1. Suppose that you are invited as a student of sociology, and an expert on Family Violence to present information to an audience that knows nothing about Family Violence or do not believe that it exists. Moreover, some in the audience also believe that abuse in the family is a personal issue and should be left that way and that society should not get involved. What would you say? I would like for you to make a presentation to them that addresses elder abuse and child abuse. In your presentation I want you to connect the structure (macro) with events happening to individuals (micro) and how this relates to violence in the family. You need to explain elderly abuse and tell the audience what types of abuse the elderly suffer. Try to help your audience understand structural and cultural influences on family violence and abuse and how these can be addressed. Next, explain to them what child abuse is and the different types of abuse that children are subjected to. Explain how children are impacted by child abuse and sexual abuse. Imagine that you are showing them the films that you have watched and then explain these films to them to help you support the arguments that you are making. Use the films that best help the arguments you are trying to make. Please explain how abuse unaddressed impact people negatively, and can potentially affect those who are around them as well.
