UNICEF has highlighted how children suffer violence throughout all stages of childhood and adolescence, in different contexts, and often at the hands of people they trust and interact with on a daily basis.
Violent corporal punishment, 300 million children between 2 and 4 years old in the world regularly suffer violence from their family/guardians (about 3 out of 4), 250 million of these are punished physically (about 6 out of 10).
Sexual violence, Sexual violence occurs against children of all ages: 15 million girls aged 15 to 19 have experienced incidents of sexual violence in their lives, and 2.5 million young women in 28 European countries report having suffered episodes of sexual violence before the age of 15.

This document summarizes a study that examined whether PTSD symptoms mediate the relationship between sexual abuse and substance use in juvenile justice-involved youth. The study used data from 197 youth who completed psychological assessments. Results showed that PTSD symptoms significantly mediated the relationship between sexual abuse and both drug use and alcohol use. Specifically, higher PTSD symptoms were associated with increased substance use risk for youth who experienced sexual abuse. Gender did not significantly moderate these relationships. The findings suggest targeting PTSD symptoms through treatment may help reduce substance use problems for sexually abused youth in the juvenile justice system.

Perception of Child Abuse 2
COLLEGE STUDENTS’ AND PROFESSIONALS’ PERCEPTION OF CHILD ABUSE IN CORRELATION TO STRESS
Introduction
Throughout the growth and development of society, child abuse and maltreatment has expanded into many different aspects; it occurs within socioeconomic levels, ethnic and cultural lines, all religions and all levels of education. Within the United States children are suffering from a hidden epidemic of child abuse and neglect. Every year 3.3 million reports of child abuse are made in the United States involving nearly 6 million children (a report can include multiple children). The United States has the worst record in the industrialized nation – losing five children every day due to abuse-related deaths (U.S. Department of HHS, 2011). The estimated cost of child abuse and neglect in the United States for 2008 is $124 billion (Fang, 2012). The Department of Children and Families (DCF) defines child maltreatment as any act or series of acts of commission or omission by a parent, guardian, or other caregiver that results in harm, potential for harm, or threat of harm to a child (Leeb, Paulozzi, Melanson, Simon, & Arias, 2008). There are four major categories of childhood abuse and maltreatment: physical abuse, psychological and emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect (Goldman, Salus, Wolcott, & Kennedy, 2003).
According to Brian H. Bornstein, Debra L. Kaplan, and Andrea R. Perry (2007), people have stereotypes about the circumstances and consequences of child abuse, and these expectancies can influence their judgments about individuals involved in abuse cases. Heim (2000) reported that participants with a history of abuse experience greater levels of perceived stress than participants without a history of abuse. They often perceive daily stressors more severely and longer in duration than their counterparts. It is also suggested that their history of abuse compromises these participants’ abilities to cope with stress, but the researchers noted that the data from their study is inconclusive, making it difficult for them to either support or refute this claim.
The perception of child abuse is very influential to students and upcoming professionals. Society’s definition and perception will guide current social work students into practice, which is a very important factor within the professional realm of social work.
Research Question
The purpose of this study is to examine college students and professionals’ perception of child abuse and how it relates to stress. The independent variable is the college students and professionals’ perception of child abuse and the dependent variable is how it relates to stress. The operational definition of perception remains closely allied to the continually developing behavioral theory of discrimination (Schoenfeld, 1962). The operational definition of child abuse is as any act or series of acts of commission or omission by a parent, guardian, or other caregiver that results.
The document summarizes an analysis of a sexual risk reduction (HIV/AIDS) intervention program for African American women led by Ralph DiClemente. The randomized controlled trial aimed to increase consistent condom use through skills training based on social cognitive theory and the theory of gender and power. Results found women in the intervention had 2.1-4.1 higher odds of consistent condom use and improved communication compared to the control group. However, the study had limitations like not measuring long-term condom use and a p-value above 0.05, indicating no significant association between treatment and other factors.
The document discusses violence among children and juveniles. It finds that between 1983-1993, cases of violent offenses and weapons violations in juvenile courts increased substantially. Specifically, cases against persons committed by youth rose 100% and violent crime index offenses and weapons law violations increased 98% and 156% respectively. More recently, arrest rates for violent crimes have continued rising faster for youth under age 15 than older youth. Reasons proposed for the increases in youth violence include more violence in society overall, more negative influences in children's lives, and a lack of support from social institutions like family and schools.

The author developed a conceptual model of factors influencing physical IPV among adolescents, including individual characteristics, social contexts, family dynamics, and psychosocial and behavioral factors. The document also reviews literature on school-based interventions for IPV and violence prevention. Most interventions show small or temporary effects, and achieving sustained behavior change may require new strategies addressing multiple risk factors simultaneously.

