5 Claims

Claim of Fact:
The issue of domestic violence is a topic that affects 3.3 million children a year and about 5 million women and men aswell every year. These are horrendous statistics that unfortunately our society has to face in a daily basis.

Claim of Defenition:
Out of the 3.3 million children affected, about 75% of them are psychologically abused while the other 25% are both psychologically and physically abused everyday. Depending on the way the reader defines domestic violence, would be what determines how big the number of abused children really is. If physical abuse is all that matters to the reader, than the 3.3 million will decrease dramatically but it will still be an alarming number.

Claim of Cause:
Usually many children that end up being physically abused happens after they try to defend the parent that is being the victim at the time. This reaction causes the abuser to take out the rest of his anger in the most innocent person around.

Claim of Value:
To me, the issue of domestic violence is very important because I was at some point in my life a witness of domestic abuse done to my mom by my dad. Even though he never laid a hand on me to hurt me, The plain sight of seeing my mom suffer was the worst experience for me ever.

Claim of Policy:
All victims of domestic abuse should seek the legal help available out there for them. Police will ensure that the abuser gets take care of, and lawyers can ensure you are safe and compensated for the horrible times that the victim has had.

Response to Ethos, Pathos, and Logos.

I still have not received any comments regarding my ethos, pathos and logos but I trully beleive that maybe I could have used a bit more logos in my wrtting. Throughout my writting, I talk alot about how the issue of domestic violence can affect the reader emothionally and I show credibility through statistics, but I use very few logos. If anyone has any other info for me regarding my ethos, pathos, or logos please advice.

Children affected by Domestic abuse.(Ethos,Pathos,Logos)

Every year about 3.3 million children witness violence in their own homes. Out of those 3.3 million children, 75% of then end up being physically hurt by the abuser. The problem with these statistics is that the majority of these kids will end up traumatized and also the majority of them will end up becoming the abuser or a victim again in their future relationship. If the statistics are not scary enough, only about10% of the victims will seek professional help or help from the proper authorities creating the though in the children that violence is perfectly ok. People should not allow any kid to witness such violence at home, although there is an enormous amount of violence in the streets, nothing traumatizes a kid as much as them witnessing their loved ones being affected by it. Many might have children now or will have children in the future and I'm sure non of you will want your children to suffer any king of emotional or physical trauma from their own parents.

Back Ground

As a young child I witnessed my dad verbally abuse my mom for a very long time. My dad will insult my mom and humiliate her as much as he could. It really hurt to see my mom suffer and cry on a daily basis but what hurt the most was being unable to do anything to help her. Fear towards my dad prevented me from saying anything to him or doing anything to make him stop. I always hoped that at some point he would get tired of his actions and stop, but as the years went by things just got worst. It started off with verbal abuse but then those words turn to physical assaults. He never hit her in the face but he did push her and grasped her with force. He never hit me but to me it was a lot more painful to see my mom suffer. I would much have rather taken the beating my self. Finally one day, my dad decided to leave the house and asked for a divorce. As a young child I didnt understand why my dad would not come back home. I was happy about the fact though because my mom was no longer suffering. It had been a long time since I had seen my mom smiling. My dad was no longer home but we finally lived a peaceful life. It took a long time for me to be able to talk or even seen my dad but I eventually did. It was hard and awkward at first. That was probably one of the hardest steps I had to take in my life but I can honestly say I felt good about that step. Now, many years later, I have a great relationship with both of my parents. I doubt that that would be the case if my parents had not divorced and stoped all the violence.

Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse is a big problem in he United States that many fail to notice. There are over 2 million victims of domestic abuse every year that fail to speak up because of fear towards the abuser, fear to split up a family and force their children to live with only one parent, or even fear to seek for help. The reality of all is that there are many organizations that are out there which main purpose is to help out those victims of domestic abuse. It is also known that children tend to be better off when living in a home with one parent but free of violence rather than living with both and having to face violence in a daily basis.
