Self Image and Mental Health

How do you view yourself as a person? What is your perception on reality? Each person views themself and reality in different ways. Self-image goes hand-in-hand with one's mental-health.
By definition, mental-health is one's grasp of reality inside and outside of themself. A positive or inflated self view causes emotional resilience and acts as a buffer towards negative emotional impact.(Reality Bites) A person's psyche is very fragile. Throughout our lives we all face hardships. The way in which we cope with these hardships can leave a lasting impact on our minds. The lack of coping with an even that is emotionally distressful can scar a person's self image, ultimately damaging their mental-health. DIstorted self-image, whether the image is positive or negative, can lead to poor moods.(reality bites) Self-view impacts personal and professional identity and the way in which we seperate our identity from that of others. (chapter 3) The way you view yourself is the cause of the way you behave in the work place and at home or with family or friends, along with your actions, feelings, and your thoughts.
The way you see the world, how people treat you, and the events that take place in your life impact the way you see yourself, and how you perceive reality. Due to these circumstances each and every person in the world possesses a different state of mental-health.

Reasearch Project Solving Crimes/Domestic Violence

Murder is a subject that has been around for centuries. Dating back years ago it has affected the lives of many bring about sorrow and mourning. But thanks to murder investigators it has been easier to find the murderer and bring him/her to justice. In earlier years crime solving had started as some officers viewed it "an art." But one man was determined to change that and his name was Alphonse Bertillon. Bertillon believed that crime solving would be easier using measurements to indentify people instead of using vague descriptions such as "medium" or "tall"(Crime Solving 13-15). So he proved it to the police station he worked at that it was true by finding his first criminal with these measurements figuring out that the name the criminal gave them was actually was false(Crime Solving 20-21).Later on down the road other forms of criminology were developed such as fingerprinting(Crime Solving 29-50) and DNA identification(Crime Solving 96-115) to make crime solving easier. Even Domestic Violence crimes are solved due to criminology. FOr example a man was convicted of murdering his wife and dismembering her body and limbs with an electric saw. Using forensic evidence they were able to indetify the blood and bone of the victim was in fact on the saw(BBC News). "First degree murder is characterized by premeditation or deliberate design". "Second degree murder is characterized by a lack of premeditation but includes international and reckless behavior accompanied by malice, express or implied." in some places today you can still be sentanced to death (Murder). It has been shown that American woman have more to fear from the men they know and once loved than from any stranger. 34% of woman were homicide victims over age 15 are killed by thier boyfriends or loved ones. 81% of men who batter had fathers who abused thier mothers. Children who grow up in violent homes have a 74% higher likelihood of committing criminal assaults(Statistics). http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2011-04-11/news/bs-md-co-christian-trial-verdict-20110411_1_david-lemanski-first-degree-murder-cockeysville this story relates to the book because its about a man killing his girlfriend and thats what happend in out book. this is what happens when you let it get to far. ------> When people get beat or mentaly abused things that could happen are loss of control or helplessness, fear, anger, guilt, embarrassment, and doubts about sanity(reactions towards domestic violence).

Domestic Violence

      Domestic Violence is an act of violence or abuse against a person living in one's 
household, especially a member of one's immediate family. Abuse can happen to anyone, but mostly is focused on women and children (Domestic Abuse Wright.edu). As children grow up seeing abuse they will pick up the act of violence behavior (Domestic Violence by Joe Layden).
    
      Abuse doesn't always have to be physical but it can be psychological abuse which has a greater impact on the victim (Domestic Abuse Wright.edu). The pattern with domestic abuse is that it starts off as verbal abuse, than physical abuse and last seduction (Domestic Abuse Wright.edu). Domestic violence is one leading causes for the injury in death of women (Domestic Violence by Joe Layden). To recognize abuse is when your partner wants you to not hang out with other people, and controls what u do,blames you fro everything, starts forcing sex, breaks things and attacks you.  Ways to help a victim is by showing compassion and acknowledging that their story was scary. Be supported and be a good listener, help them find help for themselves (Domestic Abuse Wright.edu).
   
     The reason the victims stay with the abuser is because of love, hope, and fear (Domestic Abuse wright.edu). Most women suffer with the abuse,but others actually survive and get away. So if a person lives a abuser and they have a child then that person no matter how much they love them, they must get out of that situation. Domestic violence is a big problem so it should try to be avoided.
