"APPLICATION OF FAIR PLAY GUIDELINES IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Introduction
Over the past three decades, once abnormal and abhorred behaviours have become the norm in sports arenas ?- both on the field and in the stands ?- in many parts of the world. Some observers attribute the behavioural decline to the democratisation of sport wherein control over games passed to lower social orders (Butcher & Schneider, 1998), while others attribute behavioural deterioration in sports to moral decay in the broader society (Peiser, 1995).

An argument stemming from the first explanation is that reprehensible behaviour spreads from commercial athletes (it is the utmost foolishness to refer to such athletes as professionals) to young people in schools as school athletes ..."

Abstract
This research project reviews and analyzes available data on domestic violence in an effort to ascertain whether there is a direct relationship between certain types of mental health problems and childhood sexual and/or physical abuse. The paper focuses on both physical and sexual abuse and concludes that people who experience serious mental health problems, including depression, anxiety disorders, post traumatic stress disorder, personality disorders, sexual dysfunction, eating disorders, and dissociative disorders are suffering from these problems because they were also the victims of childhood sexual and/or physical abuse. Most of the data gathered is based on studies done in New Zealand and Australia. A "Childhood Maltreatment Interview Schedule" is appended to the paper.

From the Paper
"Many people throughout the world have traditionally believed that women's natural roles were as mothers and wives and considered women to be better suited for childbearing and homemaking than for involvement in the public life of business or politics. This popular belief that women were somehow intellectually inferior to men, based in large part on religious authority, has led many societies throughout the world to limit women's education to learning domestic skills and relegating them to a second-class citizen status. By and large, the world has been run by well-educated, upper-class men who controlled most positions of employment and power in these societies and to a large extent continue to do so today. While the status of women today varies dramatically in different countries and, in some cases, among groups within the same country, such as ethnic groups or economic classes, women continue to experience the effects of this oppressive religious dogma as it relates to their lives."
