Recommended: Critics on psychological effects of domestic violence

Assault within the home, seems to be increasingly prevalent among youth. Many influences may affect whether these cases are reported, and whether the victim feels it is appropriate to report them. Chapin and Coleman discuss a study particularly on adolescents that focuses on the term optimistic bias which is defined in the text as, “the belief bad things happen to other people.” (Chapin, Coleman, 2014, p. 757). The article uses many other studies to explain the alarming number of adolescents who have experienced assault in a physical manner in the home, and the mental processes before and after the events. The study that is particularly examined looks at the relationships that may be present between the HBM (Health Belief Model), optimistic bias, …show more content…

According to the model, there are four types of health beliefs: (1) Perceived Susceptibility, (2) Perceived severity, (3) Perceived benefits, and (4) Perceived barriers” (Chapin, Coleman, 2014,p. 758). The results of the study, proved their predicted relationships between optimistic bias and perceived media were correct. As an adolescent begins to believe the images and depictions of families violence in the media are realistic, they begin to believe that it is less likely to happen to them. This supports the fact that “Nearly one-third (28.4%) of adolescents experience some form of physical assault in the home.” (Chapin, Coleman,2014 , p.760). As referred to in the text, the media plays a large part in portraying families and what is appropriate within them. This is where perceived media reality increases a child’s optimistic bias towards violence within the thome. Chapin and Coleman (2014) did not state that there was a relationship between optimistic bias and demographics, it did state that poor health, drug and alcohol abuse, depression, and obesity were directly related to sexual and physical

In a fair amount of school shootings, the shooters have been known to spend a large amount of time on social media or video games (Lyons). Another article, “The Future of Children”, written by Craig A. Anderson and Soledad Liliana Escobar-Chaves, agrees with the majority of claims Lyons makes. “Despite many reports that exposure to violent media is a causal risk factor, the U.S. public remains largely unaware of these risks, and youth exposure to violent media remains extremely high” (Anderson). Lyons also claims that there is no individual type of media that proves to make a viewer more violent, which the other article also agrees with. “Furthermore, it is likely that overall media violence exposure has a somewhat larger effect than any individual type of media violence”

In “Violent Media is Good for Kids” Gerard Jones persuades concerned parents that violent media is more beneficial than harmful by appealing emotionally to them through a story about his childhood, establishing his authority, citing a trusted source, using empowering diction, and sharing a story about his son. The first paragraph begins with, “At 13 I was alone and afraid.” This creates pity for Jones. Parents imagine an adolescent boy, lost in the juvenile world, maybe in a situation comparable to that of their own child.

The environment one associates with significantly influences their perception of societal norms. The unfortunate reality is that children of lower socio-demographics are often exposed to acts of violence on a regular basis.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest has graphic violence that may seem pathetic compared to the media of the 21st century American society. Violence can affect children and adolescents up to the age of 18 mentally, physically, and socially. As Zena Rudo, senior researcher at the American Institutes for Research with 35 years of experience, infers through her research, “Social learning theory suggests that violence exposure has effects on children's behavior through modeling and the positive and negative reinforcement of aggression... and through the development of coercive parent--child interactions” (94). Children exposed to violence can begin to behave aggressively and develop unhealthy relationships with their parental figures. Detrimental

The first meaning is centred on the opinion that children who live with domestic violence will learn that abuse is tolerable and suggests that abuse is normal within relationships. The trend for these children suggests as they grow up they have a tendency to become either perpetrators of abuse or victims. This generally is depending on whether they are male or female (ADPP, 2017). Witnessing parental domestic violence has appeared as the strongest predictor responsible for violence in young people’s own intimate relationships. Up to one-quarter of young non-Aboriginal people in Australia have witnessed an event of physical or DV against their mother, stepmother or father, stepfather from and towards each other.

People do not realize how serious sexual violence is if it does not enter their bubble. Nowadays, the media plays an important part, as sexual violence is constantly depicted on the television or through games. Cartoons show violence too much that it is seen normal to see it even for your children. “The media does not causes violence but it reinforces the idea that men are strong dominant and powerful and that women are there to meet men’s need.”
