What is the difference between an arguement, and domistic an family volence?

Question

for a community services assessment, i'm just finding the answer difficult to put into an educated answer... please help!

Answer 1

An arguement does not contain abuse or violence, but domestic family violence is where there is corporeal abuse or uncontrolled anger leading to violent tendencies such as throwing, or breaking things, or threatening words, etc.

Answer 2

Myself I try to look at three different aspects. Physical, verbal abuse and an argument.

Physical abuse is pretty easy to define. Did someone lay a hand on another. A Man pushing his partner against a wall, a woman launching glasses at a man. These are examples of violence.

Now an argument, could just be a disagreement over the heating bill, or why someone came home so late. This disagreement can be loud, and heated, but only turns to abuse when one side tries to belittle the other. It is a very fine line between, "I can't believe you are so disrespectful" and "you are a Freaking idiot".

Verbal abuse is when you belittle your spouse's or child's point of view, treat them as idiots or outright call them names.

This is my personal interpretation of the difference. I hope this helps a bit

Answer 3

...the difference is created by you.

you say what is an argument and what is domestic violence. but you may not also. you may also hear others viewpoints of this. which you will accept if you gain greater love by this process.

if you wish to discuss the legalities of this or how others within the professional fields of law and psychology pertain, then you are asking for the viewpoints of others and will get more and less popular ideas pertaining.

but....i have often heard a discussion being typed as an argument so that the person with the preferences for ideas and values could say of the other person was being unwilling to hear or know what is of the other realization(s).

listen please....it is as simple as this.

we each have our own realizations at any given moment in time.

in relationship it is our purpose to share this.

if one person do not wish to hear or accept what is the realization of another person. that person be prepared to not relate. and therefore may become heated of mind and then body.

violence is when physical force of body or implement is used to have their values to ideas preserved over and above the values realizations of an other.

discussions are open minded relations to know what is valued and accepted by one and each.

arguments are closed efforts in relationship with one or the other being more or less willing to listen and hear.

i realize that in this day and age...(and days and ages gone by) some people are given preference and priority for realizing what it is they value and an other not.

but that is due to purpose of each.

in relationship there is always a purpose and that purpose is sharing love for acceptance and to the further purpose to fullfill some objective...such as raising a family.

the problems arise when one or other do not have to share what is their own purpose in realization or insist that an other be such ... or/and then make valueless the purpose or realization of an other whom may desire such.

be well

Answer 4

An argument involves a difference in opinion which can be resolved without verbal or physical abuse. The argument becomes domestic violence when verbal or physical abuse is thrown into the mix.

Answer 5

an argument is nothing but verbal abuse. each person or persons is not touching the other. they are just talking or having a n extreme conversation that involves yelling and screaming and sometimes involves threats of harm.
domestic family violence is when each person of the same family harms the other person by hitting, slapping, shooting, or running over them with a vehicle.it has to be physical in order for it to be violence.

Answer 6

When someone becomes physical or someone feels threatened. Anytime one of the parties threatens or physically harms the other party then it is domestic violence. There has to be a fear of being harmed or actually harmed.

Answer 7

When physical violence comes into play, an argument turns into domestic violence.

Answer 8

Everybody argues.. is human nature... domestic violence???? there are fists moving.. that is physical... Hell, I argue at work with folks.. but I don't hit them... domestic violence is physical..
