ASA 2 Week 5 Blog
The article
contains many accounts describing different murders. Although they are
different scenarios, a common theme they share is that they are war veterans.
Many veterans suffer of post-traumatic stress disorder and not only does it
affect themselves, but others around them. For example, the story with Ramirez
describes that his cousin Miguel was a war veteran and used to show him obscene
pictures of women when Ramirez was only a child and he was also a very violent
person. Through Miguel’s influence, Ramirez became the person he was as an adult. I believe that this is a serious
issue and more people need to take mental illnesses seriously. Many of these
war veterans served in the Vietnam war and took advantage of the Asian American
women they met while serving. Violence, specifically against Asian American
women, has been going on for quite a while and still occurs today in other
forms.
What are steps we can take to prevent acts of violence specifically
against Asian American women?
