Anyone Could Become Victim To Abuse By Simply Trusting That Her Partner Will ...

Anyone could become victim to abuse by simply trusting that her partner will care for her with respect.
Victims could also be boys and men, however, for the purpose of this research, this population was not addressed to any capacity. Additionally, cultural norms of other ethnicities were not explored due to the focus of this research being solely on Asian women. However, some of the studies included in this research included comparative data between Asian women and women of other nationalities.
The cycle of violence was also explained. It is a critical factor in understanding abusers' behaviors for the purpose of providing services to abusers and especially to provide victims with an understanding of what they are experiencing and why. Many sufferers of domestic violence are told what is deficient in them. Over time, they begin to believe these untruths.
In investigating the intricacies of domestic violence and how it affects the Asian population specifically, it was important to provide examples of various cultures' norms regarding the views and treatment of women. Although all Asian countries' cultural norms and sub-cultural idiosyncrasies were not described within the context of this research, some cultures' customs were explored.Although it is important to obtain an exhaustive understanding about various Asian cultures it is vital to acknowledge that several idiosyncrasies exist within each country, every city and even every subculture. Thus, it was important to explore research that explained this factor of culture. Further, it is difficult to generalize that one particular culture or sub-culture has a set template of norms, therefore, descriptions of cultural norms were described with care and consideration. It should be noted that when speaking of any given culture, it is not to be assumed that the description exclusively applies to each and every person within a particular culture. Therefore, application of cultural norms should be understood with the idea that no one culture is completely homogenous. All in all, it is important to have a balanced understanding of cultural norms that do not over-generalize a culture and yet do take into consideration that there is a majority view about most issues.
General data on domestic violence was quite accessible. Many forms of information exist that assists in understanding the nature of abuse and its effects. There is also a wealth of information about the type of support available to victims of abuse and perpetrators. The Internet is a plentiful source for finding local agencies and support groups relating to domestic violence. Information was also discovered through various modes of literature books, journal articles and magazines.
