By BaronPublished 3 years ago 5 min read

Violence can be described in different ways from different aspects, with the following four different expressions:

The main forms of violence:

1. Physical violence: aggression against any part of the body, such as pushing, punching, kicking, biting, pulling, slapping, pulling hair, or using objects to injure the body, such as stabbing, hitting with a belt, or burning a cigarette;

2. Sexual violence: when the other party does not agree, threatening the other party with violent means to have sex, or mutilating the other party's sexual organs and other sexual assault;

3. Spiritual violence: through abusive, belittle, intimidation, slander and other ways, directly affect each other's self-esteem and self-confidence, the use of deliberately cold or refuse to communicate, do not allow each other to contact with the outside world, do not give medical treatment, do not want to divorce and other means of mental torture each other, forcing each other to do do not want to do;

4. Economic control: through the control of money, property, time, transportation, food, clothing and housing in the family, restrict the freedom of action and will of the other party, cause the other party's physical and mental dependence, to achieve the purpose of controlling the other party.

When domestic violence occurs, it usually exists in many forms, which causes great physical and mental harm to women.

The relationship between violent parties is as follows:

Marital violence, violence against the wife, parental violence, violence against children (including minor and adult children against the elderly)

The specific identities of violent parties are divided as follows:

In addition to the general population, they also include pregnant women, mothers of infants and young children, women with induced abortion, female patients with infertility, men with sexual dysfunction, patients with mental illness and their families, and patients with depression and their families.

Physical violence can be divided into minor violence and serious violence by specific actions or methods:

Minor violence: throwing objects, pushing, pulling, high-fiving or spanking; Severe violence: kicking, biting, striking, hitting with bare hands or objects, beating, beating, beating, choking, burning, scalding, threatening with knives and guns, etc.

So that's a simple explanation of the manifestations of violence. What is "common couple violence"?

Johnson said very clearly, in the intimate relationship (formal marriage, cohabitation and dating relationship), often in conflict situations, the amount of conflict is not big, generally is reasonable, and verbal attacks, including some slight physical violence, rarely development to clip with great gun took the life of people, that is to say, the conflict of two people, There was no sense of serious violence to solve the problem.

This is just plain old spousal violence.

Why is there violence between partners?

Everyone agreed with intimate relationship should be a relationship of equality, but in our real life, the relationship between the lovers, lover is very unequal, because the right to existence of inequality, man controls the more social resources, with greater decision-making power, is in dominant position, the woman is in a disadvantage in the relationship.

Social norms support and maintain the dominance of men. Gender stereotypes assume that men are more decisive than women, and men have more authority and ability than women. As a result, women's abilities and expertise have been ignored and suppressed by social realities.

Therefore, from the social perspective of gender relations, men's discrimination and prejudice against women is a universal objective fact in all fields of human life. In the large social and cultural background, men are still in the dominant position in the society, exercising control and domination over women.

In the field of family life, domestic violence reflects the power control relationship between the abuser and the victim. Through the exercise of violence, the abuser shows his power to the victim and makes the victim submit and fear, so as to realize and maintain the domination and control over the victim. The main culprits of domestic violence are often men.

How to identify the evolution of violence? It can't be done, and this question has no practical significance, because the behavior of violence is also dynamic, and there are a lot of complex situational factors to refer to, and it can only be said in what circumstances, violence does not develop out of control. As mentioned earlier, ordinary mild violence is often aimed at ending the conflict rather than controlling the other party, and only serious forms of aggression involve controlling and dominating the other party.

Generally, in cultures that promote gender equality, violence is less likely to occur. In intimate relationships, if a man has enough sense of equality, he will not hit a woman; Second, partners who have problem-solving skills and are good at listening and communicating are less likely to be violent. Couples who are more satisfied with their relationships are also less likely to create conflict and cause problems for their partners.

People with the following characteristics are more likely to be violent than the general population. These include:

1. People with low intelligence. This kind of person because of the low level of intellectual development, can only be engaged in simple work, the change of the environment is slower, the coordination of action is poor, easy to inferiority and temper;

2. Someone who irritates easily. This kind of person is irritable, poor patience, strong desire to control, whether you provoke him or not, you are wrong, will periodically break out bad emotions;

3. A person with a paranoid personality. Most of these people are self-centered, sensitive and suspicious. They always suspect that others are up to no good, and they don't accept others' feelings.

4. A person with a personality disorder. Easy to exaggerate the fact, lack of sense of security, lying at will, like fantasy, can not experience the feelings of others, the emotional outbreak of the six brothers and sisters;

5. People who use alcohol and drugs. Alcoholism and drug abuse easily lead to personality regression, it is difficult to control their words and deeds, as soon as there is a need to achieve, there is no way to wait, often rely on intimidation, beating and abusing family members, to maintain their self-esteem.

It is important to keep a safe distance from these people, who often lack logic and irrationality in their thinking, making it difficult to communicate through normal channels.

So when it comes to identifying people who are prone to serious violence, the above description can serve as a guide.
