Verbal abuse first... or controlling actions like distancing you from family giving you a “curfew” and controlling what you say or do.

Explanation:

Extreme Jealousy

Jealousy is a sign of insecurity and lack of trust, but the abuser will say that it is a sign of love. The abuser will question the victim about who they talk to, accuse them of flirting, or be jealous of time spent with their friends, family, or children. The abuser may refuse to let the victim work or go to school for fear of meeting someone else. The abuser may call the victim frequently or drop by unexpectedly.

Controlling Behavior

One partner completely rules the relationship and makes the decisions. This includes “checking up” on the victim, timing a victim when they leave the house, checking the odometer on the car, questioning the victim about where they go. They may also check the victim’s cell phone for call history, their email or website history. The abuser may control the finances and tries to tell the victim how to dress, who to talk to, and where to go.

Quick Involvement

The abuser comes on strong at the beginning of the relationship, pressuring for a commitment and claims “Love at first sight” or “You’re the only person I could ever talk to”, or “I never met anyone like you before”. Often, in the beginning of a relationship, the abuser is very charming and romantic and the love is intense.

Unrealistic Expectations

Abusers expect their partners to meet all their needs and be “perfect”. They may say things like “If you love me, then I’m all you need”.

Isolation

The abuser tries to keep the victim from friends and family by putting down everyone the victim knows, including their family and friends. They may keep the victim from going to work or school.

Blames Others

The abuser does not take responsibility for their problems, blaming others (usually the victim) for almost everything (“you made me mad”).

Hypersensitivity

An abuser is easily insulted and takes everything as a personal attack and blows things out of proportion.

Cruelty to Animals or Children

The abuser may punish animals brutally or be insensitive to their pain. They may have unfair expectations of children or tease them until they cry.

“Playful” Use of Force of Sex

The abuser may throw or hold their partner down during sex, may pressure their partner into having sex, may demand sex when their partner is tired or ill or doesn’t want to have sex. They may ask the victim to do things they do not want to do.

Verbal Abuse

The abuser says cruel and harmful things to their victim, degrades them, curses at them, calls them names, or puts down their accomplishments. The abuser tells their victims they are stupid, and unable to function without them. They embarrass and put down the victim in front of others as well.

Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde

The abuser experiences severe mood swings and the victim may think the abuser has a mental health problem. One minute they can be charming and sweet and the next minute they become angry and explosive. Explosiveness and moodiness are typical of people who beat their partners.

Past History of Battering

The abuser has a history of past battering of partners and although they may admit to that, they say their previous partner provoked them to do it. A batterer will beat any partner they are with if the person is with them long enough for the violence to begin; situational circumstances do not cause a person to have an abusive relationship.

Use of Violence and Threats of Violence

Violence can include holding the victim down, restraining them from leaving the room or pushing, shoving or holding them against a wall.

Abusers may also throw or break objects as a punishment (breaking treasured possessions), but throwing or breaking objects mostly used to terrorize the victim into submission. The abuser may break or strike objects near the victim to frighten them.

Threats of violence include any threat or physical force meant to control the victim: “I’ll kill you”, “I’ll break your neck”, “If you ever leave, I’ll kill you.”

Define attitudes of others individuls choices death/dying
patriot [66]

Other factors that influence how individuals experience dying include:

<span>age: we tend to see death as something that happens in older age. This can make the death of younger people difficult to understand. It can also mean older people who are dying might receive less support because their death is 'expected'.culture: the meaning given to illness, dying and death in different cultures can influence how an individual deals with the experience. For example, culture may influence the family's role at this time, communication patterns, or feelings of optimism or fatalism.religion: religious beliefs can influence death rituals and beliefs about the afterlife. For some it may provide a source of meaning, while for others it may create a sense of conflict or distress.<span>past experience with death and dying: some people may have no experience with dying, and may be uncertain and fearful of what may occur. Others may be anxious about dying because of the negative experiences of someone they have known or heard about.</span></span>

TRUE OR FALSE<br> Spanish conquistadors were not concerned with Native American uses of peyote.
vredina [299]
<span>It is false that Spanish conquistadors were not concerned with Native American uses of peyote. As a matter of fact, they were very interested when it came to that topic, because they didn't know what Native Americans used peyote for and how many uses were there when it came to this cactus. However, unfortunately, they didn't ask them politely, but came there to take their lands.</span>

It is estimated that people spend 10-20% of their lives inside? true or false?
Maru [420]
If by inside, you mean staying indoors, then this is false. The average hours of sleep that people should get is between 7-8 hours. That would be 7/24 * 100 = about 30%. People must at least stay inside to sleep.
