It’s beneficial as there are male and female role models available for the children, and it gives the parents more control of how their children are brought up. Another strength is that there’s less interference from wider family members however this can also be seen as a negative aspect, as other people are unaware of what’s happening and if there was any problems within the family and therefore it’s difficult to identify neglect. This also makes it difficult to seek professional help outside of the family. Another disadvantage of this privatised nuclear family is that children are only exposed to one set of values and so are influenced to become like their parents in the future as they have no exposure to other behaviours of different families. A criticism of this
Until the end of the 18th century it was legal to beat wives and this was called lawful correction. The usual pattern for domestic violence is based on gender and almost always men against women for example it has been proven that there were 6.6 million incidents of domestic physical assault in 1995. It’s been proven that 50% of all adult women experience incidents of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking. But saying this, the conviction rate for rape is only 5.5%. Overall young women aged 20-24 report the highest levels of violence.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND CONFLICT THEORY Domestic violence is a phenomenon that runs rampant in every social class. It is a crime that does not discriminate against gender, religion, social status or culture and most shocking, age. Anyone can be a victim or perpetrator. It is a crime that was once considered a private affair and was kept secret within the family. But over the years, domestic violence has been discussed openly amongst the media, doctors, and law enforcement agencies and in the courts.

For Teenagers who fall pregnant, it is difficult to juggle the insecurities of teenage hood with learning basic parenting skills. As a result, teenage parents often consider abortion. Statistics show that New Zealand has one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in the world, with around fifty girls in every thousand falling pregnant. Of these pregnancies, about half result in abortion. An advantage of putting a parenting licence in place will be to educate these teenagers on basic parenting skills to qualify them to raise a child, avoiding such abortions.
Not only can it cause physical medical issues, it can cause psycholgical issues too. A study done in 2002 showed that more than 173,000 women who aborted were 154% more likely to commit suicide than to the women who carried their pregnancies full term (ProCon 3). Parts of Pro-Choice do have their
Children under 18 years of age are the largest group of trafficking victims in the States (Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force, 2012). In 2000, the Trafficking Victims Protection Act was passed though Legislation. This gave trafficked victims the same social services and benefits as individuals with refugee status. Victims are reluctant to come forth so identifying them is very difficult. Therefore, it is important the social workers are educated in ways to identify these victims in order to provide these services.
Social reproduction and preservation of social relations Group of people have found so hard to classify people regarding their culture but over the period the use of cultural integration has gradually changed the classification. With the development of technology over the period social reproduction has been practiced all over the world and regardless of generations that appear preservation of these social relations has been preserved. Regardless of our efforts the fear of belonging to a diverse culture, there will always be barriers between us in case there is no means of integrating this relations. To understand the concept of social reproduction I considered watching movie with the title “The Village”, which is a story of community that lived in an unspecified time and place, of which is surrounded by a forest of dangerous animals and horrific creatures. The dressing and language and lack of technological advancement in the movie clearly indicate that it is a community of the ancient century (Scott).
Child Sexual Abuse and Crime Child Sexual Abuse, child maltreatment and crime are prohibited all around the world. “Child maltreatment, which includes both child abuse and child neglect, is a major social problem. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, over a million children are victims of maltreatment and sexual abuse annually. Over half a million children suffer serious injuries, and about 1500 children die, making child maltreatment the leading cause of deaths from injuries in children over a year old. In addition to this appalling immediate toll, child abuse is thought to have many harmful long-term consequences” (“James Poterba 1”).
Therefore, culture and socialization can be major influences when it comes to domestic violence. The advancement in cultural abuse is growing larger in numbers and happening right in our community. While estimates are that approximately one and a half million American women experience a serious assault by their partner in a twelve month period, domestic violence among immigrant refugee women are more prevalent. (Yale Law Journal,102(6) 1401-1430) It is easy to understand the battered immigrant refugee women may encounter communication, cultural, legal, social and economic barriers. Cultural acceptance of abusive behavior, lack of usual familial, community support and social isolation may lead to tolerance of acceptance that battering is the norm.
