This document discusses views on child abuse from anthropological, psychological, and sociological perspectives. It begins by defining different types of child abuse and distinguishing it from child discipline. The research question asks why child abuse occurs and how it impacts victims. Psychologically, child abuse increases risks of mental health issues. Victims often experience poor relationships and social isolation. Sociologically, child abuse may be linked to factors like learned behavior from parents, social norms, family dynamics, and life stressors. Both nature and nurture may influence why some adults abuse children.
Child abuse or child maltreatment is physical, sexual, or psychological maltreatment or neglect of a child or children, especially by a parent or other caregiver. Child abuse may include any act or failure to act by a parent or other caregiver that results in actual or potential harm to a child, and can occur in a child's home, or in the organizations, schools or communities the child interacts with.

The present study made an attempt to gain insights on determinants and psychosocial consequences of early marriage on rural women. Samples of 300 women who married early and have completed 5 to 15 years of married life were taken from 20 villages of district Bhilwara, Rajasthan as it has highest instances of child marriages. In depth investigation employed the use of interview, FGDs, observation and case study method. Research was based in district. Baseline Proforma and SES scale (self developed) was used to get the necessary details regarding the socio-economic status and demographic characteristics of respondents and their families. DEM scale (self developed), PSC Scale (self developed) and life satisfaction scale (Alam & Shrivastava, 1973) were used for data collection. Statistical test i.e. ‘z’ test, ANOVA, Regression & Pearson’s ‘r’ were applied to find out the results.
The findings of the study revealed that age at marriage is governed by various components of socio-economic status with traditions & customs, lack of education, childhood residence and castes. Effect of mass media was not found as hypothesized. Media is only meant for entertainment by rural people. The study also highlighted psycho-social consequences (PSC components) of early marriage. It was found that child marriage increases exploitation of girl child and loss of her adolescence along with denial of education & freedom, inadequate socialization & personal development and violence & abandonment. Access to contraception is highly correlated with age at marriage i.e. the lower the age at marriage lower the knowledge and less access of contraception.
The multiple regression analysis in predicting age at marriage and its determinants reveal that the Beta coefficient reflect the socio- economic status of the family and in which a girl belongs has more considerable contribution in terms of early marriage while traditions and customs follow the socio-cultural perseverance in predicting age at marriage. It is also depicted from the regression analysis that the ill consequences of early marriage in earlier ages have more awful effects on girl child. On the whole, it was found that early marriage itself means exploitation of girl child and loss of adolescence. This factor is highly significant in all studied age groups. They are treated as homely bird which means confined to four walls of house. Overall dissatisfaction level is high with the respondents who get married at the early age. There are significant correlation found between determinants and psycho-social consequences of early marriage and inter-correlation among LS and SES components.
child abuse is becoming a big problem now a days. As a physician we all around the world must feel responsibility to describe what is child abuse. sometimes we think that abuse is just when we hit a child!!

Child abuse is estimated to affect one in four homes. Due to cultural
stigmas, many do not get reported, yet the effect of child sex abuse to
victims and survivors is so devastating, they kept it to themselves and
many times they bring to their grave without being healed or being
whole in their lifetime. This presentation intends to answer key
questions related to child sex abuse, and its consequence prevention
and treatment. It also intends to take a look at the child sex abuser and
the occasional presence of co-dependents, who make perpetrators
bolder in their acts.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

64. • Slide 1
• For those of you who don’t know, our names are Yumna, Nida, and Sahifa and the topic we are going to be discussing today is child abuse. This is a very sensitive topic so we would really appreciate your respect and would like to thank you in advance. Now, many people cannot differentiate between child abuse and child discipline so we will startoff my distinguishing these two ideas. Keep in mind that the definition is not exactas it does vary from culture to culture.
• Slide 3
• Child abuse is an unexpected form of mistreatment of a child whereby the survival, safety, self-esteem, growth, and development of the child areendangered. Their development includes not only physical but also social, emotional, behavioural, intellectual and so on and so forth.
• Slide 4
• Child discipline is an expected parental response to specific misbehaviour or failure of a child to meet expectations. With respect to this idea, the child is well awareof their expectations as well as the accompanying consequences unlike child abuse which is unpredictable. There arefour forms of child abuse, does anyone know what they are? [class] The four forms of child abuse arephysical, sexual, emotional, and neglectful.
