How did you explore victim and violence?
As an assessed drama piece based on “Domestic Violence”, the group I
was in explored victim and violence by using a number of explorative
strategies and drama mediums. In the play, we explored the feeling of
being a victim of violence and how a victim of violence becomes a
violator. The play that we performed was based on two key words from
the song, “Behind the Wall” by Tracy Chapman. The two words are:
victim and violence. The play’s main theme is irony.
The play revolves around two characters that used to attend school
together. One of the characters, Catherine – played by Bronwyn, had a
low status at school and was always bullied. The other character,
Kevin – played by Sean, was a bully and therefore had a higher status.
However, as time passes Kevin becomes a low status character and
Catherine evolves into a high status character. This results in the
bullied person now being the bully and one day meeting the character
who bullied her through childhood. There is also a waiter – played by
Oliver, and a waitress - played by Joelle.
The first scene was set in a modern day, British café. To make the
audience aware of the setting, a still image was used as the opening
of the play. The still image consisted of 2 chairs facing each other,
one down stage left and one up stage right. In front of each chair was
a main character. The high status character, Catherine, was placed in
front of the chair down stage left. Catherine stood in a slouchy
position and her hair a mess. This gave the audience a clue that
Catherine was of a higher status. The low status character, Kevin, was
placed in front of the chair up stage right. Kevin stood with his head
positioned towards the floor. The reason the low status character was
placed backstage was to give the audience a hint of the characters’
social status. This is because a stereotypical low status person is
more likely to blend into the background of a café than sit near the
front window to be viewed by passing pedestrians. Behind each chair,
facing down stage, was a waiter/waitress. The movements of the waiter
and waitress were performed synchronistical. This means that they both
walked to the table at the same time and both spoke at the same time.
This was used to show that the waiter and waitress were of equal
status and relevantly insignificant in the play.
The two characters of the play are complete contrasts.
focuses on how people observe and how people mode behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of others. Criminals and crimes are often analyzed by the different theories and theorists. A social learning theorist would look at the criminal’s interactions with their peers, who influences them, and will study their past. The social learning theory is defined as “the view that people learn to be aggressive by observing others acting aggressively to achieve some goal or being rewarded for violence acts”
Intimate Partner Violence Intervention Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global problem that is undetected due to not many of those that have been a victim report the incident. IVP can be consider as a pattern of assaultive and coercive behaviors, which included physical, sexual, and psychological attacks, as well as economic coercion, used by adults or adolescents against their intimate partner (Roark, 2010). For young adolescence that is a victim of dating violence, it is called adolescence
University Family Violence 23 November 2015 It’s a Friday night, you are tucked away in your bed sleeping when all of a sudden you hear the front door slam. Your father comes stumbling in screaming for your mother and other profanities. You hear your mother try to calm him down, and then she screams and starts crying. Your father tells her to shut up, calls her horrible names, and a loud sound, then he stumbles drunkenly to bed and forgets everything the next day, but you didn’t, this wasn’t
relationships, and can become the victims of domestic violence (Barter et al., 2010). Domestic violence amongst young people is hidden because it is expected to happen to older people; even the government definition specifies the ‘adult’ nature of abuse. The research will explore further on how the effect of domestic violence makes some young people afraid to speak out. It will then go on to look at how emotional and social abuse impact young people when domestic violence takes place. On the other hand

have everyone you've ever met reject you in such a strong way that they attack you is horrible in an almost indescribable way. Constant rejection and hatred being thrown in your face. With the kind of abrupt awakening that the monster had carved him into the "man" he is today. With sensory overload and no help to get started. He was left to his own devices in a world that wanted to kill him. It's really not that hard to see why people wanted to kill him, but when you look at it that way it's really not
Therefore, one must look to other sources as to how a criminal mind is developed. Social and environmental factors also are at fault for developing a person to the point at which they are lead to committing a criminal act. Often, someone who has committed a violent crime shows evidence of a poorly developed childhood, or the unsuitable current conditions in which the subject lives. In addition if one studies victimology which is the role that the victim plays in the crime, it is apparent that there
rape culture and perpetuation of the ‘blame the victim’ ideology has permeated our society since the beginning, from articles in newspapers in early American history, to the rise of Hollywood films, and now, online platforms. These detrimental ideas have become increasingly popularized since the rise of social media and since have created a toxic environment for the victims of such instances; warping their perception of self, and leading the victim to place the blame on themselves.

While women and children are not the only victims of human trafficking, the lack of mobility, power, or education in their societies make these two groups the biggest victims of human trafficking.

In this essay I will discuss how the glorification of women’s role in the liberation movements has silenced their real and lived experiences during the struggle. I will explore the gender hierarchy in the camps and I will also explain how the gender roles within the liberation movements in Southern Africa worked. Firstly I will discuss how the liberation movement viewed women; secondly I will explore the lived experiences of the women in the movements and their interactions with the men in the struggle
1.0 Introduction of victim precipitation Victim precipitation theories generally involve an explanation of how an individual’s behavior may contribute to his or her own victimization. In future the victim precipitation is behavior by a victim that initiates subsequent behavior of the victimizer and the degree to which victim is responsible for own victimization Early attempts at studying victim behavior involved the development of typologies that allowed victimol-ogists to determine who was most
Opportunity Commission (EEOC), The U.S. Department of Labor, Employee Benefits Security Administration and the Department of Justice in place to protect worker, to ensure the workplace is safe, however for reasons often unknown, we see people resort to violence to solve their problems. In 2014 we have seen a shooting in Seattle, Santa Barbara and Fort Hood. Ivan Lopez was responsible for the shooting at Fort Hood, which left three dead and sixteen wounded. Reports came out immediately after the shooting
one thing, in which it is granted to you to be free in life, all else being beyond your power: that is to recognize and profess the truth (Vethuizen 19). Although there is a great deal out of our control, understanding and speaking the truth is one that is entirely in control of each other. Expressing the truth is something that most humans feel the need to confess and express. Truth is the accurate depiction of events as they happened. In Tim O’Brien’s “How to Tell a True War Story,” the narrator
