Nearly a third of surveyed women sustained two or three types of ill-treatment including physical, mental and sexual violence. (Guo et al., 2003) (2) Causes of the problem The causes of the problem can be analyzed from the angles of victims, victimizer and externalities incorporating imperfect legal and educative system. Cause One (Topic sentence): There are two stale but pervasive beliefs supporting the perpetrators. Firstly, gender inequality diffusely exists in both reality and conception. On the other hand, a culture of violence is deeply ingrained in Chinese rural families’ culture so that men are used to solve problems with violence. Elaboration/explanation with evidence: After the Reform and Opening-up, men who have physical advantages and master more resources take the lead in waking into the labor market so that women have to compensate the loss of labor. Then it results in the Agricultural Feminization. Men are still the major contributors to household income so they’re in power of dominant while rural women economically depend on their husbands.

Jackson Katz’s deficient diction portrays a fallacious idea that the majority of the victims of domestic violence are women with ideas that it’s a “men’s issue, and we are at fault” and “men are broken and need to be leaders, receive leadership training, and not sensitivity training.” Multiple empirical studies conclude that ¼ of all relationships have violence, and nonreciprocal violence in a relationship was more than 70%, initiated by females, and only less than 30%, initiated by male. People say that females are more affected as the statistics show that women get the brunt of the damage, but that 's because men are usually stronger and have the ability to inflict that much damage.

Furthermore, integrated responses are often focused on the short term, and need to develop greater cognizance of the need for ongoing support of victims, specifically in regards to housing arrangements. Meyer’s report also notes that the women who received housing arrangements believed they were “not sustainable in the long run”. A further barrier to the successful implementation of the integrated response model is the lack of diligence and effort it expends for ensuring the emotional protection and healing of female victims. If a women is permanently traumatised and scarred through an incidence of domestic violence, simply arresting and removing the offender will not suffice.

My chosen topic for week six final project is called Equal opportunity. During the 1930’s and 1940’s certain individuals were not given an equal opportunity to an education due to disparities.
