YOU THE MAN - XC - 4th Quarter

what lead to the underlying dynamics that lead to domestic violence i felt were a few reasons. one of the character he played was a guy trying to help his friend out with her boyfriend. what her boyfriend has been doing was being rude to her and otherthings while people were around. her friend kept trying to tell her to leave him but she wouldnt listen and at got to a point where they could not meet up because her boyfriend didnt want them meeting up anymore. what the guy did was called a hotline which didnt help out at all like they gave him some advice but it was not really that helpfull. in this story we really are not that show why the guy kept doing what he was doing to the girl unless he was abused as a child than it would make some sense why he was acting the way he was to her. her friend was really trying to help but she didnt want any help at one point and the hotline he called couldnt really help him with what he needed. in the other character he played was a basketball player where his friend showed a video to the whole team on the girl he had sex with and it sort of look like rape because she kept telling him to stop, what ending up happening was that the school found out and now the whole basketball team is introuble for watching it. i think if he was to step up and say something about watching the video that maybe it could have stoped them from geting introuble like if he were to walk out and othe people followed maybe the guy who made the video could reclect and see what he has done.

i am not sure if theres really one thing you can do to stop domestic violence its just like one of though things where it will always be there in some ways. maybe if it was talked about more and there was more centers / hotlines to call it might help but its kind of hard to try to stop it. because what sometimes happens is a person is abused as a child than when he grows up he starts doing the samething and it keeps going on like that untill someone decides to try to help that person or the person trys to help himself by stoping what he was doing and try to get some help for himself. in the play when the guy was trying to help his friend get out of that relationship he trys really hard to help but it someways it backfired because she still wanted to stay with that guy and the guy didnt want her near him anymore.