Problem Statement
Several adults struggle from a variety of mental health issues (suicidal thoughts and tendencies, alcoholism, depression, and drug abusers.) A lot of those issues may stem from what took place during an adult’s childhood that stem from a variety of reasons. Some adults seek help and some refuse to seek help. The adults who do seek help come to realize that their current issues stem from when they were a child and still developing as a human. Child abuse can come in many forms, physical, mental, and sexual. Adults who have been exposed or experienced this are likely to suffer from some form of mental health issue. It is important to figure out the root of mental health issues in adults so the root can be addressed. Children need to be in a healthy environment with nothing short of love and care. Exposing children to a harsh reality is only breeding them into an adult who suffers from mental health issues.
Literature Review
The study of psychology helps researchers to understand better what is going on with a person. Researchers studied what happened in a person's life that causes them to make the decisions they do and behave in a certain way. Adults have this stigmatism that they can do whatever they want because they are "grown." Many adults suffer from something that can cause to lead towards suicidal thoughts and tendencies, alcoholism, depression, and drug abusers. A lot of those issues may stem from what took place during an adult’s childhood. There could be some reasons adults tend to display certain mental health traits that have been studied in many different forms by researchers. What we will be reviewed is the abuse, physical or mental, that an adult endured as a child and how it affects them in their adulthood.
Blanco, C., Grant, B. F., Hasin, D. S., Lin, K. H., Olfson, M. Sugaya, L. (2012) recognized that child physical abuse had been associated with an increased risk of suicide attempts. The study conducted included Blacks, Hispanics and young adults between the ages of 18-24 in 2001-2002 and 2004-2005. In person, interviews were conducted in Wave 1. In Wave 2 used similar methods as Wave 1 but it excluded the individuals who were not eligible. Wave 2 also interviews went into depth about the questions asked for the participants first 17 years of life. There are many other variables that have been added to the data that relate to childhood physical abuse and mental health distress in adult years. Those other adversatives included the history of child sexual abuse and neglect, parental psychopathology, and perceived parental support, described as emotional neglect.
The advantages to this design would be the inclusion of other childhood adversities that could contribute to adult psychiatri.

This study analyzed data from a nationally representative sample of 1,143 individuals ages 16-22 to examine patterns of sexual violence perpetration over time. Three key profiles of perpetration were identified for both younger (16-18) and older (19+) age groups: 1) a high perpetration profile with a high probability of sexual harassment, rape, coercive sex, and sexual assault; 2) a middle perpetration profile with a high probability of sexual harassment; and 3) a low perpetration profile with low probabilities of any perpetration. While most individuals remained stable in their perpetration profiles over time, some escalated or reduced their perpetration behaviors. Few gender differences were found except that males ages 16-18 were more

The study aims to examine the relationship between adverse childhood trauma and dissociation in male offenders. It will utilize a qualitative research approach and correlational research design involving 30 participants from two county correctional facilities. Questionnaires will be used to measure experiences of childhood trauma and levels of dissociation. The study expects to find a positive relationship between childhood trauma and dissociation among male offenders, which would indicate the need for trauma-informed care approaches when treating this population.
Mohamed Abdelbadie discusses the long-term mental health consequences of sexual abuse. Sexual abuse in children involves forcing or encouraging sexual acts, while in adults it means physical or coercive intrusion of a sexual nature. Studies show depression in 80% of abuse survivors and PTSD in 50%. Other common effects include anxiety, low self-esteem, health risks like substance abuse, and social difficulties. Neurobiological factors like disruptions in brain areas related to emotion and stress responses may underlie these mental health issues. The severity and chronicity of abuse, relationship to the perpetrator, family support, and coping strategies can impact the survivor's long-term adjustment and resilience.
Violencia y resiliencia en adolescentesguevarajimena
The document summarizes research on reducing adolescent violence through building resilience. It finds that exposure to multiple risks like abuse, family violence, and unsafe neighborhoods increases risk of adolescent violence. However, protective factors like supportive relationships, education, life skills and structured activities can build resilience. Interventions should address risk factors early through parenting programs, education, and economic opportunities. Community programs that shift social norms can also help by lowering emotional temperatures during conflicts.
The study examined the relationship between parental physical affection during adolescence and teenage years and issues like attachment, aggression, sex, and drug/alcohol use. It found that 80% of boys who did not receive physical affection were more likely to engage in risky behaviors, while only 50% of girls showed a relationship between lack of affection and such behaviors. The research suggests that parental physical affection during adolescence is strongly associated with healthier attachment and less destructive behavior in children.
Adolescents who engage in early sexual activity face risks of STIs, pregnancy, and emotional pain. Two common types of sex education in the US are abstinence-only and comprehensive sex education, but few studies have examined the influence of peer groups and families on adolescent sexual decision-making. This document reviews literature showing that adolescents who engage in risky sexual behavior often minimize risks, have risk factors like lack of supervision, or believe relationships are "safe". Comprehensive sex education may marginally reduce sexual activity and pregnancy rates compared to abstinence-only or no sex education, though abstinence-only programs claim to delay sexual initiation despite little evidence of effectiveness.

