Family violence and abuse prevention strategies are focused at three levels: the general population, specific groups thought to be at high risk for abuse, and families who have already experienced abuse. Public education and media campaigns aimed at the general population convey the criminal nature of domestic assault, suggest ways to prevent abuse (seek therapy for anger/jealousy/dependence),
and identify where abuse victims and perpetrators can get help. However, to prevent or reduce family violence through education, elements of American culture that contribute to such violence must change. For example, violence in the media must be curbed or eliminated, and traditional gender roles and views of women and children as property must be replaced with egalitarian gender roles and respect for women and children. Another cultural change is to reduce violence-provoking stress by reducing poverty and unemployment and by providing adequate housing, nutrition, medical care, and educational opportunities for everyone. Though programs such as Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) were not designed to prevent domestic violence and abuse, "they provide crucial assistance to low income families and thus support the functioning of these families." Integrating families into networks of community and kin would also enhance family well-being and provide support for families under stress. What social interventions are available for families that are already experiencing abuse or neglect? Abused women and children may seek relief at a shelter or a safe house for abused women. Shelters provide abused women and their children with housing, food, counseling services, legal assistance, employment assistance, and an environment that empowers women by encouraging them to make independent choices about their abusive relationships and about their future. Shelters also provide a communal living situation with other abused women, which reduces the sense of isolation and helps the women express their anger and overcome feelings of guilt and inadequacy. An alternative to shelters is a safe house, a private home of individuals who volunteer to provide temporary housing to abused women who decide to leave their violent homes. Battered men are not allowed to stay at women's shelters, but many shelters help abused men by providing money for a motel room, counseling, and support services. What is the main idea of this passage? a. Shelters and safe houses provide help for abused women. b. Several strategies can help families prevent and cope with family violence. c. Unemployment is a contributing factor in family violence. d. Legal assistance is very important for abused women.
Despite the seemingly immense powers at the president's disposal, the president is limited in which he or she can accomplish, or even attempt. In our system of checks and balances, the president must share some powers with the legislative and judicial branches of government. And the president's power is checked not only by these institutions, but also by the media, public opinion, and the voters
The founders hoped that this system of shared power would lessen the chance of tyranny. The consequence, however, has sometimes been an inability by the president to exercise decisive leadership. Secretary of Defense William Cohen once said about the American system of checks and balances, "The difficulty with this diffusion of power...is that everyone is in check, but no one is in charge." Some scholars believe the relationship between Congress and the president is the most important one in the American system of government. Congress has the upper hand in relation to the president in some distinct areas, primarily in passing legislation. In some other areas, though, particularly in foreign affairs, the president can exert tremendous power that Congress is virtually unable to check. Congress has the advantage over the president in the areas of legislative authorization, the regulation of foreign and interstate commerce, and some budgetary matters. Of course, as you have already read, the president today proposes a legislative agenda and a budget to Congress every year Nonetheless, only Congress has the power to pass the legislation and appropriate the funds. The most the president can do constitutionally is veto an entire bill if it contains something that the president does not like. The main idea of this passage is a. the legislative branch of government shares some of the president's power. b. Congress has little power in the area of foreign affairs. c. the president's power is limited by a system of checks and balances. d. the president's power is held in check by voters.
