What are the patterns and reasons for domestic violence in society? Firstly the government defines domestic violence as “any incident of threatening behaviour, violence or abuse. (physical, sexual, financial or emotional) between adults who are intimate partners or family members, regardless of gender or sex”. However in society women have been perceived as the property of men. Until the end of the 18th century it was legal to beat wives and this was called lawful correction.
Aaron Devor explores how these factors, gender behavior and various entertainments, potentially affect everyone in “Becoming member of society: Learning the social meanings of gender.” Not only do Kilbourne’s ads ridicule men by showing the obsession of males, but also the other two authors show how other modern society’s entertainments are meant to ridicule men and most importantly women with their acts of violence and sexuality. The males are the majority species that get hurt through music we hear and programs we watch, whereas advertisements hurt females. The entertainments substantially imply most men are violent, and the advertisements imply women as material objects. In A sense, men and women learning the consequences of violence and sexuality in daily life would help them to find a common ground with another built on respect and compassion because both genders are getting hurt
Rape has affected many cultures and women’s life that we cannot imagine. In E.J. Graff’s article, he puts makes a lot of points that we should think about and change about our world. What exactly is rape? For men, it is simply a means to enjoy women’s bodies.
Obviously, his behaviour of “sexually charged looks and gestures” and “unnecessary touching” such as hugging is a sexual harassment action to women if the women were not willing to. And first, we should confirm this issue that Haddad really had done those things to female staffs and his actions corresponded to the reports from at least 10 women. Sexual harassment cases are hard to confirm because it rarely has witnesses, so a proper investigation should take place to the authenticity of Haddad’s behaviour, If it corresponds to the reports that he allegedly sexually harassed to the female staffs, he have to be terminated. And there are three “progressive discipline policy” that written warnings, suspensions, and determination, the reason I think he should be terminated , not written warnings or suspensions is that he has high level position in the company he number of victims is more than ten, it is a sexual harassment case that by senior management personnel to numbers of female staffs. If he does not be fired, and his behaviour would go beyond the scope of the company’s definition of sexual harassment, then many female staffs would be “legally” harassed.
If he goes to a general counselor or therapist without expertise in domestic violence, the violent behavior and patterns of coercion, control, and entitlement may be not even acknowledged. Batterers often have a sense of entitlement that allows them to justify emotionally, physically, sexually and verbally abusing their partners. A very high number of batterers also physically abuse their children. Although some may never lay a hand on their children, if they are abusing the mothers, then they are indirectly abusing the children as
There are some situations where women are the perpetrators of the abuse and men are the victims, but usually clinicians only see women seeking treatment for abuse. The US Department of Justice estimates that women are up to eight times more likely than men to be victimized by an intimate partner. Nurses play a very important role in identifying and treating the victims of intimate partner violence. Intimate partner violence is summarily defined as an ongoing pattern of domination and control perpetrated against an intimate partner through a culmination of physical violence, sexual assault, and/or psychological abuse. The abuser’s ultimate goal is to establish control over their victims.
Outline and assess feminist explanations of crime and deviance. Feminist views toward crime and deviance usually challenge the theories, concepts, methods and assumptions of most of the people already involved in the study of crime. They believe that in most condition men dominate the subject of crime and validate more on the male subject. Feminist essentially outline that most crime is caused by men as they appear to offend six or seven times more than a women and through figures such as self-report studies men are still the majority. Crime and deviance is an issue in society however due to women being socially controlled within the patriarchal society it means they are less like to commit crime and therefore have a lower rate.
It is advised that they receive mental health treatment to deal with these fears of rejection. Some men are cross dressers and are in fear of not being socially accepted by their own gay community. Gay men have reported to being assaulted and harassed by other men. They have even been beat brutally. Having to live with HIV and being gay has been reported to not being easy.
KEITH MOORE CASTRATION AND JUDGES 11/3/11 JADM Week 2 Assignment Castration is defined as being rendered impotent or to deprive of vitality especially by psychological means. For men it is to deprive of the testes and for females to deprive of the ovaries. There have been lots of questions being raised about castration being used as punishment for criminals like rapists, and child molesters. I myself find this interesting because until I researched the topic I learned that there are two ways of castration which are surgically and chemically. Usually when castration comes to mind most people think of the chopping off of a person’s private parts.
The major goal is to teach people to avoid conflict and if not possible how to deal with it. Most people simply suggest carrying a whistle and pepper spray to deal with those violent situations; however, if under attack, chances are there won’t be enough time to reach for that spray or whistle.