Psychological and physical dating violence patterns were examined to
determine if maternal relationships affected dating violence patterns
differently for male and female adolescents. Participants consisted of 469
ninth grade students from various schools across the Mississippi Delta
region. Participants completed self-report evaluations regarding the
number of experienced and perpetrated violent acts with a dating partner.
A series of two-way ANOVAs were calculated to determine the influence
of maternal relationships on dating violence. These findings indicated
that maternal relationships do not significantly influence the physically
violent behaviors; however, significant interactions were found between
maternal relationships by gender, with males perpetrating greater
numbers of and being victimized more psychologically when the
relationship with the mother was negative. Female participants displayed
completely opposite patterns of psychological violence when
experiencing negative maternal relationships as compared to the males.
The issue of dating violence has received considerable research
attention over the past several years. The social problem created by
adolescents being both physically and psychologically violent toward a
dating partner, and the resulting victimization, is cause for serious
concern. Several factors have emerged from the extant research. First, it
is apparent that both physical and psychological abuse occurs regularly
among adolescents. Secondly, certain individual attributes increase the
likelihood of adolescents becoming abusive toward their dating partners.
Previous research has indicated that dating violence among
adolescents is a prevalent problem. James, West, Deters, and Armijo
(2000) reported that 50% of their adolescent participants perpetrated
physical violence in the form of scratching, pushing, shoving, and hitting
with fist. Yet other studies have indicated that as many as 40% of the
adolescent participants had perpetrated some form of physical violence

violent acts of a more serious nature is also apparent during the
adolescent years. In one such study, James et al. (2000) found that 20%
of the participants reported committing violent behaviors ...

With the release of the Netflix drama 13 Reasons Why in March 2017, social workers from middle schools to colleges and universities across the country found themselves plunged into conversations with adolescents and young adults around topics related to suicide. While many mental health professionals objected strongly to the series, saying it contains harmful messages about the inevitability of suicide, the ability to achieve revenge through suicide, the absence of helpful others, and insufficient messages about the availability of help and support, most professionals acknowledged that, apart from these concerns, the series opened a space for conversation on a topic that is shrouded in stigma, fear, pain, and misunderstanding.
By having an accurate understanding of the scope of the problem, confronting myths and imprecise language, and using best practices in screening, intervention, and prevention, social workers have a critical role in helping children, adolescents, and young adults move through a suicidal crisis to emotional wellness.
Data on Suicide
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), suicide was the 10th-leading cause of death for all ages in 2013. Suicide was the third-leading cause of death among persons aged 10 to 14, and the second among persons aged 15 to 34, though middle-aged adults accounted for the largest proportion of suicides (56% in 2011). The percentage of adults having serious thoughts about suicide was highest among adults aged 18 to 25 (7.4%), followed by adults aged 26 to 49 (4%), then by adults aged 50 and older (2.7%) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015).
The following were noted among students in grades nine through 12 during 2013:
• Seventeen percent of students seriously considered attempting suicide in previous 12 months (22.4% of females and 11.6% of males).
• 13.6% of students made a plan about how they would attempt suicide in the previous 12 months (16.9% of females and 10.3% of males).
• Eight percent of students attempted suicide one or more times in previous 12 months (10.6% of females and 5.4% of males).
• 2.7% of students made a suicide attempt that resulted in an injury, poisoning, or an overdose that required medical attention (3.6% of females and 1.8% of males) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015).
New research presented in May 2017 at the Pediatric Academic Societies Meeting analyzed hospital admissions with a diagnosis of suicidal thoughts or behaviors and serious self-harm from 32 children's hospitals across that nation from 2008 to 2015. Researchers found the number of admissions has more than doubled during the past decade. The research found the largest increases among girls, and seasonal variations with the spring and fall having higher admission rates than summer (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2017 ...
Dating violence is a widespread public health issue that affects both physical and mental health. It can take many forms, including physical, sexual, psychological, and stalking behaviors. Risk factors include beliefs about relationship violence, substance use, witnessing domestic violence, and early sexual activity. Dating violence often begins in teenage relationships and can have long-lasting negative effects. Prevention strategies aim to promote healthy relationships and change social norms through school-based programs and community involvement.
This document discusses juvenile delinquency, particularly female juvenile delinquency. It notes that while juvenile delinquency rates are declining, girls are the fastest growing segment of the juvenile justice system. There is a lack of appropriate programs and services for female juvenile offenders, especially pregnant teens, as the system was designed for males. Child abuse and family dysfunction are discussed as factors that can contribute to female juvenile delinquency.

Students Against Violence and what causes bullying.docxwrite5
Bullying is a widespread problem that can have serious negative consequences. It is often caused by social factors like an imbalance of power between the bully and victim. Common types of bullying include physical, verbal, and cyber bullying. Effective anti-bullying programs involve creating a supportive environment at home and school, establishing clear rules against bullying, and consistently enforcing negative consequences for bullies. While bullying can never be fully eliminated, well-designed prevention programs have been shown to significantly reduce incidents of bullying.
This document summarizes a research study that examined the relationship between identity and risky sexual behaviors in middle school students. The study surveyed 200 middle school students about their identities, attitudes towards sexuality, and intentions around sexual behaviors. The findings suggested that students' identities can predict their engagement in risky sexual activities. Specifically, students higher in fear of negative evaluation were more likely to engage in such behaviors. The document discusses theories of identity and self-presentation that provide context for how identities can influence health behaviors in adolescents.

