2A - From Ch. 13 Family Violence (a major issue I chose copied from the book )
Generally speaking, the family is depicted as a private sphere where members are nurtured and protected, existing away from the influences of the outside world. Although this is the experience of many, families also can be locales for violence, disruption, and conflict. Family violence, hidden for many years, is a phenomenon that has recently been the subject of much sociological research. Why is family violence such a problem? Family violence takes several forms, including partner violence, child abuse, incest, and elder abuse. Power relationships within families, as well as gender differences in the division of labor, help explain domestic violence.
