VIOLENCE, ABUSE, AND HARASSMENT

Perspectives on Violence, Abuse, and Harassment Socio-cultural Issues.

Cultural difference in values, attitudes, and behavioral norms across ethnic and racial group must be considered in any examination of violence. Unfortunately, data are scarce in this area. Overall , it has proved difficult to assess attitudes toward rape and other violent crimes. Some studies indicate that the public tends to blame victims of rape, rather than those who commit the violent act. In some cases, people believe the violence was justified.

      Cultural attitudes about violence toward women may be based on societal acceptance of male dominance. In many cultures , both men and women believe that a man has the right to control his wile's and daughter's behavior and that disobedient women  should be punished. By legitimizing these acts of violence, cultures perpetuate violence against women. Women are particularly vulnerable to abuse by their partners in societies where there arc marked inequalities between men and women, rigid gender roles, weak sanctions against violent behavior, and cultural norms that  support a man's  right to sex regardless of a woman's feelings. Studies around the world have identified a list of events that seem to trigger violence in intimate relationship.

   Society's tolerance of rape between intimate partners, especially married partners is an important dimension of violence. Many people believe that marriage affords men the right to sex with their wives at any time. If the wife refuses, the husband can force her to have sex or punish her through violent means. Blaming the victim is a key concept in relationship fault or that they deserved punishment may not report a rape-Certain factors, including a women's style of dress, her relationship with the assailant, evidence of colonial-era Indian wars. Indeed, English women who had been held captive reported no such treatment.

Pregnancy and Fertilization Process

Process of  Fertilization  . About the tenth day after the beginning of the average woman's regular menstrual period an ovum that has developed in one of her two ovaries is stimulated by hormones and enters a sudden period of growth  that continues for three or four days. By the end of the thirteenth or fourth teen day of growth ovum is mature. It is encased in a sac of fluid and floats to the surface of the ovary. The sac ruptures and releases the ovum into the Fallopian tube. Millions of feathery hair in the Fallopian tube sweep around the ovum and gently move it towards the uterus. This release of the ovum from the ovary is called ovulation.
