[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Wife-battering is one of the most widespread under-reported crimes overseas and in Australia.

Many women 'keep it in the family' and normalize abuse while others are unaware of the means by which to report it or else fear doing so. This paper explores the understanding of the social and cultural subordination of woman and the topic of domestic abuse in Australia. Delves into the causes and dynamics of family violence.

Drug Use and Treatment of Hispanic Immigrants
[ send me this paper ]
A 19 page paper discussing the influence of culture on addiction treatment. Much of the research into drug use among Hispanics of the past has identified Hispanics only by cultural identification, without giving a clear picture of those cultural matters that can influence whether a Mexican American chooses to seek help in breaking an addiction. There are several aspects of the Mexican American culture that prevent Mexican Americans from moving along the same path of addiction resolution that individuals of other ethnic groups navigate in similar journeys. This paper discusses some of these points, including acculturization and the tradition of relying on family groups in times of crisis. Counselors need to realize that Hispanics who enter treatment likely already have used these social structures without success. Includes an abstract and an outline. Bibliography lists 19 sources.
