Assignment 8

The topic is about campus violence. And the main idea is stopping violence on campus. The author talks about the worse shootings in the United States history such as the Virginia Tech incident where 32 people were killed. And the 1999 shooting at Columbine high school and 16 were killed at the University of Texas in 1966. Experts say that tighter security in the aftermath of violence isn't always effective. Three warning signs of a student's potential to become violent are being socially isolated, having low self worth, and doesn't take criticism well. The security that I noticed on the NYIT campus are many NYIT security vehicles. These measures aren't worthwhile because I don't see any security guards on campus and if something were to happen it will take a long time for security to come on campus and actually do something.
