Improved Essays
He said he does it because he loves me. He said I was asking for it. He said I don’t know when to stop. Every day millions of women are victims of domestic abuse and are put into situations like this. Many women are forced to stay in these relationships because they feel worthless, they have children, or fear for their lives.

    This abuse doesn’t only take a psychical toll on a person, but an emotional one as well. It is often hard for a women to leave her partner in that situation because there is a cycle that occurs and that cycle has what is called the “honeymoon phase” where the abusive partner feels bad about what they have done and tries to make up for it. The partner then forgives them and the cycle repeats itself all over again (Mallicoat, 135-136). My solution to this would be for women to be educated more on domestic/intimate partner abuse and know what to do and where to go when it starts happening. Another thing that would help this is if the children who witness the abuse can reach out to authorities and even maybe have a safe place they can go…

    After reading "violence in intimate relationships: a feminist perspective" there are some harsh realities that some women do not want to face when they are or may be in a abusive relationship. Women face being labeled as a "battered woman" someone who has lost their morals or values to even stay with a male who is abusive towards them.

Furthermore the woman has to feel like she has someone to turn to…

    Candide Satire Essay

    • 4 Pages

    Candide is the story of the character Candide and the circumstances that fell upon him after his abrupt eviction from a seemingly idyllic castle. These circumstances reveal that the metaphysical optimism that his mentor, Pangloss has taught him is incorrect, through hardship after hardship. The story successfully challenges metaphysical optimism, the belief that “we live in the best of all possible worlds” and illustrates its dangers and ridiculousness through the use of various satirical elements such as exaggeration, irony, and ridicule. Voltaire first challenges metaphysical optimism through the use of satire when Candide persists in its belief, despite being forced to run the gauntlet. Candide states that “everything is linked by necessity and arranged for the best.…

    Adoption is a beautiful opportunity to provide children with loving homes and families with the children they so desperately want to include in their home and family. It’s a win-win. It benefits everyone. Yet somehow there are still many people out there who manage to take notice that an adoption has occurred, assume it’s their business and feel free to make the most ridiculous observations and horrendous comments. It’s unavoidable and since being blindsided almost never helps anyone deal with a negative situation in a more positive manner, it can be helpful to know just what ignorant comments about adoption you are bound to hear.…
