...presented by the American Professional Society on Abuse of Children (APSAC, 2002): “[Emotional abuse is] a repeated pattern of caregiver behavior or a serious incident that transmits to the child that s/he is worthless, flawed, unloved, unwanted, endangered, or only of value in meeting another’s needs” (Myers et al., 2002; Spinazzola et al., 2014; Wolfe & McIsaac, 2010; Glaser, 2011; Baker, Brassard, Schneiderman, Donnelly, & Bahl, 2011; Hibbard et al., 2012). While researchers and professionals agree that emotional abuse is a pervasive problem, studies and child welfare agencies report inconsistent rates of emotional abuse in childhood, some as low as 7.6% and others as high as 80% in the United States (Children’s Bureau, 2010; Clement & Chamberland, 2007). The largest national study available, conducted by Briggs et al. (2013), sampled 11,104 children and adolescents (aged 0-18) and identified 37.6% with a history of emotional abuse (Briggs et al., 2013). In terms of this assignment, there were no studies available to reflect the prevalence of emotional abuse in middle childhood exclusively. Further research must be conducted to refine the estimated prevalence of emotional abuse in childhood at various stages of development (early or middle childhood, infancy, adolescence, etc.) and establish interventions and prevention strategies based on age-related risk factors in various stages of childhood to minimize the long-term effects of emotional abuse. Nevertheless, the aforementioned...

...| Domestic Violence | A Personal Account | | Gloria Dickerson | 3/14/2014 | | Domestic Violence: A Personal Account When we think about domestic violence we think of the physically abusive husband and the docile abused women. We may think of the children involved but that is where most of us stop. However, this type of violence has a much further reach then those that live in the walls of the home that the abuse takes place in. During this report we will look at the different perspectives and roles of the media and society as a whole. We will focus on the victim of the abuse rather than the abuser by getting a firsthand report of not only a woman who escaped over fifteen years of abuse. One of the first things we must do is look at what is domestic violence. The very term implies a physical violence, however we know that the term encompasses much more. Physical violence is just one aspect of how a domestic partner can do harm. Verbal abuse is said by some to be more harmful then the physical. Continually being told you are worthless or good for nothing would be very hard for a spouse or child to move past. When looking at today’s view or classification of domestic violence we must look at what the past tells us about society’s perceptions of this crime. (Schaefer). We have to realize one of the problems with solving this problem is that some still do not see it as a crime. Laws prohibiting spousal abuse have been around since the 1600’s, however...

...The lesson we can derive from this case is that outsourcing is not just a wage difference between two places but skills and attitudes. Finally, there are a large number of US companies buying professional services from Asian countries. Clearly, skilled workers will be found and hired wherever they are. Countries, such as, India, Pakistan and China are good labor pools (Prahalad 2005.) It follows that multinational and global companies will find skilled labor overseas and start operations or buy services in foreign lands. Qua hay The influence of outsourcing should be recognized. Whirlpool, for instance, has a global network, supplies washing machines from Germany, and microwave ovens designed in Sweden that are and made in China while other appliances come from Brazil. Global companies develop first-rate centers of production and design in various countries. Countries that are abundant in human capital with a supplier base have a chance to become first-rate centers. Within this framework, designed to promote a global network, financing depends on corporate profits and funds owned by prospective partners. Du Pont, for instance, raises funds through joint ventures but retains corporate control by retaining at least 51% of the share. The importance of outsourcing and globalization is that some market imperfections are removed. When imperfections are removed, prices converge. This means that factor price differentials in...
