Domestic abuse is a startling issue in today’s society, and there are many different forms of it. Domestic abuse is defined as “the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another” [1]. There are numerous forms of domestic abuse, including both physical and emotional violence. Many people who are trapped in these toxic relationships often feel helpless and worthless, and may think they have no way to escape their situation. However, with the right guidance and support, they can free themselves and emerge as a stronger person.

The news reporter in the video interviewed the children who witness their mothers getting battered by her boyfriend, or ex – lover. The audio for from the questions asked by the reporter was very troubling to hear about and the things they see and hear. In the video a young girl being interviewed disclosed how she heard her mother’s boyfriend state he was gone to kill her mother first, and then the children. To imagine how the child felt fear for each time the child heard or saw him and when the child did not know where her mother was is very horrific. The specific feeling when a child develops a negative intuition such as when their mother’s life may be in jeopardy, but the fact what if the children are watching is never taken into consideration.

On average,in the United States, twenty people per minute are physically abused by their partner. Which if you make the math, that is more than ten million women and men. In the short story, “ It will look like a Sunset” by Kelly Sundberg, she effectively asserts her targeted audience which consists on couples and mainly young women in their late twenties who are in a relationship. Sundberg supports her assertions by appealing to ethical, emotional, and logical examples as well as using rhetorical strategies. The author's main purpose is to urge the readers to accept life is complicated and anyone who faces a similar situation should seek help because you may not be in the right state of mind to make the right decision.

In the video that was assigned to us a woman by the name Tonier “Neen” Cain discussed her life story and the struggles she went through. She was born into a broken family with a mother that was an alcoholic and brutally beat her growing up. She was arrested 83 times and had 66 criminal convictions relating to her addiction. She got pregnant in 2004, and entered into a trauma treatment program. This program began to transform her life and the way she thought about herself. One of the main factors that I felt made her to the lifestyle she picked was the relationship she had with her mother. The mother wanted very little with her and her sense of self worth was greatly harmed because of this occurrence. She would seek to find her mother’s affection

As I listen, tears stream down my face. In a blur, I am throwing a tantrum reminiscent of a three-year-old’s. This man works in Hunters elementary school afterschool program. Not only had he been abused, the face of his abuser tormented him

Behind closed doors, anything is feasible. Anything can easily been hidden from the outside eye. With that being said, humans tend to have a natural instinct to try and only regard the positive side. There’s so many positive thoughts that are associated with what happens in confinements of a house such as falling in love, or growing a family but, in actuality, on average, nearly twenty people per minute are abused by an intimate partner in the united states.

Every now and then there will be a movie released that draws every ones attention, of those viewers some will be intrigued by the actors that play the main roles while others by the story/message that captivates how the audience feels. Sleeping with the Enemy proves to be a movie that has grabbed the attention of its viewers. Viewers weren’t struck by a touching and heart-warming story of romance but one of a young woman trapped in the grasp of a desperate and hopeless relationship, and her drive to finds a way out, in an attempt to reclaim the life she once had. Having nothing to lose and potentially everything to gain after losing; her self esteem,beliefs in love and, ultimately her life. Laura the main character has been married to her husband Martin for 3 years and 1 month when she finally escaped a marriage that is less than perfect. Although it may look to be perfect from the outside, the inside is a far cry from what those around see. This is the case in many relationship not just the ones on the movie screen. Intimate partner abuse and relationship violence is prevalent in many relationship and a large amount of person(s) will experience “ 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have been victims of [some form of] physical violence by an intimate partner within their lifetime”.

The comment tends to still popularize ideas of staying silent about abuse since it should not be anyone else’s business but between the parties that it occurred between. Silence about abuse is what has assisted its perpetuation. A guest on another Fox show seemed to infer in a victim blaming fashion that Janay Rice had provoked Ray Rice and refused to acknowledge gender in the equation even when it was brought up that women are the ones who have a higher prevalence of abuse against them over males (Marcotte, 2014). Reasons Janay Rice has for staying are not simple and cannot be easily placed into a box and labeled there can be many layers of psychological reasons why she stayed and none can be easily explained. Intimate partner violence comprising every layer of someone’s life since the person they are with is part of all of those layers as a result there is not an easy explanation for reasons why woman stay and it is abhorrent to blame the victim when looking at the situation from outside of the

Domestic violence affects a large amount of relationships in the United States each year. As the times have changed, abuse has become less accepted as a normal occurrence, and society has begun working together to provide awareness towards violence in intimate partner relationships. “Problems of family violence are potentially the most destructive in our society” (Kurland 23). Domestic violence is a problem that begins in the home, and spreads to affect the world around it. Violence is present in relationships of all demographics, be it race, sexual orientation, or social class. No one is entirely safe from experiencing abuse, but if society is taught to recognize the signs it can save a life or even prevent abuse from happening.

Females’ ages 18 to 24 and 25 to 34 generally experienced the highest rates of intimate partner violence (“Statistics”). People so young are being brought into horrible situations that can cause emotional, mental and physical harm that has long lasting effects on them. The ad “It Rarely Stops” by The National Domestic Hotline was posted on YouTube in September 2015. In this ad, a young women is gazing into her bathroom mirror (the camera) with a sorrowful look on her face. She is covered in bruised and blood. She tries to mask her scars, however, it is in vain because the physical trauma continually comes back. In the end, a sound is heard behind the close door and she twist her head back quickly in fear. “It Rarely Stops” identifies that victims of domestic abuse can cause psychological disorders such as depression and abusive tendencies in an intimate relationship will continue to reoccur as time goes on.

After specific examination, I found that a rather catchy pop song, in fact, had a deeper and darker theme to it because of the issues referenced within. Clear up until now, I never clearly understood what was happening in the catchy pop song, “I Love the Way You Lie” by Eminem and Rihanna. I knew nothing of the toxic and abusive relationship told in the song. To me “Love the Way You Lie” was a simple pop song with: a catchy chorus, repetitive beat, and an unintelligible rap part that seemed to slur together. The song had no meaning, there was nothing that stuck out to me. Though after thorough examination, I found that my current opinions on the song were false. In truth, this song had a deep and darker meaning to it. During the song, there

The issue focused on is Domestic Violence; a common yet silent form of battering, harassment , and sexual assault. As explained by Annie, she meets her husband when she was 16 years old. He was five years older than her. Expeditiously they developed a relationship, and she became pregnant. That’s when the abuse began, he would hit her, throw her into walls and leave her helpless in a puddle of her own blood. She was trapped in a world of fear, regret, and slowly began to feel as if all this was her fault. She would scream and shout for help, to call the police. Neighbors would turn away, ignore the issue. Her own family ignored the signs, the cries for help. After a while the hitting and verbal abuse suddenly became a part of her life, she felt as if it was always something she did wrong and accepted it. Unquestionably this is just small insight of Annie’s domestic relationship. The hidden reality that the underlying commonality at the back of all varieties of abusive behaviors related to domestic violence is the reason to gain manage and strength over one 's partner thru patterns of bodily, sexual or mental abuse. According to “Domestic Violence Statistics, a woman in the United States is being beaten and assaulted every nine seconds. Based on the findings of domestic violence studies, at least one in every three women around the world have been beaten, coerced into sexual activity or otherwise abused during her lifetime. It is reported that men who as children witnessed