The document discusses deliberate self-harm (DSH) among adolescents and young adults. It finds that DSH is common, with at least 1 episode found in 1/3 to 1/2 of US adolescents. DSH takes various forms like cutting, burning, and head banging. While not intended to be fatal, some people who engage in DSH do eventually attempt suicide. The document recommends that primary care providers assess young people for DSH risk factors, conduct a thorough physical exam, and evaluate psychological and psychosocial risks, to better identify and manage DSH. Comprehensive screening and a trusting patient relationship are important for addressing this major public health issue.
This study examined sexual knowledge, parental communication, condom usage, relationship status, and race using data from 211 Georgia teens aged 13-18 who participated in an HIV prevention program. Descriptive analyses found that over half were currently in a relationship and 62.1% reported using a condom last time. There was no correlation between parental communication and sexual knowledge pre-intervention. Teens had higher sexual knowledge post-intervention. There were no differences in sexual knowledge or parental communication between African American and Caucasian teens. Relationship status was significantly related to condom usage.

This document reviews literature showing that adolescents who engage in risky sexual behavior often minimize risks, have risk factors like lack of supervision, or believe relationships are "safe". Comprehensive sex education may marginally reduce sexual activity and pregnancy rates compared to abstinence-only or no sex education, though abstinence-only programs claim to delay sexual initiation despite little evidence of effectiveness.

Psychological and physical dating violence patterns were examined to
determine if maternal relationships affected dating violence patterns
differently for male and female adolescents. Participants consisted of 469
ninth grade students from various schools across the Mississippi Delta
region. Participants completed self-report evaluations regarding the
number of experienced and perpetrated violent acts with a dating partner.
A series of two-way ANOVAs were calculated to determine the influence
of maternal relationships on dating violence. These findings indicated
that maternal relationships do not significantly influence the physically
violent behaviors; however, significant interactions were found between
maternal relationships by gender, with males perpetrating greater
numbers of and being victimized more psychologically when the
relationship with the mother was negative. Female participants displayed
completely opposite patterns of psychological violence when
experiencing negative maternal relationships as compared to the males.
The issue of dating violence has received considerable research
attention over the past several years. The social problem created by
adolescents being both physically and psychologically violent toward a
dating partner, and the resulting victimization, is cause for serious
concern. Several factors have emerged from the extant research. First, it
is apparent that both physical and psychological abuse occurs regularly
among adolescents. Secondly, certain individual attributes increase the
likelihood of adolescents becoming abusive toward their dating partners.
Previous research has indicated that dating violence among
adolescents is a prevalent problem. James, West, Deters, and Armijo
(2000) reported that 50% of their adolescent participants perpetrated
physical violence in the form of scratching, pushing, shoving, and hitting
with fist. Yet other studies have indicated that as many as 40% of the
adolescent participants had perpetrated some form of physical violence

Leaf, & Cascardi, 2008; Reuterman & Burcky, 1989). The exhibiting of
violent acts of a more serious nature is also apparent during the
adolescent years. In one such study, James et al. (2000) found that 20%
of the participants reported committing violent behaviors ...

Children and Families Forum: Suicide Prevention for Children and AdolescentsBy Liza Greville, MA, LCSWSocial Work TodayVol. 17 No. 5 P. 32
With the release of the Netflix drama 13 Reasons Why in March 2017, social workers from middle schools to colleges and universities across the country found themselves plunged into conversations with adolescents and young adults around topics related to suicide. While many mental health professionals objected strongly to the series, saying it contains harmful messages about the inevitability of suicide, the ability to achieve revenge through suicide, the absence of helpful others, and insufficient messages about the availability of help and support, most professionals acknowledged that, apart from these concerns, the series opened a space for conversation on a topic that is shrouded in stigma, fear, pain, and misunderstanding.
By having an accurate understanding of the scope of the problem, confronting myths and imprecise language, and using best practices in screening, intervention, and prevention, social workers have a critical role in helping children, adolescents, and young adults move through a suicidal crisis to emotional wellness.
Data on Suicide
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), suicide was the 10th-leading cause of death for all ages in 2013. Suicide was the third-leading cause of death among persons aged 10 to 14, and the second among persons aged 15 to 34, though middle-aged adults accounted for the largest proportion of suicides (56% in 2011). The percentage of adults having serious thoughts about suicide was highest among adults aged 18 to 25 (7.4%), followed by adults aged 26 to 49 (4%), then by adults aged 50 and older (2.7%) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015).
The following were noted among students in grades nine through 12 during 2013:
• Seventeen percent of students seriously considered attempting suicide in previous 12 months (22.4% of females and 11.6% of males).
• 13.6% of students made a plan about how they would attempt suicide in the previous 12 months (16.9% of females and 10.3% of males).
• Eight percent of students attempted suicide one or more times in previous 12 months (10.6% of females and 5.4% of males).
• 2.7% of students made a suicide attempt that resulted in an injury, poisoning, or an overdose that required medical attention (3.6% of females and 1.8% of males) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015).
New research presented in May 2017 at the Pediatric Academic Societies Meeting analyzed hospital admissions with a diagnosis of suicidal thoughts or behaviors and serious self-harm from 32 children's hospitals across that nation from 2008 to 2015. Researchers found the number of admissions has more than doubled during the past decade. The research found the largest increases among girls, and seasonal variations with the spring and fall having higher admission rates than summer (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2017 ...
Dating violence is a widespread public health issue that affects both physical and mental health. It can take many forms, including physical, sexual, psychological, and stalking behaviors. Risk factors include beliefs about relationship violence, substance use, witnessing domestic violence, and early sexual activity. Dating violence often begins in teenage relationships and can have long-lasting negative effects. Prevention strategies aim to promote healthy relationships and change social norms through school-based programs and community involvement.
This document discusses juvenile delinquency, particularly female juvenile delinquency. It notes that while juvenile delinquency rates are declining, girls are the fastest growing segment of the juvenile justice system. There is a lack of appropriate programs and services for female juvenile offenders, especially pregnant teens, as the system was designed for males. Child abuse and family dysfunction are discussed as factors that can contribute to female juvenile delinquency.

