Question

The handbook states that both individuals and communities have the means to prevent and end domestic violence. In a paragraph, discuss which group you think has a larger role in preventing domestic violence? (Site 1)

Answer 1

     I think that individuals do play a major role in the prevention and extermination of domestic violence. But in all honesty, it is the individuals that make up the community. Therefore, communities play the larger role in ending and preventing domestic violence. It starts with the individual, but a large mass of people making an important statement, such as raising awareness of domestic violence would have a much greater effect than one person running around and protesting alone. When many are involved in this prevention, the protests will have a much greater effect on the common people. Communities consist of individuals, that make the change.
