                                              Why should others care?

Thesis




   •   Domestic violence is when one or both people in a
       relationship are being abused, either emotionally or
       physically. The easiest way to stop the abuse is to get out
       of the relationship while you still can.

Men get abused too.
It may not get spoken
about, but it happens.
•   ”Although she had been physically aggressive in the past,
    she turned downright violent toward me. It started by hitting
    me with the phone, throwing objects at me, kicking and
    clawing. She drew blood a number of times. Under advice
    from my attorney, I was warned that even taking a defensive
    position could be seen as an act of violence toward her. The
    ONLY physical action I took toward her was to restrain her
    from hitting or biting or kicking me. She was an expert at
    falling down and screaming -- "see kids, look at what your
    dad is doing to me." - Anonymous

KAY’S JOURNAL ENTRY

                  “I have nothing else to
                  give him.  He will not
                  leave me alone.  I feel
                  sorry for him.  So very
                  sorry.  He continually  
                  crushes my spirit.  Help
                  me. Help me. Help me.”

Penny, Leisring A. "Journal Of Aggression ." What Will Happen if I Punch Him?:
  n. pag. EBSCOHOST. Web. 23 Dec. 2010. In this journal, Leisring A. Penny
  talks about a different view of domestic violence. Instead of the man being
  the abuser, its the woman. She decided to do a study on how many college
  women beat on their boyfriends during an argument and more than half of
  them did. By doing her study, she found out that aggressive women who argue
  in a relationship are most likely to get their way.

  Jacqueline Golding, Melissa Farley, and Jerome figured out that most women
  who have been in abusive relationships are most likely to have relationship
  problems. Most of the women who were abused had problems socially
  interacting with people.

Conclusion

• After researching Domestic Violence, I
  learned that it doesn’t matter what race,
  size, or sex you are, you can still be a victim
  of abuse. I also learned about the possible
  ways to get out of an abusive relationship
  and the ways to get help.

  • 43. Works Cited Penny, Leisring A. "Journal Of Aggression ." What Will Happen if I Punch Him?: n. pag. EBSCOHOST. Web. 23 Dec. 2010. In this journal, Leisring A. Penny talks about a different view of domestic violence. Instead of the man being the abuser, its the woman. She decided to do a study on how many college women beat on their boyfriends during an argument and more than half of them did. By doing her study, she found out that aggressive women who argue in a relationship are most likely to get their way. McCaw, Brigid, et al.

Brigid McCaw, Jacqueline Golding, Melissa Farley, and Jerome figured out that most women who have been in abusive relationships are most likely to have relationship problems. Most of the women who were abused had problems socially interacting with people. Newton, C.J. "Domestic Violence: An Overview." Findcounseling.com. Mental Health Journal, Feb. 2001.

  • 45. Conclusion • After researching Domestic Violence, I learned that it doesn’t matter what race, size, or sex you are, you can still be a victim of abuse. I also learned about the possible ways to get out of an abusive relationship and the ways to get help. http://www.flickr.com/photos/harpazo_hope/5043198940/

  1. 1.) You&amp;#x2019;re sitting down to breakfast at a diner, and the woman across from you has a black eye and a bloody lip. Later, you notice the man that she&amp;#x2019;s with grab her wrist during an argument. What would you do?\n2). Your neighbor&amp;#x2019;s child always has bruises and he&amp;#x2019;s never outside. When you see him getting into the car and ask him what happened, his mother quickly says &amp;#x201C;He fell down.&amp;#x201D; What do you do? \n3). You&amp;#x2019;re all ready to walk out the door and your boyfriend/girlfriend says he/she doesn&amp;#x2019;t like your outfit and wants you to change. Do you change or do you stay in the same outfit? \n4). Your boyfriend/girlfriend insists on taking your check to pay all of your bills. What do you do?\n5). What would you do if your boyfriend/girlfriend pushed you up against a wall? Would you fight back or would you call for help?\n6). It&amp;#x2019;s Friday night and you want to hang out with friends but your boyfriend/girlfriend says no. What would you do? \n7). You see one of your old friends from elementary school, who happens to be the opposite sex, and your boyfriend/girlfriend get jealous. He/She tells you not to speak to them anymore. Would you still speak to them or would you stop?\n8). You accidentally spill soda on the floor. Your partner gets mad and starts calling you names. Do you say mean things back or do you let it go?\n\nThese scenarios were all examples of domestic abuse. The whole point of me having you do this activity was to see how you&amp;#x2019;d react if you were put in a situation like one of those. \n

