Order episode we watched on Friday Harper  had many of these effects after her victimization she experienced PTSD, problems sleeping, complete lifestyle change and would wear running shoes to bed to feel safer. Harper also had many locks on her door to prevent any unwanted strangers.

Is school dangerous

-
I believe that in today's society one of the most dangerous places is school because its a lot of people in one small space. Having that many people in a small area problems, arguments and fights are going to occur between the students and the staff. In school there are many different crimes that happen daily like substance abuse, theft ,bullying and assault. And others that could happen, but are very unlikely, like school shootings. Although school seems like the most dangerous place you can be, the place that tops all others is technology. Social media in particular is responsible for cyber bullying, the sharing of files, identity theft, and many more.

Media Consumption

-
There was almost a two hour difference between my guess and the actual amount of time consuming media. Although recording your usage of media for only one day isn't a very good way of tracking your daily media usage as different things affect the amount of time you spend on your phone reading/writing notes or watching videos. I was writing and more notes that day because of school and was on my phone and on Netflix more because I was just at home with my sister. I will at times put on Netflix as background noise when I'm on my phone so the house isn't quiet that increased my time by an hour. I also listen to music well doing chores or homework or when going through Instagram. I mostly am on Snapchat, Instagram and Netflix. The odd time I will go in Facebook to check my work schedule. I have one day a week where it is a no phone day it is usually a Sunday sometimes it's on a Saturday. My estimate was 10 hours. The actual amount consumed was 11hrs 54mins.