Students Against Violence and what causes bullying.docxwrite5
Bullying is a widespread problem that can have serious negative consequences. It is often caused by social factors like an imbalance of power between the bully and victim. Common types of bullying include physical, verbal, and cyber bullying. Effective anti-bullying programs involve creating a supportive environment at home and school, establishing clear rules against bullying, and consistently enforcing negative consequences for bullies. While bullying can never be fully eliminated, well-designed prevention programs have been shown to significantly reduce incidents of bullying.
This document summarizes a research study that examined the relationship between identity and risky sexual behaviors in middle school students. The study surveyed 200 middle school students about their identities, attitudes towards sexuality, and intentions around sexual behaviors. The findings suggested that students' identities can predict their engagement in risky sexual activities. Specifically, students higher in fear of negative evaluation were more likely to engage in such behaviors. The document discusses theories of identity and self-presentation that provide context for how identities can influence health behaviors in adolescents.

The document discusses deliberate self-harm (DSH) among adolescents and young adults. It finds that DSH is common, with at least 1 episode found in 1/3 to 1/2 of US adolescents. DSH takes various forms like cutting, burning, and head banging. While not intended to be fatal, some people who engage in DSH do eventually attempt suicide. The document recommends that primary care providers assess young people for DSH risk factors, conduct a thorough physical exam, and evaluate psychological and psychosocial risks, to better identify and manage DSH. Comprehensive screening and a trusting patient relationship are important for addressing this major public health issue.
This study examined sexual knowledge, parental communication, condom usage, relationship status, and race using data from 211 Georgia teens aged 13-18 who participated in an HIV prevention program. Descriptive analyses found that over half were currently in a relationship and 62.1% reported using a condom last time. There was no correlation between parental communication and sexual knowledge pre-intervention. Teens had higher sexual knowledge post-intervention. There were no differences in sexual knowledge or parental communication between African American and Caucasian teens. Relationship status was significantly related to condom usage.

Case 1: Family Loyalty vs. Meritocracy
A man was appointed president of the newly-acquired Philippine subsidiary of a large American company. He was reviewing the organization with the company's head of human resources. One thing the president noted was that the same names reoccurred frequently in several departments. "It is our tradition," commented the HR head. "Families take care of their own. If one family member gets a good job in a Philippine company, other members of the family apply to join that company and the first member there can help the whole family become successful by helping them get hired and by coaching them to be successful. The company benefits. Our costs of recruiting are lower, we know more about the people we hire, and the commitment to family success results in fewer performance and discipline problems because family members want to please their older relatives."
The president wondered how these practices would be regarded in a large American firm, and whether or not he should take action to change them.
1. Nepotism is not illegal, but is it ethical?
2. If the business is family-owned, does that make a difference?
3. How does national culture affect this discussion?
Case 2: Is the Two-Tier System Ethically Problematic
Employees at a cereal makers plant were “locked-out” from their jobs producing cereal for over 3 months. Company management and the union representing the employees reached a stalemate in negotiations resulting in the lockout. The union claims that the primary issue is the company’s demand of dramatically increasing the number of temporary workers, who would earn $6 less per hour and receive fewer benefits. Critics claim this effectively creates a two-tier system at the plant. Under the current agreement, the company may use temporary workers for up to 30% of the workforce, but the union claims the company is now pushing for 100%. The workers, who have had their health insurance suspended, fear that their jobs will either be replaced entirely by temporary workers, or they will be f ...