  4. Domestic Violence is important to me because I have family members, close friends, and neighbors who were and still are victims of dating abuse. I never actually witnessed it but I do hear about it so I wanted to be aware for myself and for others. Dating abuse is talked about a lot but I feel like it should be talked about more. Many people die from not getting out of unhealthy relationships so I think that we should bring it to peoples attention more by talking about it in school. \n
  5. \n
  6. Domestic Violence is when one or both partners in a relationship is being physically or mentally abused out of power and control. In a relationship, anyone can be abused and it doesn&amp;#x2019;t matter if you are a male or female. Most people think that women are only the victims in abusive relationships because they hear about women getting abused more but men are actually victims too. Anyone can be the victim and anyone can be the abuser. It doesn&amp;#x2019;t matter what race, skin color, age, or size you are, you could still be a victim. \n
  7. One in four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.\n
  8. Each year in the United States, an estimated four million women report physical or sexual abuse from their male partners.\n
  9. 50% of the men who beat their wives, abused their children.\n
  10. In 2004, 1,544 deaths were domestic violence related and 25% of the deaths were males and 75% were women.\n
  11. The average battered woman leaves the relationship seven times before actually leaving for good.\n
  12. Domestic Violence happens in lesbian and gay relationships just as often as heterosexual relationships. Each year, 100,000 lesbians and 500,000 gays are beaten by their partners. The only difference in gay relationships is that they expose their partners sexual preference to their family, friends, and co-workers. If a victim is gay, they don&amp;#x2019;t get as much help from shelters, law enforcement agencies, and organizations. Some states don&amp;#x2019;t recognize same sex relationships as domestic violence and 1,500 shelters denied same sex victims in 1994.\n
  13. Different types of Abuse:\nPhysical\nEmotional\nSexual\nEconomic\n
  14. There are several different types of abuse. One example of abuse is physical. Physical abuse is when hitting, shoving, pushing, biting, and forced sex is involved in a relationship. In 1996, 30% of female murder victims were killed by their husbands or boyfriends because they did not get out of an abusive relationship. 35,000 men are physically assaulted by an intimate partner yearly.\n
  15. Another form of abuse is emotional. The most common examples of emotional abuse are; name calling, put downs, and threats. Insecurities and low self-esteem causes emotional abuse. Emotional abuse can be just as horrifying as physical.\n\n
  16. (Also known as partner rape) is a form of physical abuse.\nSexual abuse is usually unwanted, forced sex. People believe that partner rape isn&amp;#x2019;t as serious as stranger rape but it is. Victims of partner rape carry the effects longer than victims of stranger rape. \n\nThings the victims say: \n&amp;#x201C;That didn&amp;#x2019;t happen, it&amp;#x2019;s only rape if it&amp;#x2019;s a stranger does it, he wouldn&amp;#x2019;t really hurt me.&amp;#x201D;\n&amp;#x201C;It wont happen again.&amp;#x201D;\n&amp;#x201C;It&amp;#x2019;s my fault, I led him/her on.&amp;#x201D;\n&amp;#x201C;It&amp;#x2019;s not that bad, at least he didn&amp;#x2019;t beat me up.&amp;#x201D;\n\nThey usually feel betrayed because they can&amp;#x2019;t believe that someone they thought loved them would hurt them on purpose, humiliated because they feel dirty, and they end up being scared because they don&amp;#x2019;t want it to happen again.\n\n\n
