In order for us to determine our liability, should Paula sue for discrimination, we need to understand what the courts consider a hostile working environment, and determine if Sam has, in fact, created one.

When the child breaks these boundaries, he or she should be punished. A spanking should come in response to disobedience. The child should not be spanked for making mistakes or accidents, such as wetting his bed or breaking something, only for challenging the parent's position.

Perpetrators of domestic violence are usually not sick or deranged, but have learned abusive, manipulative techniques and behaviors that allow them to dominate and control others and obtain the responses they desire. Teaching the victim to view the abusers actions such as: An abuser will often restrict a victim's outlets, forbidding the victim to maintain outside employment, friends, and family ties.

The author used an ethos and logos appeals to introduce his or her purpose as he/she stated “The best way to teach teens that sexting is wrong is to prosecute them legally.”, “But this is something that just cannot be dismissed as kids ‘ doing stupid things.’” ”Authorities aren’t convicting children, but using the law as teaching tool and trying to put stop to a toxic new trend.” And “The civil libertarians may wish to consider their position.”.

They often do not want to create more of a problem or have the blame be on them. If you suspect that a child or teenager is in an abusive situation, it is your job to help.

It is best that ‘dual relationships’ are avoided, such as when the therapist knows the client as a friend as this can be detrimental to the client. Records must be kept and referred to throughout treatment, but should be confidential between client and therapist. There may be times when the therapist may have to break client confidentiality, i.e. when a client poses a risk to themselves or someone else. The therapist must also work within the confines of the law, for example if treating a child who has suffered sexual abuse then the therapist has a duty to disclose any details of the offender.
