Deep Emotional Effects Of Violence

In “Shame: The emotions and morality of violence,” James Gilligan, a professor of Psychiatry at New York University, argues to make a point that shame can lead to violence in a certain amount of people. After working and interviewing with two convicts in a prison, he learns that there are three preconditions to be met before being considered violent. The first is to not show their feelings of being ashamed due to it threatening their masculinity. The second is that they can’t counteract shame with their social status, achievements, friends and family. The last is not to feel love, guilt, or fear. These preconditions make Gilligan more understanding of the inmates and their lives.

The three degrees of violence I chose are physical violence, verbal violence, and prejudice. All of the types of violence I chose can be very hurtful, whether it hurts someone physically or emotionally. Violence is present everywhere. We see it on the news, we see it in person, we hear about it, and it’s overall all around us. Violence has always happened no matter when or where you are.

suicides across the nation. It can be thought as a social evil which is prevalent all over the world.

Violence is not the answer for resolving your problems. Violence can be saved in abounding ways, but they can also end in tragic manners. Violence can cause wounds, injuries, and as well deaths. Consequently, many suffer in pain as you carry the burden of having killed someone.

The effects emotional abuse has on a victim will stick with them for their entire life. Even the smallest event can, and usually will, trigger horrific memories that create anxiety and makes it a struggle to interact with others. It causes the victim to withdraw from society because they feel they are not worry of social interaction. When a person is repeatedly told they are stupid, worthless or any other degrading comments, they begin to believe them. Even worse, they start to believe they deserve the comments and think they have to change who they are as a person to fit the expectations of the abuser.

As an undergraduate research assistant in a lab focused on intimate partner violence, recruiting participants always brought a challenge and often resulted in an uncomfortable confrontation. The lab’s main project recruits pregnant women and children to participate in a study on violence during pregnancy, need for community services, and the well-being of women and children. In order to study the effects of intimate partner violence, however, we must continually follow-up with existing participants to schedule yearly interviews as well as reach out to potential participants. Follow-up phone calls and the scheduling of interviews pose a risk and are often challenging to schedule because victims of violence are forced to move and keep information

Over the past week or so, we have witnessed wrongful actions by Americans on other American citizens throughout the country. There has been flag burning and even violence on the Ohio State campus which includes assault. You and I both agree that our country is split into two parts which is devastating and puts a pause on the prosperity of our country. With us working together, I definitely think we both want to use the holistic approach to try to find a solution for this problem. I do understand that everyone has their own ideas and beliefs, but at such a hard time like this, we need to be more respectful and welcoming to everyone's ideas. So, using the holistic approach, I would like for the nation and OSU students to find a middle ground of respect and maturity for everyone no matter who they voted for in the

No individual should ever be subjected to verbal, emotional, psychological or physical abuse on any level. This is why it is so important for victims to seek help that can remove them from a potentially hostile relationship before it gets violent and someone eventually loses their life. There are laws in place in several states that will prosecute abusers and the state will usually pick up the case and only use the victim as a witnesses. These laws have been implemented to save people that have been repeated victims of abuse.

The USA has been experiencing multiple events of violence involving guns and the political fight to oppose further gun distribution, but is the gun really at fault?

The World Health Organization(2014) defines violence as "the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community”A website called Psychology Today(2013) says “There were visible alterations in MRI brain scans after only one week of playing a violent video game.” meaning just one week of video games can seriously affect how you think about life.Psychology Today(2013) also states”In particular, there was a significant decrease in the activation of the frontal portions of the brain and a greater activation of the processing part of the brain(scientifically known as the amygdala)” Meaning the brain is thinking more about violence than it is supposed to be thinking about.

Children in urban areas are affected emotionally, mentally, and physically because of various forms of violence they are subjected to on a daily basis. In the article, “The Impact of Violence on Children,” Joy Osofsky discusses violence relating to children from findings from previous research on this subject. In this article, Osofsky is trying to persuade other scientific professionals, health care physicians, and counselors or psychiatrists of the importance of researching and evaluating prevention and intervention programs to fully understand victims of violence. Osofsky makes it clear that she firmly believes that research is vital in finding better ways to understand violence. She argues that research can clarify the numerous ways that children can be exposed to violence, and how different types of violence can be handled to achieve the best way to help children cope. In this article, Osofsky effectively persuades her audience to invest in research to further expand the knowledge, prevention and intervention programs to help children exposed to violence through her use of pathos, logos, and ethos.

Several years ago, I got back from school track practice later than usual. My arms and legs felt like Jell-o as I struggled to remove my backpack and place it on the low kitchen countertop scattered with mail, newspapers, and magazines. The track coach had subjected us to an intense speed workout. I complained the whole way home: “My feet hurt. My legs hurt. My neck. My back. My neck and my back! I’m suffering!” I dropped my bag and by chance picked up a Newsweek lying on the counter and leafed through it without much interest. Then I saw it, the picture of a small brown0skinned boy with skinny arms, a large head, and eyes that simultaneously accused the world of neglect and begged for forgiveness. “Can you really hate me?” he seemed to ask.

Even though I have not experienced violence directly, violence has affected my life in several ways. How I feel about the violence happening around us is affected by what I see and hear on the news, social media, and on my phone. Recently on the news, ten women, eight children, seven men, and an unborn child were the victims of a violent attack of shooting

The lack of respect is another factor because a lot of people don’t care what they say or making them feel by judging. Foul language can affect what people think or the way they react to others comments.They get in someone’s face because they say words that they can’t control. People hurt others feelings by saying rude words and people don't deserve that.Violence can harm relationships and life choices can change people’s mindsets from television and the internet.Violence can lead to the way people wear clothing or the foul language people use.
