Cheaters
The document discusses the concept of cheating in relationships and provides examples from television shows and movies that involve infidelity or affairs. It defines cheating as breaking the established rules of a romantic partnership, often through having a sexual or emotional relationship with someone other than one's spouse or significant other. The TV show "Cheaters" and movies "Fatal Attraction" and "The English Patient" are used to illustrate themes of deception, obsession, and the consequences that can arise from extramarital affairs. Accompanying discussion questions prompt views on forgiving infidelity and the potential dangers and outcomes of unfaithfulness.
Five important domestic violence facts
1. Domestic violence is common, with a woman beaten every 9 seconds and 10 million people abused per year by a significant other. Intimate partner violence makes up 15% of all violent crimes.
2. Both men and women can be victims of domestic violence, with studies finding 40% of victims are men and 1 in 4 men having been in abusive relationships.
3. Victims often face blame and questions about what they did to provoke the abuse, but there is never an excuse for violence in a relationship. Leaving an abusive situation is also difficult due to fears about lack of financial security or the abuser's reaction.
