The Effects of Domestic Violence The propensity for violence is caused by many reasons. Including the violence caused by the psychologically health, the lack of morality and the violence state under unconscious. There is an old saying in China: Like father, like son. I believe that the family education and environment is very important to children, it will affect to them for whole life just like the old saying. I personally don’t prefer to send the negatively emotion or show the brutal situation to the surrenders when I want to state personal idea, especially to those negatively themes. We discussed about the domestic violence against women to the adult world. Society made us feels pressure when we growing up or step to a new stage during …show more content…
At first, they ask those boys to show the love to the girl by physical way. Then, they ask these boys to slap the girl, and all of them reject to do that and stated why they don’t do that. There have a same experiment to the girls named ‘slap him,’ and the girls also reject to hit the boy because they don’t want to. They state that ‘In the kids’ world, women don’t get hurt’ and ‘in the kids’ world, no one wants to hit anyone, not even animals’. The videos showed the attitude about these children towards the domestic violence.
Then, I also saw a video called ‘Slap her’ by the adults. It is an experiment to those NFL players. Oppositely, men ask where to hit the girl or they won’t hurt her on camera because it will make them loose their job. What society, pressure, job, family and morality affected us when we growing up? The surrenders’ attitude to the morality and the family environment must affect us a

U.S. government statistics say that 95% of domestic violence cases involve women victims of male partners. The children of these women often witness the domestic violence (domesticviolencetabel.com 2016). When we were a child, intimating is what we usually do when we learn something is ‘fresh’ to us. When we witness the violence, it cause two results to our mentally health: fragile or the distrust to the relationship or intimate the parents’ behavior or words. I think it is a bad way to give a child a wrong concept about the violence.
When I was a child, my parents fight a lot because they married by arranged. I witnessed or heard the moment when they fight and had an argument, I also cried a lot when I saw the bruise appeared on my parents’ body. My older sister hugs me until I fall asleep at that period. After several time, my parents started to realize it is so affective to us if they had the domestic violence when they fight. That experience also caused the issue of my distrust to the marriage. I think the early attachment relationship between my parents predicts later emotional development to

To summarize, the use of emotion, credibility and reasoning by Sally Thomas clearly and successfully argues that a boy is rough by nature and not violent given a war toy. The sequential use of reasoning, range of authority, and use of emotions in the article made the readers get into the character of a boy and truly understand the points Thomas was making. It is important to study the true cause and effects of violence on boys and act accordingly for fair and peaceful society. Thomas writes the article in order to make the readers realize the true fact behind the violence of boys so maybe people might make the right decision against the roughness.
...eneficial due to the suggestions Simmons gives to teachers, parents and the victims themselves on effective ways to avoid and prevent this abusive behavior from continuing. I would highly recommend this book to girls of all ages, parents, teachers, school faculty or anyone who has contact with girls. Simmons believes we need to teach girls that it is okay to expose their most uncomfortable feelings. There are many dangerous warning signs of girls giving themselves over to someone else’s terms and denying their own feelings which worry Simmons the most. This behavior is dangerous and could lead to victims staying in violent relationships in the future if we do not teach girls early to know how to resist the signs of abuse.
Parent-child intervention programs are another use for the theory. Children learn from experiences based on their home life. “Children’s strategies for managing emotions, resolving disputes, and engaging with others are learned from experience and carried forward across setting and time. For younger children especially, the primary source of these experiences is the parent–child and family relationship environment” (O’Connor, Matias, Futh, Tantam & Scott, 2013).Young children witness much of their learned behaviors from their parents. By intervening at an early age to help change some of the parents behaviors children will then learn new responses to situations. Children who are victims of domestic abuse can see videos or models portraying
The supporting detail of this article does relate to the main idea. The author supports his claim by describing the code of conduct imposed upon boys,
There are many factors that lead people to use violence. They use violence when they are stressed, angry, feeling hatred, drink too much alcohol, use drug. Children are more likely to grow up as violent men if they are influenced by their parents, brothers, sisters and friends, all of whom use violence.
