Domestic violence is an epidemic in the United States. Victims of domestic violence and perpetrators of domestic violence can be anyone. Domestic violence, not only that there were two people, the whole family. The people involved may be of any race. In contrast to our stereotypes, domestic violence happens to the rich, educated and even soccer moms. "The violence is caused primarily by men, most men have been socialized in a male identity." (Wood, 2009). "In the United KingdomStates, every 08/12 seconds a woman is beaten by a man, four women are reported every day, beaten to death, and women are 600 percent more likely by an intimate partner than men are brutalized "(Wood, 2009) .. Statistically speaking, knows nothing of domestic violence learned socio-economic, educational, racial or religious boundaries, and domestic violence may be ignorant;. it is important that the forms of abuse, why women stay, programs and able to recognize the changesmade to the statistics growing for future generations to reduce, because unlike child abuse, elder abuse and domestic violence are not required by law to report domestic violence Illinois.How experienced? "The majority of domestic violence through training and strengthening, not biology or genetics." (, Farmer 2007).
This behavior is by observing others who have abused someone in their presence or that they themselves have learned abused. "Studies have found that almost half ofViolent men have grown up in homes where their father or stepfather was violent. "(Bauer, 2007). A boy can learn to be aggressive as a child. For example, playing in the competition in sports, kids who play soccer suffer harsh, physical pain and injuries and to face their opponents. (Woods, 2009). also shows the emotion is frowned upon. This is for violent behavior against women, children, animals may be tied, because they become more mature. After Turning Point, Inc. "The violence by men againstWomen in intimate relationships is a social problem tolerated and supported by the customs and traditions of each society. Pornographic videos, magazines and Web sites to learn how to respect women unworthy motives and value only as sexual objects for men to teach. Most video games and computers have become an important training resource for children and adolescents. Many messages of gender roles as men are men, and aggressive control with the value of womenlimited their sexual attractiveness. Children often learn they are not accountable for their actions. Aggression in children is increasingly treated as a medical problem. The boys are diagnosed and treated with drugs instead of identifying that they may have been traumatized and exposed to violence and abuse at home.
Nationwide Society
Domestic violence is repeated because it works, because it often has no legal consequences. The fact that domestic violence is learned that the meansMisconduct can be changed. Most people can not learn to batter, if there is sufficient reason to change this behavior. "(Bauer, 2007, page 2). In our society there are many forms of violent behavior, which is also" are physical, verbal, emotional, sexual and visual brutality inflicted exclusively or disproportionately members of the same sex. "(Wood, 2009, page 285). The first form of physical abuse.'s Men physically abuse women, hitting, biting, stables,Slide or sexual violence. The female victim is weaker than that of society and deserves the abuse, while males are considered guilty of being strong, aggressive and control displays. The second form of verbal abuse. This type of injury can be performed by a man of intimidating their partners. Ignore include lowering verbally intimidating, degrading, disrespectful, "he told us what to do," or the words "You're fat, ugly or stupid." Or it can be used with other wordsbe: "No one ever want you to be" "and you will never amount to anything."
The third form of emotional abuse of persons. This can include the male partner makes comments poisonous, that the female to feel guilty, injured or traumatized and very scared to take all necessary steps to get out of the situation. For example, the use of sound and body language to indicate the female is stupid, ignorant, incompetent or worse. A statement that is often used is: "But who do you thinkbe? "According to Julia T. Wood on page 289 of Gendered Lives" is used, at least 28 percent and perhaps as many as fifty percent of women of domestic violence, physical, mental, emotional, linguistic and economic power, will suffer a partner against the other partner in a romantic relationship. "(Wood, 2009, page 289).
Why do women have to stay in a relationship if the abuse has occurred? The reasons are so numerous, because women are free to indulge in their relationsbe abused. For example, the lack of income and education. The men have not allowed full control of the working spouse or have the money. Women are isolated and do not have external relations, including the family. The abusive spouse calls to ask where is her husband and to account for their fate at any time of day. Most women feel to stay in the relationship feel like there's no way out trapped. Women stay because they are afraid of the consequencesand do not know where they are going to feel safe. They feel like without a new identity, which can be found. This is especially true when children are involved.
Women feel guilty for removing the child from his father. Finally, women will justify the abuse, saying, "I deserve", "if I not only made him mad", or "if only what he asked me, should be done:" I could not have been defeated. Many women feel that they are obliged to remain because of their religion "submissive" to theirSpouse. Some women are the environment, a people pleaser to increase primarily for their parents. Are not you better get married and be subject to know your spouse. In Chapter Twelve Gendered lives on page 284, "four million American women experience a serious assault by a partner during an average period of twelve months and at least three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends every day." (Woods, 2007, page 284). Western society recognizes domestic violencewith at least four levels of violence. In Gendered Lives by Julia T. Woods on page 293, it is the cycle of violence in the partnership and its four phases. They are identified as a train explosion, remorse, and the honeymoon phase. The two phases remain to help the victims, because of the guilt phase and honeymoon. During the authors' remorse will say anything to make the report as "sorry" and I never promise to "Do It Again" or desperately say: "I"Help, and never follow through. During the honeymoon of the authors feel guilty about their actions and usually the victim to purchase a gift for his behavior.
The alarming number of gender-based violence is an epidemic at the national level, which is borne by society must be stronger. Today, domestic violence against women is still increasing with the concerns of the health problems of women. Thirty years ago battered women had no options as a place to go or placesthat would provide help and support. Today there are more places like shelters, churches and agencies will go to help victims of domestic violence. These shelters not only provide a place to stay, but to help stop orders, money, lawyers and new life. The company needs to address abuse by men and educate the public, especially the next generation, more to prevent attacks violent. The solutions sound rather simple, but we as a nation must reassesshow we handle so that the criminals in our society, and how to define them, and prevent.
We must learn to be effective parents, spouses and teachers, without resorting to violent behavior in disputes with our loved ones and those who are communicating. To be able to reduce the statistics of gender violence, it is important that the characteristics of stages and types of abuse to identify. Only by presenting our views, we can make a difference, or stop the abusePerson of the family or relationship, or if someone you know has been abused. Each community is by volunteering in their town or through awareness, helping to open violence.
All women are subject, a victim of domestic violence, unless the society as a whole decides to talk about it. Statistics can be changed in today's actual increase in domestic violence? Yes, we can speak of laws to help, because if the laws and penalties againstManagers are increasingly stringent, can prevent further domestic violence as a whole. In contemporary culture, domestic violence against women is not only subject to any economic class, it is up to each person and how society changes, the current statistics is to do fewer.
