In-Class Essay #3

I have chosen to write my paper about a proposal that would help domestically abused women. Right now, when a woman is abused finding help can be very difficult. A lot of the times police to not respond in a way they should, doctors in hospitals ignore the signs, and there are not very many shelters for abused women to seek refuge in.
This topic is a good fit for me because once I graduate I want to go out into the community and help people who are struggling either physically or mentally and this topic will help explore on aspect of my future career. Also I chose to write my paper on this topic because I feel that it is very important to society to be aware of these issues. I feel that I can bring a different look upon these issues because I am younger than most of the people who have previously researched and written about them.
I have never experienced or known anyone personally who has experienced domestic abuse but I feel that I have seen and heard enough from various news reports and personal testimony from a few women to understand how awful the protection system for these women is. I want to make sure that anyone who reads my paper can see how awful it is and realize that something serious needs to be done to help these women. They do not deserve this kind of treatment and if they are receiving it, society should do everything they can to protect them from it.
