Karen L. Bune recently wrote about domestic violence. I include an excerpt:
Domestic violence is a pervasive problem in all sectors of society–a syndrome that exhibits no bias in any regard and is not affected by race or economic class. Historically, domestic violence was viewed solely as males battering females, but this is no longer an exclusive distinction. Today, numerous males are victims of domestic violence. They are often reluctant, however, to admit their victimization due to the fact they feel ashamed, embarrassed, and fear ridicule if they reveal it. Though, today, there is greater awareness on the issue of domestic violence and there have been enhanced efforts to combat its scourge on society, there still remains a lot to be done. In current times, a significant degree of ignorance still prevails on the subject.
I recommend reading the full article, because she takes an in depth look into domestic violence and victim psychology.
What do you think?