Barbara Corcoran Learns Her Heart’s True Desires
In her hilarious and lighthearted book, Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 Into a
Billion Dollar Business, Barbara Corcoran demonstrates the importance of knowing what
you really want out of life (Corcoran & Littlefield, 2011). As her title suggests, Barbara
founded her real estate company, The Corcoran Group, with only $1,000 and some big
dreams. Shortly after founding the company, Barbara took out a piece of paper and wrote
down some big goals for herself and the company. In 1978, she had only 14 sales agents
working for her, who earned a total of $250,000 in commissions. She set a goal of
doubling the number of agents and the commissions every year. So she put down 28 sales
people for 1979, 56 for 1980, and so on, all the way up to 1,792 salespeople in 1985 with
total commissions of $32,000,000. Barbara was amazed when she saw the fantastic sums
projected for 1985, and of course many people, when they see such amazing sums, would
dismiss the calculations as fantasy But as Barbara put it, she went to work the next day
hustling hard for her $32 million.
Real estate agents are paid largely by commission, which is about as close as you
can get to a pure form of contingent reward for performance. However, Barbara didn’t
rely solely on the commissions to motivate her workers. She threw theme parties and held
numerous social events to build a committed workforce. Good sales agents could always
move to another firm, but not every firm had Barbara’s positive attitude and fun-filled
atmosphere. In the early years of the firm, when money was tight, Barbara and her
relatives did the cooking for the outings and parties, and she found clever ways to
entertain people with skating parties and other lively activities. As the firm became larger
and more profitable, she even hired professional entertainers for the company’s midweek
picnics, which included elephant shows, daring rides on hot air balloons, horses, or
Harley Davidsons, etc. Barbara stated “I built my company on pure fun, and believe that
fun is the most underutilized motivational tool in business today. All of my best ideas
came when I was playing outside the office with the people I worked with” (Corcoran &
Littlefield, 2011, p. 283). What did she get in return for the fun atmosphere? She had the
“most profitable real estate company per person in the United States” (p. 284). By the
time she sold her agency in 2001, she had 1,000 agents working for her, and she had the
largest real estate agency in New York – clearly her motivational strategies attracted a
large number of productive employees.
Barbara Corcoran had sold her firm for $66 million. She thought that would make
her happy, but instead, it made her sad. Although she pretended to be happy with her new
wealth and freedom, she was “secretly miserable” (Corcoran & Littlefield, 2011, p. 232).
She had lost her purpose ...

Barriers of therapeutic relationshipThe therapeutic relations.docxrock73
Barriers of therapeutic relationship:
The therapeutic relationship between patient and nurse is often filled with barriers that can generate obstacles for the relationship and, in the end, the health system as a whole (Sfoggia et al.,2014). There are many factors that hinder building a therapeutic relationship: language, professional jargon, communication impairment, and cultural diversity (ibid).
Language:
Language can be an obstacle to nurse-patient communication because a patient may not be able to speak the same language and therefore communication is not possible (Levin,2006). The best way to overcome this barrier is providing a translator who can explain a professional facilitator's message easily to the patient(ibid). For instance, if the nurse only speaks English but the patient is only able to speak Arabic, a translation to the patient of what the professional facilitator is saying leads to less chance of misunderstanding (ibid). Translation also allows a patient to feel comfortable through being able to speak in their own language (ibid).
Medical jargon:
Jargon is a technical language that is comprehended by people in a specific industry or area of work (Leblanc et al.,2014). Health professionals often use jargon to communicate with each other(ibid). For example, T.B. disease stands for tubercle bacillus and HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus (Mccrary & Christensen,1993). Jargon often makes sense to health professionals but a patient who does not understand these acronyms will not understand such communication, leading to a barrier in therapeutic relationship between patient and health professional (Leblanc et al.,2014).
Communication impairment:
Patients with communication impairment such as blindness, deafness and speech impairment often feel isolated, frustrated and self-conscious (O’Halloran et al.,2009). Some patients are born with such disabilities or have developed them as a result of disease (ibid). Therefore, nurses should provide enough time in order to describe any issue to such patients so that they do not feel uncomfortable or censured by health professionals, who must remain impartial (ibid).
Cultural diversity:
Patients often have various differences (Leblanc et al.,2014).Some of these differences are due to a patient's illness, social status, economic class, education and personality(ibid). However, according to Kirkham (1998), the deepest differences might be cultural diversity. Beheri (2009) points out that many nurses believe if they just treat patients with respect, they will avoid most cultural issues. Nevertheless, avoiding misunderstanding can be achieved through some knowledge of cultural customs, which might help and enable nurses to provide better health care to patients (ibid).
Facilitators of therapeutic relationship:
UNCRPD (2006) states that the most fundamental human right in hospital is communication. Patients are required to be provided with an effective communication method by nurs ...

