So, this past week i was working on homework for my sociology course. we were required to watch a video and take a short quiz. the content was about the milgram experiment and the way humans respond to direct orders from authority. anyway not really the point, at the end of the video it had a segment of a “real life” experiment. it showed footage from the early 2000’s of a fast food employee being strip searched and sexually assaulted by managers. the managers stated that a police officer called and said the girl was stealing and ordered them to do it.

now the video clip was pretty graphic, showing this young girl naked and terrified. i found it extremely disturbing.

my question is do you think this deserved a trigger warning? should the professor have explicitly stated that the content was graphic? would you contact said professor and ask them to please put disclaimers on graphic content? or is this just something you would expect from a sociology/psychology course?

thanks!
