I think it should be put into the public's eye because people think that domestic violence is something that happened in the "olden days", when in reality it's a very real thing that happens all the time, in America, in every state, and all around the world. If it's such a big issue, you would think that more people would know about, perhaps even that so many people would know about domestiv violence, that it really wouldn't happen anymore. Unfortunately, it's quite the opposite. I think that the majority of the population is not informed about domestic violence is because it's an issue that no one wants to talk about. They think that if they don't talk about it, and bring it out into the open, that maybe the problem will potentially go away.
I agree with Laura, I feel that the White Ribbon program is something that should be talked about more, the reason why it is not is because, as Laura said, because people do not view violence against women. If people want this problem they need to start talking about it so the women who are victims can get the help that they need.
I agree that the White Ribbon Program should be more publicized. It is important to make everyone aware of the violence against women. If more people are educated about the issue, then more people can rise to stop it. I feel that this problem has not been as big of an issue over the years. I feel like people now just say, well the violence is not as bad as it used to be. Also, people now almost just accept the fact that it is happening because they don't want to be the one to speak up. However, just because it has gotten a little bit better over the years, it does not mean that the issue is anywhere near being close to going away. I feel that this will always be an issue because of our history that men have the control and power over women.
I agree with everyone else, saying that White Ribbon Day should be more publicized to the nation. I disagree with Laura when she said that people don't realize that domestic violence still exists. I think that everyone knows that it still exists today. I remember in middle school learning about it and the signs to prevent it. Although more people could definitely become more informed, there are plenty of people in the United States who are informed. I think the reason its not publicized more is because it hasn't spread yet. People are aware of domestic violence, but not necessarily White Ribbon Day.
I agree with the above people, but Laura in particular. I think more people should observe White Ribbon Day and become more educated on the topic of violence against women. It is a very real problem that happens everyday, even though people think things like "Oh, that doesn't really happen these days" and "If she was abused, she would tell someone". According to rescue.org, 1 out of 3 women in the whole world are abused in their life. This number should be 0 women abused, and I think White Ribbon Day is a great step towards reaching that number by educating people about violence towards women.
I agree with everyone else that White Ribbon Day should be more advertised to raise awareness of vilence against women. I strongly agree with Kayla that everyone is well aware of domestic violence existing today and how she mentioned that White Ribbon Day has not been publizied enough. I myself knew that domestic violence still exists but however, I did not know that there was such thing as White Ribbon Day until Kailey's current event. White Ribbon Day is important to inform, reach out to support victims of domestic violence and the people. I also agree with David that society today ignores what happens to friends and family behind closed doors. Overall domestic violence against women is very much existing and instead of brushing it aside, we should publicize it and embrace White Ribbon Day so that the public focuses on the issue more.
I agree with everyone that White Ribbon Day should be more in the public because domestic violence is a serious problem that you don't hear about very often. I had never heard of White Ribbon day but i think its a great way to spread awareness about domestic violence. You here about murders and rapes all the time but you don't see a lot of domestic violence in the news so i think that white ribbon day is a great way to spread awareness to people who wouldn't otherwise know its such a big problem.
Of course White Ribbon Day should be in the public's eye; awareness of any problem is always one step closer to a solution. As others have said people may be aware about violence against women but that doesn't necessarily mean people are acting against it. Violence against women is another horrible problem the world has to face and anything to educate or raise awareness towards it is a step in the right direction. Along with Greg I had never heard of White Ribbon Day before Kailey's current event. I think the only reason why it is not already in the public's eye is because domestic violence and violence against women is often overlooked, or as others have stated is an issue in the past. If the violence is not directly affecting you I think then it is easy to brush off and ignore, White Ribbon Day is a great way to raise awareness about violence that needs to be stopped.
I think White Ribbon Day should definitely be more in the publics eye because domestic violence is extremely common. I think if more people knew about how big of an issue it is, there would be a much higher chance of resolving that issue. When an issue is well-known, there are more people who are willing to help fix it. If no one is educated about domestic violence and no one knows about White Ribbon Day, not much is going to be done about domestic violence. Like Laura said, people tend to think domestic violence only occurred a long time ago, which is why I think White Ribbon Day isn't very well-known. If no one thinks domestic violence is a problem, it's not going to be fixed.