Critical Analysis of the religious nature of Buddhism
The religious community often debates on whether Buddhism is categorized as a religion or as philosophical teaching. The answer to the question varies depending on an individual’s point of view. There are three main types of Buddhism practices across the world with each of them having smaller branches with slights variances in their teachings and beliefs. The different styles of Buddhist mainly encompass Theravada Buddhism, Vajrayana Buddhism, and Mahayana Buddhism. The various forms often have deities that are worshipped while others do not. Some often have scriptures while others do not usually believe in any physical form of the Buddhist teachings. The first article is authored by Rachel, a blogger, presenting the argument that Buddhism is a religion (Rachel, 1). On the other hand, the second article authored by Pamela Winfield recognizes Buddhism as a philosophy. Analyzing and comparing the two pieces having divergent views on the religious nature of Buddhism is crucial for understanding whether it is a religion or philosophy.
Summary of the articles
Rachel in her article considers Buddhism as a religion. The author acknowledges the fact that Mahayana Buddhism which is often found in greater part of Asia that includes Japan, Korea, and China often teaches on attaining enlightenment (Rachel, 1). The Mahayana often accept that every individual wishes to ensure the effective attainment of enlightenment and thus end the cycle of rebirth which others recognize as “Karma.” The article proceeds to state that Buddha is the greatest of the deities but is not worshipped. Instead, Buddha often inspires all those who practice doing as he once did. The author states that Buddhism often requires that the individuals that choose the wrong path attempt to re-accomplish these tasks in their next life alongside other punishments imposed on them by karma. The characteristics of this type of Buddhism thus often play a significant role in showing the religious nature of Buddhism. The author concludes by stating that Buddhism often contains all the different elements of a religion. Moreover, the article associates Buddhism with fallacies that characterize other religions and just as dangerous as other religions as well. A quote proves the claim on the dangerous nature of Buddhism that the author uses to summarize the teachings of Buddhism.
On the other hand, Winfield tends to focus on enlightening the readers on some of the aspects of Buddhism that ensures its a ...

