Through my research of spousal abuse I found that many people are susceptible to becoming abused, or abusing. When two people meet and form a relationship they usually want to respect and love each other. However, when the right personality types get together, it can be a dangerous attraction. There are all different types of abuse, but it all stems from the same thing. On one side, usually the males, there is a need for power and control. A woman who believes that they need a relationship to feel right about themselves is easily manipulated by this kind of male. The World Health Organization has declared violence against women a public health priority. The problem is that manipulation makes it very hard for women to get out of these types of relationships.