I agree with most of the previous comments; however, I think that people don’t really think of it as a modern day issue because it is now illegal and law suits can be filed against people who commit domestic violence. I agree with Laura Y. and Kayla that a lot of people do not know it is such a large issue, so a lot of times it just goes unnoticed. I think that it is a great idea to spread awareness of this issue and to promote white ribbon week in order to aid in putting an end to domestic violence. I think white ribbon week is not currently being recognized by most of the public because people do not see it as an issue. As a society, we tend to overlook many of the problems that we have as a people because we either do not know about them. If we do not know about problems in our world, we cannot make attempts to fix them. I think that white ribbon week should be brought into the eyes of the public because it may start the chain reaction needed to end domestic violence. I completely agree with Andrea’s statement that “awareness of any problem is always one step closer to a solution.” I believe that white ribbon week could be this first step.
I think that white ribbon day should be publicized. Even Though to some this problem may not seem like a big deal, every problem should be addressed to the public. To me this issue is important because a vital part of life are relationships or friendships. All people need to be aware of the possible violence. The women need to know so they know that their friend, boyfriend, or husband could be a threat. The men must know because they need to know that they could hurt someone and become another statistic associated with a problem in America. Like Laura said people need to be aware that it happens because it seems to be below other issues in America. But I also think that getting it out in the public may do nothing. Some people may ignore it and continue with what they do.
I totally agree with my fellow classmates that White Ribbon Day should be more in the public's eye. Like Laura F. said, domestic violence is such a huge problem that happens everywhere. I do think that many people know about it, but just don't like talking about it. I don't agree with her that domestic violence against women is considered only a problem in the past. I believe people still consider it a current issue. But most people might not actually do anything about it. They might think that it is a minor issue and brush it aside. Although I think people know about domestic violence, I don't think they know about White Ribbon Day. I myself have never heard of such a thing until Kailey told us about it. It seems like a really great idea to stop violence towards women and more people should know about it. People need to be more aware of what it can do to people and how we can stop it. They need to understand that violence against women is a major issue. On why people don't know about White Ribbon Day, I believe it is because people treat it as a minor issue. They don't believe it is much of a problem, so they don't really care. Most people are not informed about the violence and don't understand how bad it is. I really believe that everyone needs to learn about domestic violence against women.
I agree that the White Ribbon Program should be a focus in the public’s eye! It is important to make everyone aware of the violence against women. The more education we have on domestic violence, hopefully the less violence will occur. It is awful that most people now almost just accept the fact that it is happening because they don't want to be the one to speak up. We need people to speak up to save the women in our society. Ignoring the issue of domestic violence, will not make the issue go away! The only way to stop this crime is to build the White Ribbon Program as awareness and an effort to end the domestic violence. I feel that this could always be an issue, because of our history that men have the control and power over women; unless we stop it now.
I agree with Lauren. I do think that White Ribbon Day should more publicized, but there is more of a legal factor within the issue now. The law is much more involved in keeping this issue under control. I agree with Andrea, any problem should be more public. This is an important problem and people should be taking notice but it is less of a modern day issue than other issues. It has been lessened over time.
I agree with the rest of my classmates above. I do believe that White Ribbon day should be more publicized than what it already is. But, I also agree with Lauren in saying that not a lot of people are aware that domestic violence is occurring, because of the laws against it. Sure, there are definitely people that are aware of the issues relating to this matter, but they are just bystanders who don’t want to do anything about it. I think that making White Ribbon Week more popular and publicized, we as a society would have a much easier time promoting awareness and stopping domestic violence. If we raised awareness of this issue, more people would recognize it if they saw it, and they would be more apt to do something about it. Domestic violence is a problem that has been occurring in the United States for many years now, and I agree with Laura F in saying that people associate domestic violence with “the olden days” and don’t realize how much of an issue it is today. I strongly believe that if we promoted White Ribbon Week more throughout the USA it would increase awareness, and hopefully decrease the problem.