Introduction
Intimate violence is not limited to marital relationships; it
is also present in both dating relationships and occasional
adolescent relationships. Research has revealed disturbing
levels of violence in intimate adolescent relationships. In
these situations and in the case of relationships which
extend over time, violence tends to increase in frequency
and severity, often leading to marital violence.1
Violence in intimate relationships interferes with
adolescent physical, psychological, sexual, reproductive
and social development with consequences for their
physical and social health, not only in the short run, but
also in the medium and long run. Dating violence can be
occasional or continuous, committed by one partner or
both in order to control, dominate and have more power
than the other in the relationship. 2 Trivialization is
common and even romanticising some violent acts. 1
However, consequences may range from personal injury,
u n w a n t e d p r e g n a n c y, a b o r t i o n , g y n a e c o l
o g i c a l
complications, sexually transmitted infections, among
others.
There are different forms of dating violence (psycho-
logical, physical and sexual) and different forms of
violence in the same dating relationship may occur. For
example, verbal attacks may come before aphysical
assault. All forms of dating violence have a common goal:
to hurt, humiliate, control and frighten.3 It is a personal
experience characte rized by feelings of shame, which
keeps the vast majority of adolescents from seeking help.
4. The reasons are fear of being blamed, that the secretwill
not be kept, that adults will pressure them to terminate
the relationship, believingthey will not be helped, fear of
parental punish ment. Their main con dants are friends.
However, the vast majority of these friends do not have
the conditions to give due support, either because they
are also involved in abusive relationships or because
they legitimize a set of beliefs that perpetuate the
phenomenon.4
This study sets out to identify factors that influence
attitudes of adolescent dating violence.
Material and method
This is a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional
descriptive and correlational study. Data was collected
through a questionnaire to characterisesocio-demographics
and dating context and the Scale of Attitudes about Dating
Violence. A non-probabilistic, convenience sample
comprised of 243 adolescents attending the 10th, 11th and
12th years of schooling in a Portuguese public school during
the 2012/2013 academic year. Firstly, the protocol of
measuring instruments was submitted to the Portuguese
government’s General Directorate for Curricular Innovation
and Develop ment. Later, permission from the school’s
administrative body was requested and informed consent
from parents and the students themselves was obtained.
Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical
Package for the Social Sciences® (SPSS version 20.0),
allowing descriptive and inferential statistics to be
prepared.
Results
The study sample consists of 243 adolescents who have a
5. minimum age of 15 years and a maximum of 21 with a mean
age of 16.29 years and a standard deviation of 1.02. The
most prevalent age group is over the age of 17. There isa
greater percentage of girls (56.0%) than boys. The
adolescents live mainly in rural areas (71.2%) and are
mostly Portuguese in nationality (95.9%). Regarding their
year of schooling, most are in the 10th year (48.6%). More
than half of the adolescents live with parents (91.7%). The
vast majority of respondents are Catholic (93.0%). More
than half (58.0%) of the adolescents considered that there
is no right age to initiate sexual activity. 66.7% of
respondents have never had sexual relations; and the
minimum age at which the adolescents initiated sexual
relations was 10 years for males and 12 years for females;
4.9% of the adolescents felt pressured to initiate sexual
activity; 71.6% said they were in love with the person they
had had sex with for the first time; 99.4% of teens are
dating or have dated.
As for violence, the highest means, for either boys or
girls, were for psychological violence (33.57 and 53.00
respectively). It was found that there are statistically
significant differences for all types of male and female
violence (P = .000).
The One-Way ANOVA test was used with the aim of
studying the relationship between age and the type of
violence perpetrated by the students. The analysis shows
that male psychological violence presents a higher
average than the othersfor all ages. Students aged 15 have
a higher mean (33.73) in relation to this type of violence,
while students aged 17 or over have a lower mean (24.35)
with regards to male sexual violence. We emphasize that
female sexual violence, especially in participants aged 15
a n d 1 6 , h a s h i g h m e a n v a l u e s ( 3 1 . 0 0 a n d 3
1 . 2 2 ,
6. respectively). There are no statistically significant
differences (P > .05).
The Mann-Whitney U Test was used to try to verify if
there is a relationship between religion and violence
perpetrated by the participants. The results showed that
non-Catholic students had higher means in every type of
violence, especially male sexual violence (M = 158.26).
Female sexual violence also had a considerable mean
(139.09), followed by male psychological violence
(M = 151.21). In the group of Catholic students, the highest
mean was found for female physical violence (M = 121.81),
followed by female psychological violence (M = 121.73).
Statistically signi cant differences were found (P = .027)
with regards to male sexual violence, suggesting that
religion may influence the tendency for male sexual
violence.
The Mann-Whitney U Test was also used to try to check
for a relationship between students who have already had
sexual relations and the type of violence. Thus, students
who have had sexual intercourse were found to have
higher means in every type of violence, especially male
sexual violence (M = 142.72). This was followed by
male and female psychological violence (M = 140.79 and
M = 139.35, respectively), which leads us to state that this
variable in uences the existence of violent behaviour in
dating.
Teens and dating: study of factors that in uence attitudes of
violence 189
Discussion
7. Violence in intimate relationships occurs from adolescence
and throughout adulthood, often in the context of marriage
or cohabitation —starting during dating— and includes
physical, psychological and sexual violence. A significant
number of adolescents experience violence in dating
relationships, often perceiving it as an act without
relevance. From the social point of view, the phenomenon
of violence in romantic relationships is not isolated, being
recognized as something complex that needs an effective
intervention. 5 Intervening means lowering rates of
aggression and the changing attitudes of its justi ability.6
Based on empirical study, it was found that gender was
a variable that interfered with dating violence. Male
participants presented higher means in every type of
violence, with the highest mean value for psychological
violence. Statistically signi cant differences were found
for any type of male and female violence. These results
con rm the evidence found in other studies, such as.7-9
A c c o r d i n g t o t h e s e a u t h o r s , t h e r e a r e s i g
n i f i c a n t
differences in the violence perpetrated by male students
compared to females. Moreover, the same authors report
that male and female psychological violence is the most
obvious, which is in line with data obtained in our study.
Also found that sexual violence is mostly perpetrated by
adolescent males.7 The authors maintain that the boys
had significantly higher levels of tolerance for various
forms of violence, whether these were perpetrated by
boys or girls. This superior legitimacy has been found in
different studies and by different authors,8-10 and has been
explained in particu lar by the fact that boys are socialized
towards more aggressiveness in their interpersonal
relationships.
Another result was that the religion variable in uenced
8. the tendency for male sexual violence. Non-Catholic
students had higher means in all types of violence,
especially male sexual violence. Female sexual violence
a l s o h a d a c o n s i d e r a b l e m e a n , f o l l o w e d b
y m a l e
psychological violence. In the group of Catholic students,
the highest mean value is for physical violence and female
psychological violence.
As for the adolescents’ age, younger ones (aged 15 and
16) have higher rates of violence. In this context, we
emphasize the study developed by11 which shows that the
legitimization of violence appears to be higher among
younger adolescents with lower education and boys who
are educated to be stronger, emotionally inexpressive,
competitive and domineering with regards to their
partners.
Continuing with the results obtained in this study, we
noted the existence of statistically signi cant differences
in all types of violence in adolescents who had already had
sex, especially male sexual violence, followed by male and
female psychological violence. These results corroborate
t h o s e o f 2 i n t h a t t h e a u t h o r s a l s o c o n c l u d
e d t h a t
adolescents, especially males, in secondary school who
have started their sexual activity are more prone to violent
behaviour in romantic relationships. Violence prevention
within intimate relationships presupposes the development
of commu nication skills during adolescents’ educational
process. The debates on violence in general, violence in
intimate relationships and gender equality using active
methods should be part of the curricula and trans-
disciplinary. Only with coherent and consistent educational
policies in these matters will adolescents’ empowerment
9. be achieved, enabling them to say no to all types of
violence.
What we know about the theme
Violence in intimate relationships in adolescence
includes acts of physical, emotional, and sexual
aggression, abuse and other controlling behaviors
during a dating relationship. It happens all around the
world, being so transversal to all cultures, demanding
answers by both citizens, political and judicial power.
What we get out the study
The study reveals that the attitudes of teenagers
towards violence in dating relationships is strongly
in uenced by gender (predominantly males), by the
religion they practice and the fact that they have
already initiated sexual intercourse. The type of
violence mainly exerted was psychological. This set
of variables must be considered in the educational
process of the adolescent.
