He had a nice, boyish sort of cheerfulness that had never been trained out ... with a concept he obviously does not understand culminates with the fight scene near the end of the book. His part of the dialogue during that scene is remarkably similar to that of an angry child: "Tell me where she is." "Sit down," I said. "I don't know where she is." "The hell you don't!"

- 665: Courtship Violence
- ... The study of dating violence is important for two reasons. First, such behavior often results in physical and emotional injury. Second, there is reason to believe that dating violence is often a precursor to spousal abuse. Many battered women report that they were first assaulted by their husbands during courtship (Simons 467). Women, more than men, appear to bear the brunt of courtship violence. Despite the fact that rates of partner abuse by males and females are similar, women report more injuries and a greater negative impact as a result of their male partners’ physical aggression (Ronfeldt 72). Studies consistently show that it is women who are ... explanation for dating violence is that it is a learned behavior acquired in the family origin.

In the encyclopedia Hellman is described as an American Dramatist, whose plays are distinguished for ... wrote The Children's Hour, she broached the subject of lesbianism, something much less prevalent then. The Children's Hour is really not about lesbians. It is rather about a malicious lie told by a child. It helps to remember that homosexuality during the 1920's was not acceptable and even today, a lesbian teacher would still make tremendous waves. Still, during the early part of the twentieth century, homosexuality was ... one takes her own life and another breaks off an engagement. Every thing they have worked and dreamed for, including the school suffers and is utterly destroyed. The work reminds one of contemporary cases of child abuse in schools where children lie for various reasons. Inevitably, the lies are corroborated and believed.

In the last ten years, research shows that infants raised in daycare "are more prone to behavioral problems as young children than their home-reared cousins."

- ... boy with pus from a diseased cow. The list goes on, and such experiments continue even until today. Nowadays these experiments would be ethically and legally unacceptable. Nevertheless, there have been clear documented cases of abuse in recent times. An example of this is the experiments conducted by Nazi doctors on prisoners in the concentration camps during the Holocaust.

Bioethically speaking, how far can we go in the study of the ... extent. If we are considered to be a moral race, then should we be allowed to make the choice for anyone who cannot make the choice for them?, just like a mother for her own child?
