"Abstract
Feminist theory holds that incidents of domestic violence are the result of an ongoing patriarchal social system. This system has created a dichotomous notion of acceptable behavior, as men take their power for granted and work to maintain it with little conscious thought. Much abuse goes unnoticed because it consists of psychological abuse, which leaves no visible scars on the victim and may not be performed consciously by the offender. A nationwide sample of adults was examined about their attitudes on domestic abuse in their personal relationships, and the responses of men and women were compared to determine whether such a drastically different perspective exists.

Precipitating Factors of Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence Not Restricted to Specific Social Groups
Steps to Prevent the Malady
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Domestic violence is one of the greatest threats to the life and health of women and to a lesser extent, men throughout the world and is a despicable phenomenon that is witnessed in all cultures and nations irrespective of the amount of social progress that a country has to its credit. In fact, it may be seen that the incidents of domestic violence is seen more in advanced countries than less developed nations. Studies which had been carried through many years by Chassin, Laurie, Curran, Patrick J., Hussong, Andrea M., Colder, Craig R, (1996) and Finn, Peter R., Sharkansky, Erica J., Viken, Richard, West, Tara L., Sandy, Jamie, Bufferd, Gary M, (1997), suggests that there are many predisposing factors that precipitate domestic violence. Factors like lack of education, alcohol abuse, poverty, cultural restrictions etc were thought to be factors that induced people to commit domestic crimes."

Outline:
Introduction
Preliminary Literature Review
From the Paper
"Today, Ireland is the most digitally connected nation in the world and much progress has been made in recent years concerning the status of women. Nevertheless, a number of social problems remain, with one of the most upsetting, at least to the author, is domestic violence. The past decade has seen greatly increased numbers of women who have jobs and have their own money, as well as more houses and apartments being built. Anecdotal evidence from newspapers, magazines and broadcast media would suggest however, that there is still a problem with homelessness among both men and women. Since the reasons that people become homeless appear to be many, the decision was made to focus on one specific area and time period to identify to what extent, if any, domestic violence and homelessness are related.

Abstract
The paper discusses how many women in our society are abused in the domestic sphere, as well as suffer from a dependency on alcohol. The paper highlights how social institutions need to change in order for women to start having a greater sense of their own identity. The paper explains that this would be directly connected to lowering the chances of women being victims of domestic abuse and becoming dependent on drugs and alcohol.
From the Paper
"Today, many women in our society are abused in the domestic sphere, as well as suffer from a dependency on alcohol. For instance, one third of all alcoholics are women. In this context, it is important to point out that alcoholism has traditionally been seen as a greater shame for women than for men. Indeed, in the past, most women were in the home and that is why alcoholism was less likely to be identified in women. But overall, women were perceived to be more "moral" than men, and they were held up to a higher ideal. It is important to understand this cultural aspect, since it leads us to understand how a sociological perspective can ultimately help women who are victims of domestic violence and alcohol abuse."

Introduction
KidsCampaign (1998), a national foster care organization, reported that of all the recent trends in child welfare, perhaps none has been more troubling than the increase in cases of child abuse and neglect resulting from parental abuse of alcohol and drugs.

It is further reported by the organization that research conducted by the Child Welfare League of America and other organizations have found that substance abuse to be a factor in at least 75 percent of all placements in out-of-home care. It is..."

Abstract
This essay reviews a text by Arat-Koc that explains changes in Canadian society towards female participation in the workforce, (as well as inadequate arrangements for child care, and how this has produced reliance on foreign domestic employees in the homes of those who are able to afford them. Arat-Koc estimates that the demand for domestic workers, often from Third World countries, will increase, and without careful examination of the conditions under which these women work or scrutiny of the implications of the temporary work visas under which they are admitted to Canada. Foreign workers continue to fill the gaps in the Canadian domestic sphere although there is need for clarification of their safety, working in relative isolation as they do, within private homes, and the likelihood of exploitation.)

"This is an area where family therapy can be especially facilitative. For families in which self-expression is considered a weakness, an empowerment approach can help define the family in terms of the unique forms, structures, and roles that clients are actually immersed in or are attempting to renegotiate, rather than in terms of an ideal unit. Clients should be supported in defining their families for themselves and then in using creative outreach strategies to actively involve the identified members in a variety of family sessions."
