||||Trigger warnings began at the domestic level, used when parents protected their young children from material that was not age-appropriate. In a similar spirit, many university professors and instructors are already implementing trigger warnings in their course content. These professors generally care about the well-being of their students and want them to feel comfortable discussing the content of their course. Moving on to the opposing argument, many professors disagree and don't think they should incorporate these trigger warnings into their policies. A team of professors went on to argue that responsibility for their students' emotions should not be placed in their hands, but rather in the hands of the students themselves. Adding trigger warnings to universities would create a protective campus and protect students from the horrible reality that is our world.
