...Stop the violence, start the diet It is known throughout history, it has commonly been understood that nature provides the best medicine for all animals of this planet. Humans are no exception; so how does a human get the needed nutrients to maintain a healthy body? The answer is through its constant fuel supply. When the body has everything it needs, it runs efficiently and with the story, it shows that these statements are true. When a proper diet comes into play, you can have a noticeable switch when it comes to emotions. People, who have what they need, show that there is something about them that just gives off a glow. This is interesting for the fact that if we were to do something such as change our diet and how we get our food, could we stop things such as drug abuse, or PTSD. The most interesting thing about this whole story was the fact there is facts supporting change; if we change our diets we can change who we are. Everyone may not want to change but there is an outlet for those who do. We can make our own food and make our fuel to maximize our machines we call bodies. First off, this so called glow that people get is actually a good indication that your skin is healthy. I had found this interesting in the story that they focus on mainly mental health. This is factual that mental health is drastically important when you’re speaking on the behalf of your wellbeing; when you, speak about the physical part of your body, it is usually an indication of that individual’s...

...Help stop the Violence Elizabeth Harrington ENG 102 January 26, 2014 Ray Stone Help Stop the Violence Would you know if your neighbor is the victim of an abusive relationship? There are many women and also men who are being abused by their significant other all across the world. There are ways that we as people can be more aware of those around us being abused and many ways that we can join together to help end this vicious cycle. According to the Joyful Heart Foundation “domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behavior characterized by the intent to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner or other family members.” Older definitions, such as the one that Webster Dictionary gives from 1976, are a bit different from up to date definitions because it does not include a reference to intimate relationships. Though domestic violence and spousal abuse are very similar, spousal abuse us against an intimate partner or spouse. There are different types of spousal abuse. Physical abuse is when one spouse or intimate partner hits, pushes, chokes or physically beats the other spouse. Physical abuse usually starts with a little abuse at a time, with small physical contact like a little shoving or slapping. Sometimes it can escalate very quickly and sometimes it takes months or years to get to an almost deadly point (Joyful Heart Foundation, 2013). Another type of spousal abuse is mental abuse. Mental abuse occurs when one spouse belittles, screams at, or verbally...

The people affected are sometimes family, friends, neighbors, people passing by but there is always someone affected. In the case of the violence in Africa shown by the two texts “Armed and Under Siege” by Jeffrey Gettleman and “The Charge: Genocide” by Lydia Polgreen it has caused the whole world problems. Two reasons that this is true is that it has caused international tension and global organizations have tried to combat the violence. Although people may still argue that the violence in Africa has not caused the world problems and only caused Africa problems. Nevertheless the violence in...

...Gun violence over the past few years has risen to become a major role in the many issues of the United States. There has been a lot of focus on how to regulate the use of guns and how to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and people who may have some type of mental problem. What a lot of people don’t pay attention to though is the impact that gun violence has on the victims and those affected by the misuse of weapons. Many people are killed in incidents that contain gun violence like the school shootings and killings of children at places like Sandy Hook, and even more public places like the Aurora Movie Theater where lives are taken from innocent people. The lives of the people killed in these settings are publicly taken into account,...

...Domestic Violence 1 Domestic Violence How do we survive? Kelly Cross ENGL135_ Advanced Composition Instructor: Michael Doloski February 23, 2011 Domestic Violence 2 I think that we need to learn what domestic violence is and figure out a way to stop this horrible crime. Domestic violence is the intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and or other abusive acts that is perpetrated by one intimate partner to another. For centuries, domestic violence has been a problem in the homes of thousands of people, and has reached from one nation to another, it does not matter what your race or even social class. At one time domestic abuse was seen as being acceptable and just in the past twenty-five years, they have brought this behavior out into the open and actually see it as being a problem, often times this behavior has been over looked and even ignored. How can we help stop this crime if we chose not to notice that the people we know and often times even love are being hurt inside their own homes. This is something that thousands if not millions people can relate to, as statistics show that one in four women report having to live in a situation of domestic violence. I know what its’ like to live in this kind of situation, and the fear that you live in on a daily basis is horrible. When I lived in the abuse, I felt as though it was something that I deserved. In the back of my mind, I thought that this was the only way that anyone...

...Domestic Violence and The Relationship with Human Rights in Surabaya Evangeline Josephine Muljono - 34412016 Abstract This paper shows about domestic violence that happens in Surabaya and the relationship with human rights of Surabaya citizens. This paper shows that domestic violence violates Pancasila and its principles because it violates human rights of people in Surabaya. And as part of Indonesia, we must take action about it. There will also be some solutions that are offered to decrease the number of domestic violence in Surabaya. Background Humans are social beings. Every human needs other people to carry out his/her life. This means that every human must gather and work together to build a better life and the key point of working together is having the same goal. Building a team, communities, and organizations are some of the way to achieve the same goal that people have. But besides that, the simplest way to achieve a goal that people have in common is building a family. Family is very important because it is the basic need of human being. Family is a place to build a character of a person. Family is a place to learn how to respect and protect each other. And family will only work out only when the members work together and have a positive relationship to each other. Nowadays, in Surabaya, the meaning of building a good family has been fading. Every year, the number of divorce in Surabaya is getting bigger and bigger. And one of the causes of that is violence...

...In today's society, people with different family backgrounds are facing various problems. Those problems could be either outside or inside of the home, that causes domestic violence. Women are especially the victim of the domestic violence. Most of the women who experience domestic violence are reluctant to express their voice because they are too afraid of the society. In most part of the world, women are affected by domestic violence. In the U.S., African American females experience intimate partner violence at a rate 35% higher than that of white females, and about 2.5 times the rate of women of other races ( Roberta Lee). Most of the women try to make an excuse for domestic violence because they are afraid of stereotype or the society....

