Stress and coping theory refers to that a stressful event put a family into crisis, the family’s perception of the event and the family’s available resources can lead families to adjust to a better or worse outcome. The family stressor can be either positive or negative (Price, Price& Mckenry, 2010). Family conflict is a stressful event to a family. Every family role can potentially be a victim of violence, such as partner, elderly or a child (Gelles, 2010). There are many factors included in the stressful event, violence. Children are more likely to suffer violence from mothers, wives are having higher chances to be abused by husbands and boys have higher rates to violent siblings. Moreover, low-income households are under higher risk of experience domestic violence, minorities are also considered as having higher rates of violence, hard times in lives, including being a single parent, are also associated with more violence, socially isolated is also contributes to the problem, adults who have been abused as children are more likely to implement violence on others (Galles, 2010). There are some coping resources, such as programs, are existed for victims to get over the hard time. For instance, in Zimbabwe, 16 days session has been held to help people raise the awareness of violence (Leeder, 2004). Other programs are also available resources for family coping process.

From approximately 1000-1600 ce knights and samurai existed in Europe and Asia. Although they were around the same time period they were different. Knights were the European warriors and the samurai were the Japanese warriors. Although they are both warriors their codes and the way of preparing for battle were different.

Life is filled with many difficulties which affect us all in one way or another. However, we do not all face the same difficulties. If we are to survive we need to first understand what these difficulties or problems are, in order to learn how to deal with them. One such problem is, is domestic violence.

Another interesting difference of the movie and the Bible were the miracles shown in the Book of Exodus. In the Bible, Moses uses a staff to perform the miracles God asks him to do. He even turns the staff into a snake. However, in the movie, he uses a sword to part the Red Sea. In the Bible, God orders Moses to go to the bank of the Nile and use his staff to stretch it out for the rivers and all the reservoirs of water to turn into blood.
In most circumstances, family and loved ones are usually seen as the most reliable support systems that a person can have. However, there are certain circumstances in which family members are the ones who are creating the problems. One of the prominent issues that can potentially occur within families involves domestic violence, with the victim usually being a woman. With most family matters, those who are looking from the outside are usually hesitant in intervening with those types of personal issues. In order to reduce the occurrence of domestic violence, there must be assistance and training provided for all of the parties involved. This includes providing assistance to the victim, perpetrator, and third parties in order for change
Abstract Domestic Violence is a crisis that many families have experienced. Women are often caught off guard and are unprepared for the series of battering to occur; they may be unsure of how to proceed and what they will do if they decide to leave. Crisis affects each woman differently. An individual’s personal, material, and social resources impact how a person will respond to a crisis. The individual’s resources also impact how long the person will be going through
There have been copious amounts of research done on close relationships concerning roles they play in coping with adversity and stress. A lot of research is available on loneliness, social support, stress, and coping. There is very little research done on the relationship between religious beliefs and these processes. Many religions, including Christianity, focus on relationship with God or some other type of deity. The interesting thing about this that certain religions seem to be correlated with loneliness, the experience of it. Previous studies have shown results that reflect that religion and loneliness are directly related. One study showed that, Christians who emphasize a personal relationship with Jesus were less lonely than Christians

As Elle Woods stands on the stage four years later graduating at the top of her class, with all kinds of opportunities thrown her way that’s a moment that could make any young woman feel like she’s capable of anything. Legally Blonde should be a required movie for young women to watch because it is such an inspiration to the female society. This movie inspires young women that no matter what people think a female is like as a person, that they can turn any bias around, and go in any path, or be anything that they want to be.
Many women stay with an abusive partner for five main reasons: social background, financial problems, lack of family support, traditions and values (Gharaibeh & Oweis, 2009). Violence against women is a severe problem that creates a negative environment. As a result, other individuals living in the family are also negatively affected when there are sudden changes in a household. Moreover, society needs to acknowledge these negative impacts that occur within the household against women. When violence is perpetuated within families, children often observe their parents and thus reflect violent characteristics in their behaviours; thereby, such features can be passed on for generations. In addition, a positive environment must be enforced for families that are affected by domestic violence; understanding the negative effects is the first

Children are abused or witness violence and abuse from their parents and other adults in their community, particularly when gender violence is common due to the pressures of poverty. The effects of violence and ill-treatment on the family include divorce, where one of the parents or marriage partners is unable to continue facing the abuse they face. The high levels of divorce reported among the poor result from the adverse experiences of social exclusion, and discrimination in the wider community, noting that they transfer the same experiences to other family members (Burgard, Ailshire & Kalousova, 2013). Unfortunately, the same violence is communicated to children, due to the unfavorable family life experiences that all the members of the family experience. At the community level, the children and the adults living in poverty face social exclusion and discrimination in society, and therefore develop the aggressiveness and the lack of self-control that also drive them towards criminal behaviors. In particular, many of the children living in poverty are taken advantage of or are abused, and therefore, develop the knowledge that adverse situations and experiences can only be addressed and confronted through responses such as violence. In essence, the children do not develop the knowledge of constructive ways of dealing with problems, and therefore will end up engaging in some form of
