.... why it might occur and prof from other sources. Most important a survey given out to Curry college students and its results will be included. I choose this topic to educate students on the violence in dating relationships. Literary review Partner violence is typically defined as an act carried out with the intention of causing physical or mental pain to another person. Partner abuse is not only important as a phenomenon in itself but also because it precedes marital violence and thus may provide a link in transmission of violence. Here are some theories that may provide some reasons how partner abuse occurs and the prof that it is a problem on college campuses. On ....

.... it is right because it is tradition. Having a sense of tradition is a very strong force that can influence lots of the things we do within a society. It can keep us from becoming our own individuals and acting on our own. This village is so caught up in tradition that not only do they continue to have the lottery, but they never question it and believe that it is the only way to do things. Any other town that decides it is wrong and stops doing it is considered to be run by stupid youngsters who don’t understand the importance of tradition. The people in this village are so scared of change that they will keep allowing a human sacrifice every year for the benefit ....

.... is far different than it was in previous decades. Now to be a feminist, you must believe abortion is a woman's basic right, preferential treatment policies such as Affirmative Action are just because ''they correct past discrimination against women and minorities,'' forgetting the tool that is fighting the past discrimination is discrimination in itself, women continue to be oppressed in America by white males, and other laws and policies that give women more rights than other groups are fair due to women's past oppression. If you even disagree with only one of these issues, you're considered part of the right-wing backlash against the women's movement. Feminists that disa ....

.... breakdown and sometimes death. The children develop mistrust and will have problems in their future relationships. Also sexual abuse makes sexual abusers. The Child Abuse Help Book says “82% of child molesters were molested when they were children.” If you think it isn't a big problem and it won't affect you or someone you love then you're wrong. There are 300,000 to 500,000 reported every year in the united states and experts say “for each case that is reported there are two more that aren't.” Why in Virginia Beach alone in 1993 the social services office counted 6,613 sexual abuse cases reported. The reason only a third of the cases are reported because most of ....

.... who thinks sex discrimination is a thing of the past only has to ask Muriel Kraszewski or Ann Hopkings to learn differently. Muriel Kraszewski worked for State Farm Insurance Company for twelve years and was the leading candidate for an important promotion. She was denied the promotion because, her employers said, she had no college degree and was too much under the control of her husband. Kraszewski sued the company and won her case, after a nine year battle, in late January 1988. She was given what may be the largest sex-bias award in history: up to two hundreds of millions for 1,113 other female State Farm employees with similar complaints, and $433,00 ....

.... to the family than having a daughter. Being born a girl in China was a very unhealthy thing since female infanticide was very common, especially among the lower classes. Not only was a female child an expense to raise, but later she needed a dowry to marry, and her most productive years were devoted to her husband's family and not her own. Therefore, some parent's attitude to children is such that when they bear a son they congratulate each other, but when they bear a daughter they kill her. Both children come from the parent's love, but they congratulate each other when it is a boy and kill it if it is a girl because they are considering their later convenience and ca ....

.... lives. The Stoics and Epicureans put an individuals personal life the highest priority, above even social or political considerations. Within the moral core there are three main ideas. An individual has certain personal liberties that guarantee protection from the government, and that everyone has the right to live under a form of law with known procedures, that corresponds to everyone, including the people in the high offices or positions. This also pertains to a person’s right to think, talk, and worship in any way that they feel they need to without depriving other people of their rights. Also within the moral core exists a persons civil liberties. These are a per ....

.... the foundation for the building of future friendships. Upon reaching the teenage years, acceptance by friends and peers gains increasing importance. For a girl, a best friend is one in whom she can confide and receive advice in a variety of areas. Girls cry on each other’s shoulders about topics ranging from boys to having nothing to wear. Being more emotional and constantly needing advice, a girl’s relationship with her best friend is one of vital importance to her. It is a known fact that women live longer and deal with stress better due to talking about their problems rather than acting impulsively like men. Bonds with a girl’s confidant are very strong and ....
