Family Violence And The Family

Women abuse is a problem that plagues society in numerous ways. It is a problem that lacks proper definition in today’s society, and as a result has many misconceptions regarding the subject. It has been a problem that has been going on for centuries and has only recently been discussed as inappropriate and a disgusting act against women. The stereotypical family of a mother, father and children, loving, caring and happy with each other is always depicted on television. Real life relationships and families range from happy and loving to extreme dysfunctional in today’s society. Not every relationship and family experiences the “haven in the heartless world” (Momirov, 2011), many experience more heartless world within the family. This paper will focus on women abuse within the family. The purpose of this paper is to explore women that are victims of domestic abuse and the social structures that create the social problem women will face for the rest of their lives. This paper argues that neoliberal state policies create the social conditions that force abused women to stay in abusive relationships. This paper covers women abuse through three main parts. Part one of this essay will

According to the above literature and the fact on the ground domestic violence physically, psychologically and socially affects women, men and their families. In addition, the abuse usually is an attempt by one partner to exert control through pressure, fear, verbal abuse or threats of violence. Therefore, the family system concepts theory “understanding the significance of the environmental context of the family system is the key to assessing family process and outcomes” Thomlison, 2010, p. 45). The family system “concept 1 theory is the family as a system is greater than the sum of its individual system (Thomlison, 2010, p. 46). In addition, this theory is very helpful on identity the impact of the domestic violence on the family because the issues are related to one another any change in one part will affect the others (Thomlison, 2010, p. 46). According to this concept, a practitioner can clearly visualize children growing up in violent homes do not need to be physically abused to take on violent and delinquent behavior it is enough to witness their mother’s or father’s abuse. For instance, if a practitioner is dealing with a teenager who is struggling lose the ability to feel empathy for others, feel socially isolated, unable to make friends as easily due to social discomfort or confusion over what is acceptable. The practitioner if he uses concept 1 can assist and understand the cause of teenage behavior during intervention if he understands the family as a whole”

Only twenty years ago, domestic violence was seen as a private family matter rather than of public community concern. During the 1960’s and 70’s, second wave feminism and the Battered Women’s Movement highlighted the problem of family violence to the fore, where individuals assisted victims by providing shelter for women and children and taking political action to advocate the hidden societal causation of the violence; gender inequality. The social issue up until this stage had little to none empirical knowledge, theoretical explanations were not exposed and social workers were not effectively trained to assist with the problem. Family violence initially occurs at a micro level within the home, but is a much larger macro issue. Domestic violence

According to stats Canada in 2011 there was nearly 95’000 victims in family violence that is 279 victims for every 100’000 people. Victims of family violence are most often women at 69%. Saskatchewan has the high rate of family violence at 583 victims for every 100’000 people. Murder-suicides are a problem as well in family violence. Between 2001-2011, there was 344 murder-suicides in Canada, of which 77% were family related. There were 52 family related incidents involving youth and children and 47 family involving seniors.

In my opinion, I believe one of the biggest factors that is associated with relational violence is within family factors. Although I believe individual factors play just as big of a part in relational violence, I am going to talk about the family factors today. I have read many stories and met people who grew up in abusive situations, whether it's the parents abusing the children or the parents abusing each other. According to Busby et. al (2008) confirmed in a “study that children who witness violence from their parents perpetuate that violence as children and are more likely to be violent as adults” (as cited by Knox & Schacht, 2013, p. 384). Also, if children were the ones being abused, they are that much more likely to be abusive towards

parents actions and personality is mirrored by their children for example Luke abuses his girlfriend just as same as Luke's dad .Luke's dad abuses luke he uses violence to control his son Luke”I want my money young man tomorrow ,or its you ass” .This negative behaviour is picked up by Luke. Luke is also abusive and violent”you filthy liar”to sara / girlfriend .This shows that Luke is mirroring his dad’s abusive behaviour. Another example is Sara and her mother ,Sara’s mother is abused by her boyfriend and she keeps accepting his violent behaviour”you're lying bitch!”to Marry/Sara’s mother “you okay marry” to Marry “i'll be fine “ to Joe/Sara’s dad “im sorry i upset you” .This shows that Marry/ Sara’s mother is accepting her boyfriend's abuse

As time passes, many advancements in technology and safety are made. But through all the breakthrough and upcoming, a major factor exists in the world: violence. As people progress in these conditions, violence also enhances. Violence exists everywhere one looks and it is impossible to rid people of it. No matter what the human race tries, it will be defeated by this “presence”. Violence is found everywhere, whether on the television, in the form of thought, violent acts or disasters from the local news, or fight scenes from a movie or show on network television. Unfortunately, even a young child could be exposed to violence by watching a simple cartoon. By a young child

