Survivors are often left to cope on their own, as researchers found there was very little known about the coping of an attack (Jenson, Thoresen, Grete, 2015). While many people are religious, their research found that it was used least in coping, and that “problem solving and positive cognitive restructuring were used most frequently” (Jenson et al., 2015). These events can have such profound impacts that they can alter views on life and the world permanently. Students reported in Norway after a…

of those affected by the bombing came to light when the book Hiroshima was written in 1946. Hiroshima is a nonfiction book written by Pulitzer Prize winner John Hersey that creates unparalleled depth to this event by divulging the stories of six survivors and how this experience affected their lives. It was this unique plot that drew me to Hersey’s book because it was able to put…

Abusive partners often take advantage of financial insecurity to control their partners, as seen in the high number of survivors experiencing financial violence (LGBTQ survivors with disabilities were two times more likely to be isolated by their abusive partner and four times more likely to experience financial violence).

a household were physical, sexual, and emotional abuse are a constant aspect of family life it then becomes normalized to them making them believe that abuse is ordinary which is how the cycle of abuse in families continues on. Residential school survivor Ray Mason is a key example of this, he says “I have a son that is constantly in and out of jail. Why?

emperor and to destroy their American enemy (Sharp). In the same way that he showed the similarities between Japanese and American citizens, he helped reveal the terrors of the aftermath of the bomb, specifically the effects the radiation had on the survivors. It showed the painful truth that surviving the blast only meant a slow and painful death from radiation poisoning.     By writing Hiroshima, Hersey made it known to the general public that nuclear weapons have terrible,…

a heteronormative expression of sexism and not a gender neutral construct of power and domination (Allen, 2007). Barriers to services. Perhaps the greatest difference between LGBTQ and hetero- IPV is the access of services provided to same-sex survivors (Allen, 2007). Victims who have yet to disclose their sexual…

The study also demonstrates that the success of the Kindertransport children’s placement in foster families or hostels, and the support and educational opportunities awarded to them varied considerably, and in some cases, totally unsuitable placements and lack of support made the participants’ lives miserable. Although historians report that the British had determined that the moment contact was established, responsibility for each child should rest with the professional staff until each was…

Soldiers undergo traumatic events while in combat. Some survive harrowing experiences; other men die. When soldiers go back home to their loved ones, it is hard to look past what happened to their comrades while they were in combat. For the soldiers who survives, everyday life is a tossup between feeling genuinely happy and feeling guilty for surviving. Even the toughest of soldiers may suffer from survivor’s guilt---a psychological syndrome that makes someone believe they have done wrong by…

too many students. Survivors, victims of the lack of due process and campus administrators have all told me that the current approach does a disservice to everyone involved,” DeVos commented in her announcement. It is clear to me as to why those “victims,” also known as the people being investigated for sexually assaulting other students, would agree with her.
