Domestic Abuse: A Social or Medical Problem

Domestic Abuse: How Is It Committed?

There are several types of crimes being committed each day. Some of them are medical related ones while others are social crimes. Indeed, man is a social animal who is influenced by his inherited instincts to attack and take what is his. This same approach is visible in contemporary man and in spite of the law clamping down such crimes; males persist in dominating and controlling their female partners.

As women are sometimes observed to be the weaker of the two sexes, they are vulnerable to suffer physically and mentally, the abuse inflicted on them by men.

Men tend to use their physical strength against women in order to make them submit to their demands. It is a situation that is hardly fair, but such is the plight of a male-dominated world.

The Most Common Crime: Domestic Violence

Among the most common crimes in the United States is domestic violence. Indeed nearly 25% of all crimes committed in the country are incidents of women being assaulted. One might assert that since men are physically large and mentally strong, they maintain a balance between their lives as perfectly sane citizens, however, contrary to this, it is these normal men who are the most violent social animals.

Some spouses can hardly believe how their husbands transform into possessive and dominating figures in the home once they are married. Prior to being married many men show a completely opposite side until the get what they want. This is a nature that is opposed to the old animal instinct because animals would grab; social animals (men) do not grab.

They are smart when it comes to being getting their way. However, once a man gets his way, as many women have experienced, he changes his colors. However, this does not refer to all the men because to say that it would be unjust; it only encompasses those who are violent.

Men: The Dominating Factor in Domestic Abuse

Society has indeed many men who abuse their wives and children too and most of them are perfectly sane with no medical problems or anything to that effect. So, one can say that the problem is definitely social rather than anything else to blame.

Similar to married men beating their women, boyfriends too do the same. This is even more likely to occur when girls live in with their boyfriends. It must be noted here that living in automatically creates a home for the couple. Being a man, like any other male, the unmarried male also begins to dominate. It is not true in all cases, but this fact is certainly supported by the statistics of domestic abuse that are worth looking.

Looking at unmarried men dominating in their relationships, it is obvious that the problem is rampant. It is a problem that is related to society and not simply one society, as there are many parts of the world where males dominate. Since they are the stronger of the two sexes, they try to dominate. It is most apparent that it is an instinctive behavior and only strict laws will be able to bring down the statistics of related violence.

In order for domestic abuse to be a medical problem there would have been some kind of problems being faced by males medically or genetically speaking. However, the problem apparently lies in the need to dominate and since most men are stronger than women, they are able to get their way. The widespread occurrence of domestic violence makes it a social problem and not a medical one.