  17. When someone is being economically abused, they aren&amp;#x2019;t allowed to work or go to school. Their partner doesn&amp;#x2019;t allow them to work because they want control over all of the income coming in. If the victim is working, the abuser takes all of their money and makes them quit their job. They also, beat them while they&amp;#x2019;re on their way to interviews and while they&amp;#x2019;re on their way to work. Often, the abuser stalks them, makes death threats, and threatens to commit suicide in front of them if they don&amp;#x2019;t listen. By doing so, the abuser can continue to be abusive if the victim isn&amp;#x2019;t financially stable. Also, the victim isn&amp;#x2019;t allowed to visit family. The abuser is afraid that the victim will tell family or friends what is really happening in the relationship.\n
  18. Abusers can be anyone. They can be doctors, lawyers, judges, nurses, cops, mechanics, or they can even be unemployed. Most of the time, abusers are only abusive toward their spouse or children. The characteristics of abusers: They need a lot of attention, they&amp;#x2019;re jealous, controlling, they depend on their partner, they have low self-esteem, and they are usually very manipulative.\n\n\n
  19. Usually, the abuser starts to become abusive from his/her past and environment. For example, a young woman sees her mother come home from work, screaming and yelling at her father, so she thinks it&amp;#x2019;s ok to do so. Domestic violence is also linked to poor self-esteem. Children who have violent homes usually end up with low self-esteem because they think they aren&amp;#x2019;t good enough.\n
  20. When the abuser is jealous over small things, that could be a sign of Domestic Violence. Example: &amp;#x201C;Why are you talking to him, you&amp;#x2019;re trying to leave me for him?&amp;#x201D; Also, control issues play a huge part in abuse. Example: Saying &amp;#x201C;you can&amp;#x2019;t go to the mall with your friends.&amp;#x201D; Control issues lead to physical and mental problems.\n\n
  21. This is violence wheel and it basically tells how Domestic Violence comes from power and control issues. \nUsing threats: Makes the person do something, if they don&amp;#x2019;t. They threaten to hurt them.\nIntimidation: Making him/her feel afraid of them by using looks or gestures.\nEmotional Abuse: Put downs &amp; name calling.\nIsolation: Controlling what he/she does. Isolating them from their friends/family.\nDenying &amp; blaming: Saying the abuse didn&amp;#x2019;t happen.\nUsing children: Using children to relay messages.\nUsing privilege: Making him/her their servant.\nEconomic abuse: Taking their money.\n \n
  22. The victims of Domestic Violence could be anyone. There are many effects on the victims, like developing low self-esteem, self-confidence, and they become convinced they are crazy or they blame themselves for being abused.Many of the victims will suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression. They develop them because of the continuous cycle they can&amp;#x2019;t escape from. The only way the victims will bounce back is to build their self-esteem back up. To do so, they have to be in a positive environment. \n
  23. Domestic violence has a major effect on children and teenagers, emotionally and physically. Nearly, half of children in abusive families become abusers of emotional and physical abuse. Most bullies are violent because they get it from home.Children are more vulnerable to sexual and physical abuse. In households where one adult abuses the other, children are 1,500 times more likely to be abused than children who don&amp;#x2019;t witness it. Children make up 27% of Domestic Violence killings and 90% of the children are under 10 years old, and 56% are under two years old. If children are living in an abusive household, it increases their chances of having developmental, behavioral, and emotional problems and it increases their chances of being abusive. The major effects on children are: aches and pains, bed wetting, sleep disorders, childish behavior, depression, and low self-esteem. They also become suicidal, they cut themselves, and they also develop eating disorders. Boys usually grow up to be violent like the male figure in their lives and girls usually grow up to deal with the violence like the woman in their lives.\n
  24. \n
  25. Every year, three million women are abused by their boyfriends or husbands. One out of three women has been forced into sex or beaten by their partner.
