Violence: The Role Of Domestic Violence In The Media

Professional sports have been in the news for domestic violence for a really long time. Some that may come to your mind could be Ray Rice, Warren Moon, Greg Hardy, and Jose Reyes. Yes, three of these four players are in the National Football League (NFL), but that does not mean that only football players are the ones who have been doing this. The most recent one is Jose Reyes who plays in Major League Baseball (MLB). That is really ones opinion, but some don’t have anything but I slap on the wrist. Commissioners around these leagues usually suspend the player for a couple games until all of the details and videos come out. Ray Rice was suspended two games until they saw evidence then he was suspended for the whole year. Some wanted him banned

Regarding the Dewan Smith-Williams case they’re goal to me is to protect the brand and not to protect the husband from himself and his high risk behavior to his wife and family because they didn’t want her to go to the police and keep it silent. I think Mrs. Williams made the right call to come forth and let it be known that spouses and/or partners are being treated unfair and something needs to be done. In my opinion, maybe if fans, anti-violence groups and women’s rights organizations get together and organize a plan that could force the owners to enact stronger and lasting reforms to improve the NFL actions and response to domestic abuse. They should make some amendments to the personal conduct policy. This topic relates to the discussion on human behavior because we want to know what causes the domestic abuse from the spouse especially if the abuser is in the NFL, a super star, and fame is growing and so forth. Find out what area of treatment and theory practice could be used to help the

Domestic violence is one of the most common crime among male athletes. The statistics are staggering. Ray Rice, Greg Hardy, Ray McDonald – three standout NFL players who have been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons over the last 12 months. The acts of the men, particularly Rice, who was caught on camera punching his then fiancée and now wife, Janay in the elevator of an Atlantic City casino, brought domestic violence and sexual assault into sharp focus, in particular how the NFL handles players who commit such dreadful acts (and yes, we can all agree that the justice systems responsible for these cases failed terribly).

The national football league has stiffened its policy on legal hits. The hit zone has shrunk, while player frustrations have grown. The policy is enacted in an effort to reduce the number of concussions in the game of football. The enforcement of these rules has strayed away from being all about safety. The policy on hits has created a divide among its players and fans alike. The policy of hits being enforced so strictly has had a significant impact on the sport. The sociology of the NFL and the rule itself drive this argument. By stepping on the field as an NFL football player, it is accepted that it is very dangerous. The players make enough money to make the concussions worth it. Profiting from the fine money for these hits has caused the NFL to be enforcing these rules unethically, the rules and the impact they have had on the sport have been detrimental to football.

On February 19th, 2014, a video of Ray Rice, the running back of the Baltimore Ravens, was released in which he was seen dragging the body of his limp fiancee out of a casino elevator. After being arrested and spending a year in a pretrial intervention program, Ray Rice was

Over the past few months, our TV screens and newspapers have been flooded with stories of domestic violence in the world of sports. Most of these domestic violence cases have come from the National Football League's athletes. Over the past couple of months, the NFL has been under fire by its fans in response to domestic violence cases involving stars in the National Football League like Adrian Peterson, Ray Rice, Greg Hardy, and Jonathan Dwyer. Could these assaults all be connected to constant blows to the head? Have they experienced concussion like symptoms without even noticing? This could be entirely true hence three of the names above are running backs and endure the most punishment. All of these cases were brought to public news all within

    Millions of kids watch NFL games. They also follow them outside of playing football. NFL players should remember that children hold these players to a higher standard. For instance, “Janay Rice sat next to her husband during the press conference, though simple assault charges against her were eventually dropped. Footage from the night showed Rice dragging his wife's unconscious body from an elevator” (Craggs). Ray Rice is a popular player in the NFL, with millions of fans. Hearing the news, I found it to be extremely disappointing. Ray Rice had too much to drink that night, and in the elevator he punched his wife, Janay, in the face multiple times and knocked her out. The NFL fined Ray Rice millions of dollars, he lost his job and endorsements. Other than losing money, he lost his fan base, including kids who looked up to him as an amazing running back.

Constantly, players from the NFL have been causing problems off of the football field. For example, Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice and Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson been causing very “domestic violence”. “Their behavior, and that of a handful of other NFL stars, has been outrageous.” The NFL can urge its several thousand players to behave morally. When players are on the field, they act aggressively so this can reflect their behavior once they are finished with the game. “The NFL can urge its several thousand players to behave morally. However, it cannot watch them 24 hours a day without seriously violating their privacy and civil liberties.” People believe that they deserve punishments that fit their crimes. Overall, the National Football players should be punished for what they have

Please Don’t, Hit Me Baby One More Time! As an avid sports fan I have been highly troubled by the recent headlines to plague the NFL in recent months. It seems as if every week a new player is being accused of domestic violence. In the past these accusations have seemingly

Finally, real heroes in today’s society in media are violent criminals, pimps who have plenty of “sexy” ladies dancing by their side. This is really noticeable in rap music videos and other media sources in general. The music industry makes men who are totally built with six-pack abs as gods and shows women are their biggest fans. You’re also only considered a “valuable” woman by these built men if you have big breasts, a big butt and a tiny waist. This idea is supported by Byron Hurt who states that women always fall in love with men who are physically fit which further forces many young men to adopt a tough guy appearance. The consequence to this trend is the increase in domestic violence where 5.3 million cases of domestic violence are reported

Over the years domestic violence has become a trend of the media, nowadays you see women being disrespected and beaten on in tv shows. The reason why is because this gives the watcher a feeling of suspense or shock. Although, this may seem very innocent since it is a fictional show; many people take offense to the plots and tales of today’s “reality” and “soap operas” because these ideas come from actual events that have happened in real life. For example, in April 2003 a woman named Amanda Berry was kidnapped with two other women and were held captive while being brutally beaten and raped. They escaped after ten years and went to court to put their kidnapper to prison, he was sentenced to 1,000 years in prison. This story soon became

 Why didn’t she leave? Why did she marry him? She must have done something to provoke him. She chose to have kids with him and to stay with him. These are the resounding questions and statements that one hears when discussing domestic violence. When video broke of NFL player Ray

The topic of sexual violence in relation to the media is very complex. There are many factors which can influence sexual violence, thus, it is very difficult to test the relation between sexual violence and the media. Within the media, violence, more specifically sexual violence is portrayed very often. This would be expected to increase the amount of sexual violence amongst the viewers. Therefore, C. J. Ferguson ran an experiment to try to see if there is a correlation between them. He stated how it is extremely common for sexual violence towards females to be insinuated throughout media. Not only is it within pornography, it can also be found in many movies and television shows (Ferguson, 2012). Ferguson believed that this mass amount of sexual violence makes people more prone to acting and having more negative attitudes towards women. Furthermore, he believed that the main influence within the media, is the portrayal of women as being inferior to men. In addition to the violence inflicted on women. Therefore, the reason men develop more negative attributes is because they get desensitized to the belittling of women.

Domestic Violence Domestic violence is an act of abusive behavior inflicted by someone in your household. The film No one would tell (1996) is about an abusive relationship that takes place outside of the home but was most likely influenced by domestic abuse.
