DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Domestic violence is the act of violence between the members in the family. The most common violent behavior between husband and wife, parent and child.

-Domestic violence can be:

+Physical abuse ( Hitting, slapping, shoving, grabbing, pinching, biting, hair pulling )

+Sexual abuse (Forcing someone any sexual contact without permission)

+Emotional ( Undermining an individual’s sense of self-worth, self-esteem )

+Economic ( Make an individual financially dependent by maintaining total control over financial resource )

This is interesting facts you should know.

-Every 9 seconds in the US a woman is assaulted or beaten.

-1 in 4 women will experience domestic violence during her lifetime.

-More than 60% of domestic violence incidents happen at home.

And two main reasons for it :

-Gender inequality : In the family , women have position and power not equal to men , do not have the right to participate in decisions. That making the men think they all right to hit the women or domestic violence.

-Difficulty about economic: Because the difficulty always create the pressure, stress, deadlock to member in family, so easy to have some conflicts and disputes if you can not solve the problem.

Moreover, the effects also really bad.

Health: + Physically : Being structure scratches , abrasions , bruises (88.9%) , torn eardrum , damage eye injuries ( 12.9 % ) and 7.3 % had been injured by the deep and long cuts. And moreover, that effect to fertility, the woman who always being domestic violence can be miscarriage, get into AIDs or HIV also.

+ Mentally : effect to psychology, emotionally of victim, many victims have to quit their job because of shy, hurt, and sick.

In India , every year over5,000women were killed by their husbands because of the dowry that is not enough . In Bangladesh, according to murder wife for 50 % of the murders . Thus, domestic violence was a serious violation of the right to life of the woman.

Solutions of domestic violence are should focus on the dissemination , education and family counseling as well the mediation , against social evils. How well the propaganda will help change perceptions and behaviors in family behavior , which gradually eliminate domestic violence. Communication activities should indicate the cause of domestic violence is gender inequality , is thinking ' gender prejudice ' , distinguished status and role of women and men in the family.

ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT

I think energy and environment relate to each other. Based on my research they said " Energy & Environment (E&E) is a peer-reviewed academic journal covering the direct and indirect environmental impacts of energy acquisition, transport, production and use" It's easy to understand but we need to know what environment is and what energy is. Energy is something ability to do work, energy has two types : physics (kinetic, potential, chemical, thermal) and use of energy (renewable and nonrenewable). The nonrenewable still can used because it's cheap and provides a lot of energy.

I found some facts about renewable energy :

About 16% of our total energy comes from a renewable source.

More than half of the renewable energy we use comes from biomass.

A wind turbine converts wind into electricity and the largest one is 20 stories tall.

A wind turbine is so powerful that just one can provide electricity for up to 300 homes at the same time.

The use of renewable energy is not a new technique and some forms have been used for over 2,000 years.

Water is the most commonly used source of renewable energy.

The sun, another source of renewable energy, provides enough energy every hour to provide power for the whole world for an entire year.

The silicon in sand can be used to produce forms of electricity.

Some people believe that by the year 2050, we will have enough renewable energy to meet 95% of our energy needs.

Biodiesel is a type of fuel made from biomass such as vegetable oil and animal fats.

Geothermal energy comes from heat stored deep within the Earth.

The majority of renewable energy is used as a source of electricity.

The more renewable energy we use, the less fossil fuels are needed.

We currently are not able to use more renewable energy sources because typically renewable energy is more expensive to produce than nonrenewable sources.

Renewable energy is also called clean energy because it does not produce pollution.

There are some nonrenewable energy : natural gas, oil, coal, uranium,

You should turn off the all electronic thing when you're not use that, double check to turn off water when you finish. Finally, you should use the wind outside instead of air-condition.
