Another problem was that even though there are anti-discrimination policies, a slight differential treatment towards minorities is still present. Employers expect and demand more input from minority groups and that is why people are hesitant to leave their workplace to cast a vote (Rivers, 2012). An outside source looks at voting from a different perspective. An interestingly opposing statistic is that minority groups with higher education and social status take the time to participate, as voting is very important to them. They want to take part in the choice of their government because it took so long and so much effort for them to receive the equal rights and abilities to enjoy democracy (Speel, 2010).
Stress maybe increased when a person is living in a family situation with increased pressures. Social stresses due to inadequate finances or other such problems in a family may further increase tensions. Violence is not always caused by stress, but may be one way that some people respond/deal with stress. Secondly, domestic violence maybe a way in which the man/woman is trying to attain power and control over the partner. This is using violence in order to gain power and control.
Communication Tara Shramek COM200: Interpersonal Communication Nichole Bogarosh Communication between people especially spouses has become a harder task than what it once was. Sometimes when I try to talk with my husband it ends up causing a fight and we are unable to get the main point of the conversation in the first place. Couples feel that they are in sync with each other when in all reality it is just as easy to stay quiet without communication. According to author Kenneth Savitsky, “Some couples may indeed be on the same wavelength, but maybe not as much as they think. You get rushed and preoccupied, and you stop taking the perspective of the other person, precisely because the two of you are so close.” I feel he is more than right on this subject.
Many of the statistics he gives show that a child raised outside of a stable habitat has higher chances of illegal drug usage, teenage pregnancy, and emotional and behavioral issues. Do to the lack of commitment in modern relationships, divorce has become very prevalent in America. Santorum proposes that the main reason for the high rate of divorce is directly linked to the fact that husband and wife are more focused on making sure that they are happy as individuals, rather than on a family unit. This in turn, leaves the child feeling unloved and uncared for, in-turn leading to social issue. Living
Level 3 CYPW-SC Unit 62 Assignment- Understand the issues affecting young people in relation to sexual health and risk of pregnancy 1.1 Pregnancy- Teenage pregnancy is a serious social problem and a key inequality and social exclusion issue. Having children at a young age can damage young women's health and well-being and severely limit their education and career prospects. While individual young people can be competent parents, all the evidence shows that children born to teenagers are much more likely to experience a range of negative outcomes in later life. Children born to teenage parents are also much more likely, in time, to become teenage parents themselves. While the negative consequences of teenage pregnancy are felt most by young women and their children, it is important that strategies to reduce teenage pregnancy also impact on young men's attitudes and behavior.
Same-gender marriage has become a hotly contested topic in the past few years, and while many people are beginning to see it as what it really is, an issue of equality and justice, there are still many people who are set against it for various reasons, although mostly religious ones. Same-gender couples should legally be allowed to get married because peoples’ religious biases have no place in the federal government, it will give them access to the many legal protections and privileges that heterosexual married couples get, and while any group of people is being denied their rights, society is being damaged. The United States is a federal state that was, more or less, literally founded on the basis of religious freedom and the separation of church and state, and denying people the right to marry because some people are using religion as an excuse for their ignorance is unconstitutional and wrong. Not only are conservative members of Congress using their power to stop bills that would allow same-gender couples to marry from being passed, but many religion-based groups (almost always Christian ones) will rally together and contribute money and time to do the same. One must realize that our country is a diverse place full of people who hold
In today’s society families consist of civil unions, single parents, and families that try to utilize and keep the same values that were present in the 1950’s. These families are faced with restrictions from society, living up to the expectations to provide the same love and support as the traditional families do. Everyday these families prove that they are capable of breaking the molds. In life we are affected by the decisions that politicians make everyday based on marriage. We are facing a big problem in society about marriages and their stances on civil unions.

Divorce is tragic on many levels and all too often the impact on children is more then just the shock of their parents living in two different places. Other then “deal breakers” which could have physical or psychological damage to a child, society needs to take another look at why they are getting
The article also suggested that teens also listened to the information better when it came from their parents rather than school, or other outside sources. Sex and Teens: Why Abstinence Isn’t Working from Oprah Magazine stated that a growing number of studies is proving that school abstinence programs have little impact on adolescent sexual behavior. Worse, new research suggests they could even be endangering kids by failing to
