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.
