Wake up call
In the year of 2015 in which every human being has equal rights, one of the most important of them is the right to security but in the year of 2015 we still hear about thousands of women that are being battered by their husbands or boyfriends. According to Dr. Neil Jacobson and Dr. John Gottman there are two kinds of men which batter - Cobras and Pit bulls. Both kind of men have some similarities but more differences.
Both types of men grew up in hard childhoods. Cobras had a violent and traumatic past including criminal records and history with alcohol problems. Pit bulls had fathers who battered their mothers. I assume that all the violence that they experienced influenced them in such a way that they don 't have any good behavioral
Having a pit bull as a pet is like having any other pet, most pit bulls are warm, cuddly and very enthusiastic. They tend to provide security, comfort, and studies have shown that pit bulls have an extreme and extensive psychological and therapeutic effects on humans of every age. Yet in over 1,000 US cities and more than a dozen of counties within 36 states it is illegal to own this specific breed and they have a “breed-specific legislation”. Pit bulls were not born vicious or aggressive; they are raised to behave this way by irresponsible people. Although others state that studies have proven that pit bulls carry this aggression in their DNA.
Danger at Your Doorstep Two professors of psychology from the University of Washington, Dr. Neil Jacobson and Dr. John Gottman, spent a decade researching the differences between the kinds of battering husbands. The professors typified the kinds by the severity of the harm they inflict, the ability of women to escape a relationship and the risks the women face if they do leave. Eventually, they divided the battering husbands to two kinds, Pit Bulls and Cobras. In this essay, I will describe the differences and the similarities between the Pit Bulls and the Cobras.
Battering husbands Violence in the family is a wide unfortunate phenomenon that can occur anywhere. When it comes to battered women, the psychologies makes distinction between two types of husbands and characterize each one of them differently. In this assay I will describe the similarities and the differences between those two types; the pit bulls and the cobras. There are not many similarities between the two. The main one that was discovered in the research is that both types of battering husbands are likely to have some kind of traumatic history that effects their current behavior.
Over the years, there were many cases of domestic violence. One of the most famous cases is the case of O.J. Simpson who killed his wife in 1995. There were a lot of studies throughout the years about domestic violence, one of them was published in the book "When Men Batter Women" by Dr. Neil Jacobson and Dr. John Gottman. In this book the scholars divide battering men to two types: cobras and pit bulls. In this essay I will explain the similarities and differences between the two types.
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.

Many people like to jump to the conclusion that Pitbulls and similar dogs, are naturally mean, but in reality they make the best family pets if treated
The similarities between "cobras" and "pitbulls" are firstly that they are abusing their wives both physically and mentally. In addition, the two types most likely had a traumatic and violent childhood. The differences between the battering husbands are that the "pitbulls" are acting out of emotional dependence and a fear of abandonment while the "cobras"s violence grows out of a pathological need to have their way, to be the boss. In addition, when the pitbulls get angry they become violent and tend to lose control, the cobras on the other hand are more calm and controlled but they are more violent toward their wives.