As stated, children completely develop and become who they are early in life. Therefore, any major events, or off circumstances can permanently affect their personality. The environment at home is very important in a child’s upbringing. Therefore, if abuse is factored into this environment then negative results can occur. The book Family Violence by Debra Goldentyler focuses on various forms of abuse and its affects. One form of abuse commonly overlooked is verbal abuse. It is easy to lash out on children due to stress or other problems. However, this eventually can result in repetitive episodes of verbal abuse. Since children become so emotionally attached and dependent on their parents at such an early age, any negative thing a parent says

The theory that best connects with the issue of family violence is systems theory. This theory entails that the “family as a system is thought to be best understood through the recognition that family members (as the parts of the system) interact with one another in such a manner that, over time, these interactions become patterned behavior” (Sutphin, McDonough, Schrenkel, 2013) Every family member that is within this family are characterized as subsystems. The main sub-systems are parent-parent, parent-child, and child-child. In most cases, what happens in the parent-parent relationship impacts both the parent-child relationship and the child-child relationship. A type of violence that can occur between the parent and parent relationship

Interesting post! I find your post interesting because I did not consider general system theory as a catch all so to speak in terms domestic violence, which basically says family violence is the result of a broken system, hence fix the system and the family will fall into place. I agree if families keep closed boundaries violence will have a less hurtful impact on a child’s adulthood. We can only display behaviour that we have been exposed to culturally and socially. If an individual is raised in a positive home he/she will not be persuaded by the negative influences on the street. Social learning is a prominent model to use when discussing domestic violence and life’s upbringings

One of the greatest challenges for both law enforcement and social welfare agencies is trying to understand the complexities of family and interpersonal violence. The issue becomes even more challenging in settings where poverty prevails, since it is often the case that agencies try extra vigilantly to address significant criminality in these areas. Anytown's departmental intervention policy on removing children from a home where there are active incidents of abuse is an effort to essentially impose a "zero tolerance" framework that seeks a single answer to these concerns. It is a policy based on social learning theory that assumes that one can easily remove children from parents or guardians who are modeling inappropriate behavior and then force those adults to learn better alternatives. In exchange for doing this, the welfare agencies then agree to return the children to the home setting, which is presumably less likely to be an environment where poor modeling happens.

Women are constantly under the constraint of men who have the strength and power to physically harm women who are much weaker than them. In recent years, complaints have increased in frequency about aggression by men who are not part of the women’s family (Bose and Kim 51). Not only are men hurting women but men who have no absolute relation to a certain woman is hurting her. This clearly shows that men do not take ownership in their wives but they allow other men who to treat her just as poorly as he himself. This violence continues to enforce the large impact men have on women. They can have every right to any women and abuse her. Men see themselves of having this over powering right to hurt anybody including somebody much fragile than themselves. But women because of their small figures and feminine qualities have no thought of doing the same.

Imagine a situation, when the husband returns very tired and upset from work. He is tired because of the difficulties and annoying boss from his work. Also worried because something is wrong with his car and about the bills he has to pay by the end of the month, he understands that everything is on him. When he gets back, he sees that the dinner is not ready yet and also hears from his wife that about children’s low grades and their misbehavior at school, so he’s out of his mood and starts yelling and beating the children. After a few seconds, a woman tries to convince him not to, and falls under his hand as well, resulting in a quarrel of the whole family and tears of a woman. Women abuse is a very broad topic discussed and practiced in today’s society. Violence towards females can happen by a stranger attack, but more often it happens from the people they are close to. Abuse in its very essence is a manifestation of the destructive desire to control and have power over another human being. Male violence against women is a desire to feel complete control over a human being that for ages has been seen as a “weak gender”. Therefore, violence becomes the way of proving that a man really belongs to a male gender and therefore, women have to “knuckle under” him. Abusive man can use different styles starting with a strictly verbal abuse and end with a physical batterer. Today 's both violence and abuse can cause a physical, as well, as emotional types of pain, for different

After deciding on a topic related to family violence that is approved by the instructor you will produce 5-6 page research paper (exclusive of notes) that will address the following:

This causes a major rift in both family relationships and social bonding, as Simpson states it is: ‘problems of employed and demanding women, unemployed and castrated men, and unruly wayward kids who gain control over the household’ (Simpson 106). Thomas J. Scheff expands and explains this lack of social bonding in his article Hypermasculinity and Violence as a Social System. Scheff builds on Marx’s early ideas on alienation, and believes like Marx that ‘(the) most important human “species” need is connection with other human beings’ (02). However, because males are rewarded when they exude aggressive and violent behavior (Klein 345) and also when they remain quiet about their emotions (Scheff 3), they are often unable to expel their emotions in a productive way, which further alienates them, and often leads to lack of self knowledge and what Scheff terms as the silence/violence paradox. This section will discuss the silence violence paradox and shame in each of the novels and how it leads to lack of social bonding and further degradation of the community.
