Mary presented an examination of domestic violence incidents throughout our nation and state using statistical analysis showing the prevalence of these violent acts.  She referenced changing societal norms (gender equality and identity in the workplace); cultural awareness (the public scrutiny of victimhood among sexual harassment accusers and those accused); and political movements (association with political identities in social media and public rallies) and the causes and effects these aspects have on interpersonal and community relationships.  As a specific example of the insidious nature of mass media on the contemporary life of America's young adults, Mary played an easily accessible YouTube music video that used graphic actions and images to interpret a song from pop artist Maroon 5.
