The Controversy Of Child Abuse

Improved Essays
Something that I would defend as being wrong no matter what anyone said is abuse. This is abuse toward any human and animal and in any form. People hurt others physically, sexually, mentally, or verbally for a few reasons, but it stems “from a desire to gain and maintain power and control”. They will hurt others over and over for their own gain. Abuse is wrong since it is unmoral to hurt other for their own personal gain or pleasure. There is not an argument out there that will convince me that it is right to abuse others.

There is also this belief that families are a safe haven and a place of security (McCauley, 2015).…