Due to domestic violence’s widespread effects, most individuals either retain, or know an individual who retains, personal experience with domestic violence. In both my personal experience and my mother’s, I preserve three distinct experiences of domestic violence. My first exposure to domestic violence occurred when I was four years old, as my parents reached the breaking point in their marriage. I witnessed physical and emotional abuse in my parent’s marriage as they fought over their three children and their marriage. The physical abuse represents the first, and only, memory I retain of my parents being married. Because I never witnessed my parent’s happily married, it affected my childhood through making me feel as if I must pick a side. I felt that my childhood did not represent a family, but rather a continuous battle over who retained more power over us children and the resources. I deemed relationships as degrading and selfish due to the
During the 1980s and 1900s, domestic violence was one of the most unreported crimes that involve females and males getting hurt and dying. Kicking, choking, killing, and saying brutal or despise words that could hurt the victims physically or emotionally are considered domestic violence. In fact, many victims are afraid to seek for help. According to “The Domestic Violence Resource Center (DVRC), women account for approximately 85 percent of all intimate partner violence, with women aged 20-24 at greater risk” (Batten, par.16). Most pregnant women are at risk as well. “But underlying approach is still one that assumes the perpetrators are men and the victims are woman” (Haugen, par. 1). Moreover, both males and females believe that domestic violence is a solution to their issues.
Domestic violence is a major problem in the United States. When most people think of domestic violence, they think of one person beating the other person in a relationship. Webster defines domestic violence as “the inflicting of physical injury by one family or household member on another.” Domestic violence has a major effect on children. Some people say that the violence has no effect, while others argue that the violence has a negative effect on children. Domestic violence scars children for the rest of their lives. Once children witness the act of violence, they are more likely to have problems throughout the rest of their lives. Domestic Violence has a negative effect on the way children behave, the way they learn, the careers they choose,
In today’s society, I believe that domestic violence is either ignored or taken as a grain of salt. It is teaching the generations to come that it is acceptable to put your hands negatively on your spouse. In my point of view it is not okay no matter what the situation may be. I chose the subject of intimate partner violence because of hearing about specific cases such as Ray Rice’s a few years back really touched me in a negative way. This one in particular makes me cringe knowing that even professional athletes who are supposed to be role models to people all around the world are putting this kind of negative image out there for everyone to see. Domestic violence has many different viewpoints and branches that influence the violence itself
Violence occurring within the family is a prominent fear each family member despises, whereas nobody wants to neither witness it nor be the victim because it’s a sense of fear the whole society faces because it leads to unpleasant dilemmas.
Few would disagree that witnessing the assault of their mother is a very disturbing experience for children. However, not all children living with domestic violence witness the direct physical assaults on their mother but they will be acutely aware of the abuse she suffers. Children do not have to directly witness any violence to be profoundly affected by it. There is a wealth of research which has highlighted the negative impact witnessing domestic violence can have on children. Abrahams (1994) found that ninety one per cent of the mothers within her research thought their children had suffered negative effects due to domestic violence. Furthermore, eighty six per cent believed these negative effects continued into adolescence.
important to me as the writer, that you find that, while domestic violence is a
There are many different types of domestic violence. Physical abuse is the most obvious form, but this is not to say that outsiders always recognize it. Generally, physical violence causes bodily harm, using a variety of methods. Slapping, pushing, throwing, hitting, punching, and strangling are only a few methods. An object or weapon may or may not be used. There is not always physical evidence of physical abuse such as bruising, bleeding, scratches, bumps, etc., therefore, absence of physical marks does not necessarily mean physical abuse had not occurred. Physical abuse sometimes escalates to murder (Morris and Biehl 7, Haley 14-17).
“Domestic violence is a violent confrontation between family or household members involving physical harm, sexual assault, or fear of physical harm” (Stewart & Croudep, 1998-2012). In most places domestic violence is looked on as one of the higher priorities when trying to stop crime. Domestic Violence cases are thought to be influenced by the use of alcohol, drugs, stress or anger but in reality, they are just learned behaviors by the batterer. These habits can be stopped as long as one seeks help (Stewart & Croudep, 1998-2012). For instance, a child is brought up in a household that is constantly involved in criminal acts. As this child grows up, the criminal lifestyle will be synonymous with his/her behavior. With that being said, it is also a given fact that if a household and its members are surrounded with violence, the relationships between one another will be strained. Eventually this will end up in a divorce or even worse, death, depending on how far the violence goes. If there is violence in a family, then the ones who are affected by it may feel like they deserve it because of what the batterer is accusing them of doing. Battering occurs among people of all races, ages, socio-economic classes, religious affiliations, occupations, and educational backgrounds (Stewart & Croudep, 1998-2012). Domestic violence can affect families in more aspects than one; the husband-wife relationship, the children, and also the financial stability.
