Strength doesn't mean violence. In 1998, Michigan State Police reported more than 5,000 victims of domestic violence in Oakland County up until now in 2011. Domestic Violence is a serious problem. It either occurs because poverty, lack of education, alcohol abuse, and men thinking have the right to discipline their partners.
In Report: 3 Weekend Deaths Due To Family Violence posted: Monday, February 14,2011 by Stephanie Serna, KSAT 12 News Reporter says, "On Friday, a woman was shot and killed in front of her home on Lost Arrow Street. Police said the woman's ex-boyfriend, Nicholas Maldonado, 25, spent three hours in his car waiting outside for her before he ambushed her. A room mate close to the woman said he would see bruises on her body and that she would cover them with makeup." The community needs to step it up when it comes to prevention by calling police to report and incident or talking to the victim.
In another article titled Baby found by dead mom's side occurred: May 5,2011 posted: May 20,2011 SAST says, "An 11-month-old baby girl was found holding her dead mother's hand, 10 hours after the child's father allegedly beat her to death. In the first of two fatal attacks on women in the Johannesburg area this week- allegedly by their jealous former lovers - Liesel Badenhorst's head was smashed against the rim of her bath, cracking it. Her brother in law, Pieter Bester, found her little daughter at 5am on Saturday Morning, she did not cry. The baby was just standing there, clutching her mother's hand. The room and child's clothes were covered in blood."
If some men looses his job and woman don't, men would loose his control in the home, causing them to start being violent towards their partner either because of stress or jealousy but certainly that isn't a excuse to committ domestic violence. A men said that men meet a woman and spend a fortune on her and by the time starts working she starts telling you how pathetic they are and she starts showing him they are nothing and by that time you are up to your neck in debts she caused and she's up and leave, men starts hitting on girlfriend or wife because of that and forces them to stay and that's when domestic violence starts but how much a men do for a woman, how much money they spend on her, if the love is over is over, men just needs to pack up and go, what gives them the right to take her life and bear in mind that all you did for her was out of love so if she failed to return your love then maybe it wasn't meant to be. Theirs no justification of such act.
A crime is a crime regardless. People we need to do something about it. People should pay attention to this subject, it's very important because is about life. We can be in that situation as well and people should be aware of how sad this is. We need to help people we know that are in that situation.
WoW! I found this very informative. I didn't realize how many victims of domestic violence there are. I really like how well this was written :)
ReplyDeleteGreat first blog Elizama! I agree with Caveman, it is extremely well-written. You fluctuate between opinion and fact seamlessly, and this make this blog that much more strong and credible. I think the point you made of how work situations is an EXTREMELY important one: It shows how the violence that begins as being vertical (from the top down) becomes horizontal (to the person by your side.) This shows how one tries to project the image of power while, in reality, feeling powerless. Great analysis and critical thinking!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI meant to say *how work situations effect power dynamics within relationships* sorry for the typo!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you wrote your blog. Just make sure you fix a couple of spelling errors here and there. Try to fix your second last paragraph because it has one big sentence that has a lot of commas. Just separate it into different sentences. Overall, great blog Eli!=)
