What's the matter with the State of USA ? For decades, the U.S. is a destructive foreign policy, wars or indirect interest in them. Since the beginning of 1981, with Ronald Reagan over Geoge Bush senior , Bill Clinton and then George W. Bush Junior to early 2009 (ie about 28 years) just as a child by her parents abused and traumatized president was in power. (The president before that I had not studied, as about Obama I've not read a little further. However, writes Lloyd deMause in an aside that the childhood of most U.S. presidents from violence and neglect was characterized. Cf. deMause, 2005 , p. 19). For the purposes of the psycho-historical theory, "the leaders" basically pure emotional representative of the population, their personal story is so ill-treatment in connection with what much of the population have experienced as a child.
So let's look at some figures and facts that I have found:
A quarter of all children living in the U.S. state of food stamps. (See DER SPIEGEL, 30.10.2010, No. 44, "Good night, America", p. 82)
in 2008 reported the "Child Protective Services (CPS) in the U.S. from 3.3 million reported cases of children's physical, emotional or sexual abuse had experienced or were neglected. (See CDS, 2010. Child Maltreatment Facts at a Glance )
A study in the USA in 2000 showed that 94 percent of children between three and four years of slaps or blows to the education included. (See UNICEF, 2003: Child Maltreatment Deaths in Rich Nations Innocenti. Report Card No.5. Innocenti Research Centre, Florence., P. 22) A report from the year 1995, the American Gallup Organization showed that 40% of thirteen-year-olds were routinely beaten, even at the age of fifteen, were still 25% of young people beaten. (Ibid., p. 23)
researchers Injury Prevention Center at the University of North Carolina have published in 2010, three studies on violence against children. The result for the U.S.: " Most American parents hit their children accordingly. The proportion has decreased since 1975 by 18 percent. Nevertheless, still 79 percent of three to eleven physically chastened, almost half the children between eight and nine years even with a rod or the like. Corporal punishment has declined in the U.S., therefore not as strong as in other industrialized countries. "(cf. The Presse.com, 11.08.2010:" education: corporal punishment in the U.S. commonplace ".)
(Note, the three studies:
- Desmond Runyan (University of North Carolina, Chapel . Hill, USA) et al: Pediatrics, published online, doi: 10.1098/rsbl.2010.0564
- Adam J. Zolotor Puzia and Megan (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA): Child Abuse Review, doi: 10.1002/car. 113, Vol 19, No 4, p. 229
- Adam J. Zolotor (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA) et al. Child Abuse Review, online publication, doi: 10.1002/car.1128)
In a representative telephone survey of 2000 were 2068 parents of children aged between 4 and 35 months surveyed in the United States. 26% reported that they beat their children (English, "spanking") would have. (See Michael Regalado et al, 2004: Parents' Discipline of Young Children: Results From the National Survey of Early Childhood Health In:. PEDIATRICS, Vol 113, No. 6.)
That is a very high number, when one realizes that here the parents were interviewed over the phone and answer, of course, need not necessarily true. Moreover, the number is alarming, as it relates to infants and children at the age of 3 years. In addition, 67% of respondents reported to have shouted their infants / toddlers.
The above data come from relatively recent studies. As mentioned many times in this blog, older populations are very likely become an even greater extent victims of parental violence, as younger people.
The above mentioned UNICEF report of 2003 describes on page 25 and that has to be adopted this year in the U.S. state of Minnesota, the only laws that force gegen Kinder in der Erziehung verbieten. Aktuell habe ich bisher keine Daten im Internet gefunden, die aufzeigen, dass zwischenzeitlich noch weitere US-Staaten ähnliche Gesetze erlassen hätten.
Zum sexuellen Missbrauch möchte ich eine repräsentative Studie aus dem Jahr 1990 von Finkelhor erwähnen. 2626 Menschen wurden telefonisch befragt. 27 % der Frauen und 16 % der Männer gaben an, als Kind sexuell missbraucht (inkl. ohne Körperkontakt) worden zu sein. (vgl. Finkelhor, 1997 , S. 74ff)
Laut einem UNICEF Bericht aus dem Jahr 2001 gibt es in den USA zwischen 100.000 und 300.000 minderjährige Prostituierte.
Dazu kommt legale Gewalt gegen Kinder and young people in schools by teachers and relatively high numbers of child killings. (See article " violent childhoods in the U.S. ) also cut the United States compared with other industrialized nations in the general ranking for welfare of children particularly badly.
addition to Somalia, the U.S. is the only member of the United Nations, Adopted in 1989, the UN Children's Convention has not yet been ratified. (see status of " Convention on the Rights of the Child " from 11.11.2010)
I do not know how these facts and figures yet to comment on? Who knows this blog already knows, what this high degree of violence may have consequences for political and even. This is especially true because this is a superpower with enormous military potential.
