Researched Paper

My researched paper was about being able to identify violence against women and seeking help. There are many women out there who who are in violent relationships and have gotten accustomed to living with that life style and not doing anything about it. Many women see the violence happening to them as being something of a normal norm in our society because that is all they know. But the reality of it is, there should be no reason why a women should put up with any sort of violence and that is why it is good that women recognize it and seek help to put an end to it. At the end of all this though each women suffering from violence has to want to not want to live with violence and say enough is enough. Ultimately the women going through it has to have the will.

I gained a lot of knowledge from choosing this topic. Although if i had the opportunity to choose my topic again i would definitely have chosen a different one. This is a topic that can be good to just look into to gain personal knowledge but not to do a paper on it. I would recommend not to focus your paper on this topic. The information is limited and it does not go too far back in history. Books I would recommend are Understanding Violence Against Women by Crowell, N., Burgess, A., and the article Predicting the Timing of Women's Departure From Abusive Relationships by Panchanadeswaren, S. and McCloskey, L.

Good luck on the paper! And one piece of advise ASK the professor questions when in doubt or when in need of help. Take advantage when she offers to revise your draft!