• Slide 5
• Physical child abuse is any non-accidental physical injury (such as punching, beating, kicking, biting, or burning) that a child sustains at the hands of an adult. This is the most visible form of child abuse.
• Slide 6
• Sexual child abuse is any sexual act(such as touching, molestation, pornography, or prostitution) with a child performed by an adult.
• Slide 7
• Emotional child abuse is when an adult holds a pattern of negative behaviour (such as ignoring, rejecting, terrorizing, or verbally abusing) that interferes with a child’s mental development.
• Slide 8
• Neglectful child abuse which is also simply known as child neglect, is when an adult holds a pattern of lacking or failing to provide for a child’s basic needs such as adequate food, clothing, hygiene, shelter, and supervision.
• Slide 9
• Our research question is actually a two-part question because the ideas tie into one another. Why does the issue of child abuse occur and how does it impact the victims? The reason we were motivated to research the topic of child abuse is because it is an issue that has a significantimpact on society as a whole.
• The children of today arethe adults of tomorrow. Victims of child abuse grow to be emotionally, and often physically, scarred.They enter adulthood without any appropriate guidance and become involved in things like criminal activity, drug and alcohol abuse, and inappropriate sexual behaviour, amongst other things, as a wayto cope with all the pastnegativity in their lives.
• This is what has a continual downfall on our society. So really, this issue affects us all in one way or another – not just those who are poor and unfortunate. We all need to be awareof how serious it is and then help prevent is. We areall greatly impacted by the issue of child abuse whether we know it yet or not, and that is the reason why our group was interested in researching it.
• Slide 10
• For a hypothesis, we cameup with many reasons for why child abuse may occur. For example, the abuser was abused as a child or had poor childhood experiences and feels as though it is appropriate to imitate those acts.
• The abuser suffers from a mental disorder including anger management issues or is stressed financially or emotionally and lashes out without meaning to.
• The abuser is under alcohol or drug influence. Or believes that abusing a child for punishment or discipline is part of the abuser’s culture.
• The abuser lacks parental skills and doesn’t understand that it isn’t morally or legally correct to abuse a child. All of these are reasons for why we believe child abuse occurs.
• As for the impact on the victim, we hypothesize that they will suffer physically, however they will be affected psychologically a lot more. They will be burdened with mental disorders such as PTSD and will create a fear of adults or people in general. They will also be impacted by being unable to deal with society.
65. • Slide 18
• When it comes to the psychological perspective of child abuse, the two primarythings we can focus on arethe psychological impact on the victims of child abuse and the psychological reasoning behind why child abuse occurs.We can also look at psychological child abuse alone in more depth.
• Slide 19
• Statistics show that of the four forms of child abuse, emotional child abuse occurs the least yet holds the largestamount of psychological impact. Here are the statistics for the victims of child abuse. As you can see, emotional child abuse affects a mere 15 percent of child abuse victims. However, it has the greatest effecton them in terms of their psychological and mental health.
• Slide 20
• A victim of psychological child abuse can be a feral.This is an unwanted child deserted at a young ageand raised by animals. An example of a feral is Oxanna, a Ukrainian girl. She was the neglected child of alcoholic parents who spent most of her life between the ages of three and eight living and interacting with dogs. This five-year interaction left her afraid of humans and she actually exhibited dog-like behaviour. She barked, moved on all fours,and drank from a bowl. Ferals areof particular interest to psychologists because they lack basic skills and rather, develop mentally to imitate the behaviours of their animal guardian(s).
• Slide 21
• A victim of psychological child abuse can also be an isolate. This is a child raised in near isolation within a human household. The most famous isolate caseis Genie who lived most of her firstthirteen years strapped to a potty chair with little or no human contact. She experienced extreme neglect and psychological abuse. This held a negative impact on her developing brain and caused it to be significantly smaller than averagewhich ultimately led to her abnormal behaviours. I will talk more about the brains of child abuse victims in a bit.
• Slide 22
• Children who have been psychologically abused suffer from anxiety, depression, and suicidal behaviour at a rate that is three times higher than children who arephysically or sexually abused. Physical and sexual abuse have to occur at the same time to have the sameeffect as psychological abuse alone.
