Similar to that, when stress piles up, one problem can be the building block in a series of stressful situations. “Stress negatively affects social relation- ships, hinders daily functions, affects school and can even delay graduation,” Louie said. Eric Yang, a freshman math major, said he attended the event on behalf of his friends to learn how to manage stress and time. “It was definitely helpful, I learned a cou- ple of new strategies that I’d never thought of using. Deep breathing is important, it’s a way to cope with stress and I think I would like to try that,” Yang said. Sleep energizes the muscles and a lack of sleep can affect memory. In addition, Louie said that beds should only be used for sleep and sex, artificial phone or laptop light can hinder sleep and smoking or drinking alcohol should not be done within two hours of bedtime. “Some people think that alcohol makes you more relaxed and helps you sleep better but it actually prevents you from reaching the restorative stages of sleep,” Louie said. The book “Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity” by David Allen was recommended to the audience by Lou- ie on how to best manage time. The presentation encouraged strategies like writing out weekly and monthly goals in a planner to keep track and prioritize daily events.

Walk: LA marches against victim blaming CONTINUED FROM 1 “Even though this is taking place, and our government is kind of turning their backs on us, we can still come together and show our strength as women and do something together to show that we’re not weak and this isn’t going to change or stop us from speaking out,” Carrillo said. Kavanaugh received the confirmation vote after facing sexual misconduct accusations before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Rose announced the confirmation of Kavanaugh as a part of her speech to the marchers. “My team said we should have a moment of silence, and I say (no). This is a day to celebrate women,” Rose said. “Instead of sitting here in silence, we’re going to celebrate these women that came forward.” Rose said the women are heroes and noted the women that came out against Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein. According to its website, the Amber Rose SlutWalk is a march and festival that “plays a monumental role in the movement towards gender equality.” The initial movement started before Rose’s event and was the response to a 2011 incident where a Toronto police officer told a crowd of college women that if they want- DIANE ORTIZ / DAILY TITAN DIANE ORTIZ / DAILY TITAN ed to avoid sexual assault, they “shouldn’t Rules were set to ensure a positive environment. Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court while the protest took place. dress like sluts,” according to the SlutWalk’s website. After the incident, organizers campaigned and created marches against the Toronto police officer and other individuals who shared what the organizers considered to be a victim-blaming mentality. They showed up in more than 200 cities across the world (including 70 in the United States), according to the Journal of Feminist Scholarship. Rose said in an interview with Bustle she started her own event four years ago to continue the movement. “I usually cry a lot at SlutWalk because I see a lot of survivors out there and thank you for speaking up. Thank you for helping other women speak up against the sexual pred- ators that are out there,” Rose said in her speech. SlutWalk participant Eden Bethune said that although marching is important, voting and donating to campaigns are ultimately what makes a difference, and that the confirmation came as a result of women not being represented equally in government. “This Brett Kavanaugh (vote) has me so upset because he will be a Supreme Court justice for the rest of my life. It really upsets me,” Bethune said, holding back tears. “My daughters are 25 years old.

SOMMER CLARK Staff Writer

Many students have been working toward their degrees and ca- reers for almost half their lives. But imagine spending countless hours studying and training for a career only to be replaced by a machine. A world without work may seem appealing, but it threatens workers’ livelihoods and their sense of purpose. The idea that mankind can be replaced by technology is not new. In the 20th century, there was a point when it was widely agreed that automation would lead to a lesser requirement of work, said Dustin Abnet, assistant professor of American studies. Automation and artificial intelligence threaten to replace large sec- tions of the workforce.
