Thesis Statement Outline

The journey that Richard and Mildred Loving took is important for history and for the future of civil rights in the United States. I recently watched the documentary The Loving Story and enjoyed the footage, pictures, and interviews of everyone involved in the Loving v. Virginia case. The documentary addressed the issue of interracial marriage in Virginia in 1967.

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.

Many women and men seek intimate relationships in order to fill their emotional needs of security, safety and love. Their journey starts off with their loved ones spoiling them with flattering gifts and emotional words. The love they feel is so wonderful and deep that they believe that nothing can come between them. They are so happy and convinced that they will live happily ever after with the one they love. Unfortunately, the fairytale they have dreamt about was only temporary and soon comes to an end. The love story they have ones longed for turns into a horrible nightmare. The emotional words they were once spoiled with turn into howling screams and name-calling. The flattering gifts turn into physical abuse. This relationship is referred to as domestic violence or intimate partner violence. This happens when a partner or significant other declares power, authority and control over the other partner. To maintain this authority and control, the abusive partner uses emotional, physical or sexual abuse over his victim (Alters 27). Victims will desperately look for an exit out of this relationship, but only to be blocked by numerous walls of the despair, fear and misery. Many people are convinced that victims have the option of leaving, but they are too weak and they choose not to. What many people don 't know is, victims of domestic violence have many reasons preventing them from leaving their abusers. In most cases the outcomes of leaving are

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

]Deputy district attorney Keith Watanabe started his presentation describing domestic violence from his perspective. He began by giving the example of a case of jealousy and the knife attack by the 40-year-old virgin actor Shelley Malil. Shelley Malil believed his girlfriend was cheating on him so in retaliation he stabbed her 23 times. The importance of this case was the brutality that it inhabited and the recent news that the actor was up for parole but struck down by governor Jerry Brown. After the example of a high-profile case he prosecuted, he gave some definitions of what domestic violence involves and the frustration of recanting victims. He described that victims out of multiple reasons involving the close relationship that they have

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

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.

After years of constant abuse and violence, a woman who has finally reached a breaking point can feel relief in

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

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. (PROPER CITATION: https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/nisvs_report2010-a.pdf) The music video for “Without The Lights” by Elliot Moss recognizes the terrifying statistics surrounding domestic abuse and shines an emotional light on the subject.

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.

Behind closed doors, anything is feasible.

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

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”.
