Spousal Vs Domestic Violence

According to the Resource Theory, “males that do not have high-paying jobs often resort to violence more often as a way of controlling the spouse” (Wallace and Roberson, pg. 19). In Mitchell’s case, the fact that he did not hold a job shows that he was more likely to abuse his wife as a way to be in control. Forcing his wife to prostitute also put the Patriarchy Theory into play. Mitchell forcing Marica to prostitute on the streets shows that he was being possessive of her and tried to dominate the relationship. The Patriarchy Theory

Identify a way in which Cisneros' book addresses a specific societal problem. Use evidence from at least one vignette to describe a social commentary that is made about a particular problem? Sandra Cisneros brings up many social problems such as poverty, Domestic violence, sexual assault and racism. Sexual assault is social problem, because it is a form of assault and it is still a problem that both Men and Women face today. Also, sally told Esperanza that Sally’s dad was going crazy and forgot he was Sally’s father between the buckle and the belt.

In addition to these individuals, racist, sexist and homophobic individuals also have this mindset, which causes the need for groups like Black Lives Matter and Feminist groups. Like Gatsby, the members of the KKK and other discriminatory individuals still live in the past and forget that everybody else is living in the present. To add to this, in Hollywood, many entertainment personalities are coming front to admit that they have been raped. They share that in their experiences many influential men rape women and abuse their power. This shows the theme of abusing power like Daisy does as she kills Myrtle without holding responsibility since she is of “class”.

During the war, violence against women and children was the cornerstone of the Rebel United Force’s (RUF) plots. However, violence against women and children became an issue on both sides of the fight. Even opposers of the RUF used violence against women as a strategic tactic; most women who entered the war did so because they were abducted. Many women who fought with the RUF acted as captive “wives” of soldiers and had jobs handing out weapons, food, and valuables stolen from villages.

Throughout the story one can clearly see the breakdowns in most marriages and relationships. The Marriages had a lot of betrayal and issues, and many people were taken advantage of. Many passages in The Great Gatsby explains how relationships weren't taken seriously during this time. Fights were common because people in The Great Gatsby weren't necessarily in a relationship where they liked the person that they were with, they were in the relationship for the money.

This shift, exemplified through the “movement” or manipulation of Pentheus and Augue’s gender, renders the breaking of such boundaries. Despite the story’s focus on the conflict between Dionysus and Pentheus, the fundamental meaning lies within the characteristics and actions Pentheus, king of Thebes and his mother Augue, a maenad. Each in their own unique way symbolize the inequality between men and women. Pentheus symbolizes male dominance and control over women through his power as king. His frustration and attempt to regain power over the women in the wild represents patriarchal society’s disapproval and attempt to stop women from gaining proper rights and restructuring the control of power.

Ideas of possessiveness and jealousy emanate from the biological development of aggression through the ages. Men are more prone to killing from the aggression that is spoken of, observed and inherited. The chance of a women killing is scarce because they are less viciously aggressive people therefore they will only kill in an act of self-defence or self-nurturing. It finds similarities in the ideal of the hunter and the gatherer, the man will discard and the female will preserve. As Keetley (2008) refers ‘And it was anger, not jealousy, nor possessiveness which routinely appeared as the predominant cause of troubled and even violent relations between husbands and wives’.

The reason of this assault is because Macbeth had already been brain washed and was greedy and selfish and didn’t want neither one of them to be king. Macbeth was smart enough to hire some convicted murderers to do the job for him. All these murders create conflict and shows how violence has shift around how things are and how the characters act and show their emotions. In conclusion there are many more violent acts throughout the story of Macbeth that can be proved and the way that it made many changes and shifts in the characters.

The impulsive, spur the moment and unpredictable acts of enraged which often consider as resulting of violent crime. For example, if brutally assaults in kills operating on impulse and slashing out at victim actually without much consideration or planned strategy. Indirectly, the statement of gun control has been reinforcement and support.

It is the abuse of power from the abuser based on controlling behaviors towards their partners. In the UK, the abuse can be emotional, financial, sexual, physical or psychological. Normally, domestic abuse does escalates over time , and their victims may experience different types of abuse from the same person. Physical abuse is the most visible form of domestic abuse, what the abuser wants to do is to intimidate and cause fear. These assaults often start small, a shove or grabbing your wrist, but over time it will become worst.

Domestic violence is a fast growing worldwide phenomenon which expresses through physical and psychological abuse of the victim by the violent side. As part of it, there are men who abuse their women in different ways, who can be categorized as "Pit-bulls" or "Cobras" by different features. In this essay I will present differences and similarities between the two types of abusive men. On the one hand, "Cobras" and "Pit-bulls" are very alike when it comes to decision making, because they have both chosen a violent pattern of aggression and abuse in order to deal with marriage or couple conflicts instead of using other ways such as: using more verbal communication with their women, getting professional help from a marriage/couple counselor or putting more time and effort into working marriage/couple problems out in a creative way. But, the two types make a full aware choice of turning to violence and abuse as a solution to problems, they do have different ways of expressing it, but the decision to turn to violence remains the same.

When the word “domestic abuse” is put forward, people may think it is far from their lives. However, it happens around each individual and it is closer than they think. Domestic abuse often escalates from threats and verbal abuse to violence. And while physical injury may be the most obvious danger, the emotional and psychological consequences of domestic abuse are also severe. (Smith and Segal 2)

Some people have their lives all mapped out and traumatic events are not calculated into this equation. Sudden traumatic events can cause plans to change. No one plans to lose a loved one, experience a volcano eruption, be a victim of domestic violence, witness an accident, or have cancer. Trauma is someone has witnessed or experienced a terribly frightening or a life threatening event or situation. Natural disasters, rape and sexual assault, torture, domestic violence, or mass personal violence are forms of trauma an individual can experience.

In chapter 11, Ending Violence discusses how the perpetuation of violence among men, women and children is often viewed as a natural part of the domestic roles in a family. This chapter was of great interest to me because I have always questioned why violence occurs. I like the concept that hooks brought to the subject of patriarchal violence, that is that many times women are perpetrators of violence just as equally as male. Many women choose to discipline their children with physical or psychological violence. They believe that if they can have control of what one individual does it gives them the power to feel superior.