• Slide 23
• There was a field study done by a youth centre in Quebec in 2012.A total of 1032 children under the age of 18 were identified as victims of psychological abuse. Of these children, 47 percent were simply exposed to forms of violence whether it be through the form of the internet, video games, or domestic violence. 25 percent were victims of rejection, denigration, disapproval, or verbal abuse. 16 percent suffered from the emotional indifference of their parents or were ignored by them. And 12 percent were threatened with abuse or terrorized.
• Slide 24
• When we are young, our entire world revolves around our parents or guardians. The relationship a child has with their parents or guardians is the most primary. But when this primaryrelationship is full of betrayal, a negative set of beliefs develops and affects an individual greatly. Child abuse victims experience long-term psychological trauma throughout their entire life even in the much later years.
• Slide 25
• Have you heard the saying “the years before five lastthe rest of their lives”? This is a very true idea because the brain develops at a very fastpace during the early developmental stages of childhood. Meeting a child’s needs during these early stages creates emotional stability and security that is needed for healthy brain development. However, repeated exposure to stressful events can affectthe brain’s stress response and this is what ultimately leads to psychological disorders.
• Slide 26
• Almost 80 percent of adults reporting child abuse and neglect have at least one psychological disorder in their lifetime and nearly 50 percent have three or more psychological disorders.
• Slide 27
• Research has found that child abuse contributes to the likelihood of addictions, nightmares, eating disorders, sexual disorders, and a number of other psychological disorders. Some of these include: anxiety disorders such as phobias, personality disorders such as dissociation, and mood disorders such as major depressive disorder. These arejust a few psychological impacts. The harsh reality is that the list goes on.
• Slide 28
• To summarize,child abuse victims demonstrate poor long-term mental health. They are almost three times as likely to have poor mental health outcomes and four times more likely to be unhappy in life than the averageperson.
• Slide 29
• Child abuse victims demonstrate negative relationships. There is higher prevalence of broken relationships and lower rate of marriage.
• Slide30
• Child abuse victims demonstrate isolation and social disconnection. There is a decreased level of social support and an increased risk of living alone.
• Slide 31
• Finally, child abuse victims demonstrate behavioural health effects. They arealmost five times as likely as the average person to be associated with suicidal behaviour and the increased likelihood of smoking, substance abuse, and physical inactivity. The long-term effects and psychological scars child abuse victims have can interfere with day-to-day functioning. However, it is possible to live a full and satisfactorylife.So what is the psychological reasoning behind why child abuse occurs?
• Slide 32
• Well this can be analyzed and answered with the nature vs nurture concept. Some parents areborn with the natural tendency to abuse others while others are conditioned to do so based on their own experiences with abuse. This concept is divided almost equally amongst the perpetrators of child abuse. Almost 50 percent of parents who abuse their children were abused when they were children while the other 50 percent were born with psychological disadvantages (such as schizophrenia which is one of the leading genetic causes) that forced them to behave the way they do.
• Slide 33
• Another psychological reason behind why child abuse occurs is because the perpetrator is battling their own psychological trauma and often loses their temper, lashing out without intending to. 70% of perpetrators claim that they do not intend to hurt the child and that in fact, they don’t even notice.
• Slide 34
• Other psychological reasoning for why child abuse occurs is because the perpetrator does not know how to carefor or discipline a child, they expect behaviour that is unrealistic for a child’s ageor ability, they are stressed financially or emotionally, or they abuse alcohol or other drugs as their own coping method and this also results in losing control and abusing their child. In many cases, child abuse occurs as a result of an unplanned pregnancy.
• Slide 35
• In the United States alone, at least five children die every day as a result of child abuse. More than 80% areless than two years of age.
• Slide 36
• And those who survive, they areimpacted not only in terms of their mental health but also in terms of their financial stability. In 2008 alone, the long-term financial impact of child abuse and neglect (including health carecosts and special education costs) added up to 124 billion dollars. This is enough money to send 1.7 million children to college or university. If this factdoesn’t get you thinking about how much child abuse victims suffer,I don’t know what will. Thank you for listening.
