Domestic violence

Domestic violence, also known as domestic abuse, spousal abuse, battering, family violence, dating abuse, and intimate partner violence (IPV), is a pattern of behavior which involves the abuse by one partner against another in an intimate relationship such as marriage, cohabitation, dating or within the family. Domestic violence can take many forms, including physical aggression or assault (hitting, kicking, biting, shoving, restraining, slapping, throwing objects, battery), or threats thereof; sexual abuse; emotional abuse; controlling or domineering; intimidation; stalking; passive/covert abuse (e.g., neglect); and economic deprivation. Alcohol consumption and mental illness can be co-morbid with abuse, and present additional challenges in eliminating domestic violence. Awareness, perception, definition and documentation of domestic violence differs widely from country to country, and from era to era.

My favourite movie

movie factfile ORIGIN: Spanish NAME:"Three meters above the sky" RUNNING TIME: 118 minutes TYPE OF MOVIE:Comedy STARS: Mario Casas(H) Maria Valverde(BABI) Alvaro Cervantes(CHICKEN) Marina Salas(KATINA) DIRECTOR:Fernando González Molina PRODUCER:Francisco Ramos Álex Pina Mercedes Gomero Daniel Ecija YEAR/RELEASE DATE:3 december, 2010 PLOT:A teen romantic drama tells the story of two young men who belong to opposite worlds. It tells the story of an almost impossible, but unavoidable, ending the couple dragging a frantic voyage of discovery where you will discover together the first great love. She is a girl from upper-middle class that is educated in the goodness, the innocence and standards. He is a rebellious girl, impulsive, unconscious appetite for risk and danger, locked in endless fights and illegal racing bikes, the limits of common sense. REVIEW:Three meters above the sky seems a super romantic film, I found that showed that we should not be guided by the appearances of people, because they can be appearance but we do not like but are very good. You have to fight for the person you really want, if the other person feels the same. And we must not be afraid to excel, provided it is for good.

Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are conditions defined by abnormal eating habits that may involve either insufficient or excessive food intake to the detriment of an individual's physical and mental health. Bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa are the most common specific forms in the United Kingdom.[1] Other types of eating disorders include binge eating disorder and eating disorder not otherwise specified. Bulimia nervosa is a disorder characterized by binge eating and purging. Purging can include self-induce vomiting, over-exercising, and the usage of diuretics, enemas, and laxatives. Anorexia nervosa is characterized by extreme food restriction to the point of self-starvation and excessive weight loss.[2] Though primarily thought of as affecting females (an estimated 5–10 million being affected in the UK), eating disorders affect males as well. An estimated 10 – 15% of people with eating disorders are males (Gorgan, 1999). (an estimated 1 million UK males being affected).[3][4][5] Although eating disorders are increasing all over the world among both men and women, there is evidence to suggest that it is women in the Western world who are at the highest risk of developing them and the degree of westernization increases the risk.[6] Nearly half of all Americans personally know someone with an eating disorder. The skill to comprehend the central processes of appetite has increased tremendously since leptin was discovered, and the skill to observe the functions of the brain as well.[7] Interactions between motivational, homeostatic and self-regulatory control processes are involved in eating behaviour, which is a key component in eating disorders.[8]
