Explanation

Family and domestic violence (including child abuse, intimate partner abuse, and elder abuse) is a common problem in the United States. Family and domestic health violence are estimated to affect 10 million people in the United States every year. It is a national public health problem, and virtually all healthcare professionals will at some point evaluate or treat a patient who is a victim of some form of domestic or family violence.

Unfortunately, each form of family violence begets interrelated forms of violence, and the "cycle of abuse" is often continued from exposed children into their adult relationships, and finally to the care of the elderly.

Domestic and family violence includes a range of abuse including economic, physical, sexual, emotional, and psychological toward children, adults, and elders.

Intimate partner violence includes stalking, sexual and physical violence, and psychological aggression by a current or former partner. In the United States, as many as one in four women and one in nine men are victims of domestic violence. Domestic violence is thought to be underreported. Domestic violence affects the victim, families, co-workers, and community. It causes diminished psychological and physical health, decreases the quality of life, and results in decreased productivity.

The national economic cost of domestic and family violence is estimated to be over 12 billion dollars per year. The numbers of individuals affected is expected to rise over the next 20 years with the increase in the elderly population.

Domestic and family violence is difficult to identify, and many cases go unreported to health professionals or legal authorities. Due to the prevalence in our society, all healthcare professionals, including psychologists, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and physicians will at some point evaluate and possibly treat a victim or perpetrator of domestic or family violence.

How did the French and Indian war lead to tensions between England and her 13 colonies ??????? Plz
Mrrafil [7]
French and Indian war (also known as the seven years war), led tensions between the 13 colonies and Britian. This is because in this war france lost New France to the British. When taxes began to rise in the colonies and Americans were starting to rebel, French were happy to help since it would be a sort of revenge since losing their colony in North America.

Based on this map, what was true of the two city-states that came to dominate ancient Greece?
marin [14]

Answer:

Separated by more than 100 miles of rugged terrain

Explanation:

<em>According to the map</em> of ancient Greece, we can see two city-states, one was Athens and the other was Sparta which both dominated at that time.

<em>Athens</em> is located in the Attica Peninsula surrounded by four great mountains and at that time was three times smaller then Sparta.

<em>Sparta</em> was located in the Peloponnese Peninsula and represented a great power, rival to Athens.

<em>One of the biggest differences</em> between Athens and Sparta was the way it was governed by each city-state.
