Violence

Violence how does that affect everyone in America? Violence has a great affect on everybody whether it be directed towards a single person or if it is viewed indirectly by another person. When it comes to violence I am highly against it when there is not a solid reason for it to be used, but if there is any other way to settle a matter such as talking it out I'd much rather do that. Also when it comes to violence towards women I would never raise my hand in a violent manner to a women it disgusts me when I hear about a man beating a woman no matter the reasoning.

This chart shows the numbers of dosmetic violence between women and men from 2001 to 2007. As you can see the amount of female victims is almost 4 times the amount of male victims. From what i think this is because males being the more physically stronger person would sometimes like to assert the dominance over the sometimes weaker females. There are many factors for these statistics. Typically many violent outbursts are due to the consumption of large amounts of alcohol.

This chart shows that men in the past decade have nearly tripled women in alcoholism. This is a huge factor in why females are more prone to domestic violence because of the mens greater consumption of alcohol.


 This chart shows the other factor of domestic violence which is race. Overall, in the United States, blacks experience higher rates of victimization than other groups: black females experience intimate violence at a rate 35 percent higher than that of white females, and black males experience intimate violence at a rate of 62 percent higher than that of white males and about two and a half times the rate of men of other races. Other surveys showed that American Indians and Alaskan Native women experience significantly higher rates of physical abuse as well.

Women in the Modern Workplace

Women in the modern workplace is a commonly discussed topic. Between the idea of is it more difficult for a woman to obtain a certain job or the wages between two people of opposite sex who have the same skill set and experience. In my own opinion it can be more difficult for women to get a job depending on the job. For example for a job that relies more on physical strength such as construction worker a male would be more likely to get the job due to a male typically being stronger. On the other hand a female would more likely be accepted over a male at a job in fashion because people are more drawn towards the physical appearance of a female. Keep in mind I may be completely incorrect this is just my own opinion on this subject. Now when it comes to wages typically you can see a female in the same position as a male receiving a lower wage than a male. In 2013 it was found that women were making 78 cents to every dollar that the men were making.

This is a chart that shows the average income between a man and woman after college. As you can see the women make significantly less than the men after college. Now the question is why is the gap so large when they received the same education (seeing as if they attended the same college and same class).

Again here's a photo representing the pay wage gap between men and women. As you can see the women in this photo are carrying a small sum of cash while the man in the picture has a much greater amout of money. In the workplace many people know of this wage gap but don't say anything due to it being frowned upon to ask a coworker what their wages are. Now I really wonder when and if this will be fixed and there will be more equality amongst the work place.
