...Teen Dating Violence PS 315- Instructor Cotchery F 5:00-10:00 Park University Abstract This research paper is being presented to examine if adolescents are most at risk for abusing and assaulting their dating partners because there is a direct or an intermediary association from exposure to dysfunctional behavior at home, at school, or in their community. I am going to write this paper by doing research on the internet and looking through books and journals at my local library. These influences not only affect how youths behave, but also what they believe about acceptable forms of behavior in their relationships. Theories of Personality According to Campbell (2007) dating violence is defined as the perpetration or threat of an act of violence by at least one member of an unmarried couple on the other member within the context of dating courtship. This also includes dating between same sex couples, although most statistics have been gathered from heterosexual couples. Teen dating violence differs from adult domestic violence in that when a teenager is abused, she or he becomes isolated from their peers due to the controlling behavior of the partner. Intimate partner violence among adolescents is associated with an increased risk of substance use, unhealthy weight control behaviors, sexual risk behaviors, suicide and pregnancy. (Dobash, 2000) According to Dutton (1995) teenage victims of dating violence are more likely than their peers who...

...domains, including externalizing and internalizing problems, posttraumatic stress symptoms, and lower social competence and academic achievement” (p. 831). Yet, with the youth being housed in domestic violence shelters along side their mother’s, one may think that their behavior would turn from being negative more into a positive outcome which would lead to less social impediments. Besides, this article will impact my research by highlighting how their living conditions in the shelters stimulate the cause-and-effect of psychosis in domestic violence with them being the antagonist. Even though, they are victims of this behavior, the added question remains and that is how does the intervention that is offered transform them? For the simple fact, the resolve of intervention methods should serve as a buffer to aid in the healing process for those who have encountered this type of behavior. Claiborne, L. 2008.

...How Teen Mothers Describe dating Violence Abstract This paper will examine Teen Dating Violence (TDV) from the perspective of pregnant teenagers and teenage mothers. TDV is recognized as a major current public health issue threatening youth and is even more prevalence during pregnancy and parenting (Herman, 2013). The task of parenting and the stress that comes with pregnancy are two psychological issues that are beyond the capabilities of the adolescent’s period. Dealing with these stressors often leads to TDV with adolescent parents. Throughout this paper I will discuss the viewpoints of selected teen mothers and pregnant teens, their thoughts on the causes, and their suggestions on how to stop or reduce TDV. The method used to collect the data will also be analyzed, the research limitations will be discussed, and the impacts of the research result on the nursing profession will be elaborated. Teenagers have the most understanding of their age group; therefore, the thoughts and experiences of young mothers will be useful in the development prevention strategies specific to their needs (Herman, 2013) Key words: teen dating violence, pregnant and parenting teens, interpersonal violence TDV can be defined as any negative use of power or control in teenage relationships. Development tasks of the adolescent period, hurdles for all adolescents, are even more complex when teens confront pregnancy and parenting and may predispose them to violent relationships (Herman, 2013)...

As this is becoming more prevalent it is important to strengthenone’s knowledge base to help prevent this form of violence. A meta-analysis is a process to combine the findings from several independent research studies in a statistical manner. This method is used most often to evaluate the rational and useful way associate several research studies to determine effectiveness of an intervention (Crombie& Davies, 2009). A critique of a study is, “a careful appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses of a study” (Polit & Beck, 2008, p. 123). These show areas of inadequacy and adequacy within a research study and to identify any errors.

...writing; as my grammar has improved, including the use of commas, colons, and semicolons. In fact, I am now knowledgeable of the fact that when you write, you write with a purpose. I used to write for fun, merely without putting any thought into what my exigence was. Essay after essay, I now put my focus onto what my exigence is, which makes each of my papers more powerful. There are specific essays that I should draw attention to. These essays include a research paper I wrote my freshman year, the Poisonwood Bible essay, the grotesque stylistic analysis, and the problem-solution paper. These essays distinctively display the growth of my writing. As an illustration of my starting point in writing, I will be discussing my favorite paper from freshman year. This paper was a research paper about the many teen issues, involving drug abuse, teen pregnancies, and sexually active teens. This was one of my favorites because I got to research on topics that are relatable even to today’s teenagers. It really revealed all the issues that are occurring to my classmates who are just a few steps away. It helped me developed the ability to research from reliable sources, and to appeal well logically to my readers. However, as I reread this essay now, I noticed a lot of flaws. I lacked the skills of connecting with my audience, and putting periods in correct areas. Luckily, I have improved in these areas as I evaluated my essays from this year. The next essay that I will be discussing is the...

Research is conducted through numerous different couples of different ages, working status, and amount of children in the household.

...Freedom of the Press Research Paper Kristine Najar Columbia Southern University Freedom of the press is the right to publish newspapers, magazines, and other printed matter without governmental restriction and subject only to the laws of libel, obscenity, sedition, etc. (Dictionary.com, 2013). Freedom of the press gives the right to circulate opinions in print or on broadcasted radio and television, without censorship by the government. Americans enjoy freedom of the press under the First Amendment to the Constitution. Though we have this right as Americans, we should not abuse it. This paper is an analysis of the problem that we face in our current society in America. I will discuss the history of Freedom of the Press, along with the abuse that we face today from politics to social media. In the United States we pride ourselves on the rights we have. We are the freest country in the world, but with that comes a huge responsibility. Many Americans abuse the free rights others worked so hard to accomplish. Freedom of the Press is just one of those hard-earned rights. Back in the early 18th century, there was a time when newspapers just printed material that was similar to books, pamphlets, and posters. Most of the information in the newspaper from the colonies was reprints of other publications, stories of local interest, literature, advertisements, and opinions (Illinois Press Association Guide to First Amendment and Illinois Access Laws, 1995) Then, the Stamp Act of 1756...