...OUTLINE Specific Purpose: To inform the community that we the people should start a charity to help fundraise and build the community so that it can become a well structured environment for the kids. Also in this process it should help the communities stop what we call “violence”. We will name this “Stop the Violence Movement”. I. First I will begin and break down the term “Violence” and where did the “Stop the Violence Movement come from”. This will give the people a little insight and some background of how Violence got to be so bad that African-American men took charge and stood up for the community so that the poor communities could become better places to live. II. Furthermore as we continue to the stop the violence trait we understand that if the parents and children see that we are trying to do the community good, they will see that and want to join in and volunteer and the way we work we could “BUILD AN EMPIRE”. All we need is a little support and hard workers to campaign and we could change that way things are in the neighborhoods. III. On the next topic we will begin to see that advertisement has a lot to do with what how the kids go about their ways of life. We should advertise the good instead of advertising the bad. Seems like when we turn on the news we see nothing but bad things and that is caused because no one steps up and takes charge in anything and it’s time to make a stand and stand up for the community. The Transition: I will teach how...

...Women United to Stop Domestic Violence Cynthia A. Jones Sharmin S. Lawrence Stacy L. Williams Dr. Lynn W. Clemons, Instructor Mercer University February 25, 2014 Executive Summary Domestic violence has become an epidemic in the United States. One in every four women experience domestic violence during their lifetime, 2.3million each year (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services). Domestic violence usually occurs by a husband, boyfriend, live in partner or family member. It also is the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 15 to 44 ( ). Since the majority of the domestic violence incidents are not documented it is difficult to suggest how much violence occurs. The Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) provides the primary federal funding dedicated to the support of sheltering and provided services for victims of domestic violence ( ). Women United to Stop Domestic Violence (WUSDV) is a nonprofit organization that was created for women in middle Georgia to give them “hope” and security.

...there is so much violence caused by children, in society today. Is there a high percentage of youth violence that is caused by media in your area? Do you know anyone that has been affected by this? This is something that is becoming more of a problem every day. It has already been determined that media is one of the leading causes of youth violence. Solving this problem will take the time and effort of everyone, not just a few. Some people don’t believe that media causes violence, but there have been several studies conducted to prove otherwise. Bittman, Rutherford, Brown, and Unsworth (2011), “negative impacts on children’s cognitive development and educational achievement have been associated with displacement of cognitively more valuable activities, especially in infancy (Anderson & Pempek, 2005) and early childhood” (Schmidt & Anderson, 20007). There has been so much focus on media that society has forgotten that age appropriate television works. Age-appropriate television increases language and development. Television and media are visual aids children learn from. It is hard to determine if a certain form of media causes the most violence. However, it has been proven that exposure to the media has been known to cause violent behavior, especially in the youth. Hundreds of these studies have been conducted, and they all seem to come back to the same conclusion. One analysis stated that media has been causing violence since as early as 1975.

...2015 “Do the Write Thing” Challenge Teen violence is a huge problem in the United States. Many people, including teachers, students, and parents try to stop it, but sometimes it’s not enough. Teen violence has grown throughout the years. It has many causes and has affected many people’s lives. Everyone is affected whether you are the person being wronged or not. So, how has youth violence affected me, what are some of the causes of youth violence and what can I do to stop it? Assuredly, violence has affected my life in a negative way, but not directly. When I hear a student being called names, see them being harassed, or watch a news report detailing physical or mental abuse of a youth, it fills me with anger, sadness and sometimes fear. It’s horrible that this sort of thing happens and ignoring it only makes matters worse. Our schools do their part with helping students with the prevention of bullying and by having guidance counselors on hand to address any issues that arise. At my middle school there’s a rule that requires all students to sit at the lunch table of their designated third period class. One of the reasons for this rule is to prevent a bully from a different class from sitting at a table and harassing another student during lunch. Unfortunately, this rule negatively affects me and many of the other students. If your lunch period were the only opportunity for you to sit with a friend that wasn’t in your third period class, you would be unable to do so without...

...Ian McPherson 11, 16, 2012 Violence Surrounding Marijuana The violence that surrounds marijuana is a major concern for a lot of people, some people believe that it can be changed by legalizing it and therefore taking away the drug cartels number one source of income. The U.S. Office of National Drug Control Policy ... says that more than 60 percent of the profits reaped by Mexican drug lords are derived from the exportation and sale of cannabis to the American market (Armentano2). It is ridiculous to think that the United States can put out a statistic like this and ignore the fact that if they legalized the drug there would be less violence because there would be no point for Mexican drug cartels to try and smuggle the drug into the U.S. In the article “Blame Prohibition, Not Pot Smokers for Violence in Mexico”, published by AlterNet.org, Tony Newman tells us how the people who run the “Just Say No” campaign against drugs have a new scheme in which they plan to blame people who smoke pot for the violence in Mexico. They are hoping to stop younger people from smoking marijuana if they associate it with the murder of people by the drug cartels in Mexico. There are a few problems with these campaigns: They are inaccurate in some cases, and downright dishonest in others.Office of National Drug Control Policy It is disingenuous to connect the average American's marijuana consumption to the horrific violence of Mexico's drug war. The average pot smoker's growing and...

...Violence in America Now days, it seems like violence today is getting way out of hand. From smaller things like bullying, to mass shootings in schools and malls, it is getting out of control. The first cause is bullying. Typically, bullying starts off with just hurting people emotionally, and then it slowly escalates into worse things. It escalates into hurting people physically. Then this bullying will last for months and months at a time, and eventually the person eventually won’t stand being bullied anymore, and will resort to self-harm. Bullying can be stopped. It can be quite easy to stop them. Often, all it takes is going in while it is happening and stopping the person. If it still continues after that, reporting it will most likely...
