Summary: In the article, it illustrates Lewinsky's campaign against bullying as well as her efforts to fight back against a nationwide problem.



Deviant Phrase: Lewinsky uses the phrase "habit of action," to describe the little changes that can take place to prevent bullying. Lewinsky states that simple acts of kindness, courage, and inclusion can shift the mindset of a culture.


Deviant Phrase: The phrase "public eye," illustrates Lewinsky's attempt to remain out of the public following her affair with President Bill Clinton. Lewinsky has not let the past affect her, but she chooses to keep her personal life private.


Vocabulary: The term "humiliating," refers to a feeling of loss of pride, dignity, or self-respect. The online shaming experience was humiliating for Lewinsky.
