A5005 Family Violence Prevention | Framework for Examining Violence

How Does the Topic Connect Me

What I found in this article is that some people fail to see that violence can develop from a very early age based on the environment and the people. An example being that if a babysitter or a parent were to listen to music that contains violent lyrics or even profanity, there is a high possibility that the child would copy it (Kennedy, Bybee & Greeson, 2014). Even when parents argue in front of their children, from them the child can copy their behaviors or the language they use. There is a reason why the sensor broad has brought a measure towards television or film towards children that is called Parental Guidance or PG. I found that the factors related to racial or sexual content effects children if they are not educated properly. These elements can also make the child believe that stereotyping or forced sexual advances are a normal behaviour. The actions at this stage are crucial for the child as he or she understands what kind of lessons needs to be known. Violence is an intriguing factor as it can be determined from an early age and most of the time it is based on the factors that has triggered or influenced it in the first place.

Main Ideas in the Book

By seeking the main considerations regarding violence, the extract focuses on three main discussions. These ideas are given in details about how these factors contribute to violence.

Details

First being the political factors that would cause violence economically. This does not affect everyone in the same way. This is because violence differs from the ones in different social conditions. This is due to the fact women and men of different culture experience different forms and types of violence (Blais, Solodukhin & Forth, 2014). The second factor follows the example of scholars that focuses on the fact that violence is not always an event rather it is the outcome. This process is embedded on those who experience it every day. The final method observes the outcome as that shows that violence is not recognized by the reports of society, this is not reflected in either its origin or the effects in causes (Alaggia et al., 2015). The document further explains the observations and uses the theoretical research and framework to examine these cases of violence.

Connections to Reading Lectures

There have been many reading lectures regarding the topic of violence over the years. There are documents related to war, domestic violence, social, political and many more. The connection given in this article is related to the violence politically and other means as well.

Summary

Violence is the outcome of war that is measured beyond that of physical pain and injury. This would also indicate the violence women go through. People endure multiple spheres of life by the medium of the reality of violence (Eriksson & Mazerolle, 2015). The document explains the structure individually, structurally, symbolically and even through the form that can be visible to anyone. There are many factors in the context that can identify violence as a social problem as well. Violence at an interpersonal level originates from the broader structure that would seek analytic distance from one person to another. The approach also highlights the factors that have systematic patterns that are neither natural nor necessary. The context further explains that by establishing a link within the violence at interpersonal level with that factor that originates in a broader aspect and structure.