I agree with David that White Ribbon day is a step in the right direction to try to top domestic violence and should be published more. I agree that spreading the word on White Ribbon day may help the women out there going through some kind of domestic violence as well as try to lower the numbers. I also agree with Lauren that people don’t really think it is a present day issue because there are laws against it now when there weren’t any in the past. I also think that it is not looked at as a present day issue because it is something that the people going through domestic violence do not want to talk about. When something bad like that happens, it is very hard to talk about. When people do not feel comfortable talking about it, word will not be spread and other issues seem to be so much more important. I feel that White Ribbon day would make the victims of domestic violence feel more comfortable sharing their stories in order to try to stop domestic violence.
I agree with Michaela and David in the aspect that White Ribbon Day is a great thing trying to stop violence against women. I also think that White Ribbon Day should be promoted more, especially in areas that were hit hard by this economic crisis that we face. Promoting White Ribbon Day could help women across the world if it was promoted, especially if it was promoted by a large corporation. CBS does little advertisements that promote things like black history month. I think that the only reason why White Ribbon Day is not promoted more is because it does not have any advertisement.
I completely agree with everyone here and don't Think there is a genuine reason tha anyone could find a way to dissagree. This should certainly be put publicly. As Kailey said domestic violence is a highest leading cause of female deaths and as shocking to me that that was that day I didn't even believe it at first. This proves even more that domestic violence is a huger problem that I first thought. White ribbons should be just as hyped as pink for cancer and yellow for the troops. Given out at rallies and talked about at school to raise awareness and prevention
I agree with everyone that has commented so far, but especially with Lauren. White Ribbon Day should most definitely be made more public so that everyday people can get more involved and do their part to help prevent violence against women. Like Lauren said, there is not much said about violence against women today because it is illegal act. Many years ago, violence against women was not necessarily discouraged, so in today's time, we hear much more about that and less about the crimes that are being committed in this era. When Kailey outlined the fact that domestic violence was the number one reason for female deaths, I was extremely shocked. I never thought that it was such a huge problem, and now I feel that if White Ribbon Day were to be advocated more, it would allow more people like me to observe the problems going on in today';s society.
I also agree with the rest of the class by saying that this issue should be publicized. White Ribbon Day highlights a major issue, by making this public it will open more peoples eyes and hopefully they will help to decrease domestic violence. I also agree that many people think that this is not a present day issue because of the laws made against domestic violence, but laws are not stopping this issue and we need more people to help stop this.
I agree with David that white ribbon day is a step in the right direction. I also agree with the rest of my classmates who think that white ribbon day should become more publicized. Domestic violence towards women is happening not only in the United States, but also in many other countries around the nation. You rarely here about a women beating up her husband, but you are more likely to hear about a man beating up his wife, so why don't we do anything about it? This matter has been seriously overlooked, and is still a huge issue in our present day society. I also agree with Lauren when she said that this matter needs to be more publicly known so that people could make an impact and a change in what goes on with domestic violence against women. This issue has been pushed aside for too long, and needs to be addressed soon.
I agree with everyone above me White Ribbon Day should be made more of a big deal. Domestic Violence is one of the biggest problems the United States has. I think that we need to make the laws stricter and really crack down and punish people for breaking them.
I agree with pretty much everyone and think that white ribbon day should be put in the public's eyes. I think most people know that it happens but they don't know the severity of it. If people saw the statistics and how scary they are, more people would get involved. I think more people should raise awareness of white ribbon day and try to help this issue.
I agree with everyone that commented before me, white ribbon day should become a more popular event across the United States. I would say that domestic violence is the biggest problem that we have in the country but it does need to be stopped. Demotic violence is not only towards woman, I think people don’t really realize that it does happen to men also. I think that the issue has not been viewed as very important but it really is. I think that it isn’t really known about because people don’t think that it’s too important.
I agree with everyone above. Times have changed and White Ribbon day should be more popular around the United States. But the only flaw i see as Evan stated about is it is aimed towards woman. Men can be victims of domestic violence too, though it might not happen as much it still happens. As long as White Ribbon day is a non bias thing then i believe everyone should honor it.
I think it should be put into the public's eye because people think that domestic violence is something that happened in the "olden days", when in reality it's a very real thing that happens all the time, in America, in every state, and all around the world.
