It is worth noting that its negative effects are not limited to women only, but extend to their families, communities and countries. The financial aspect plays a major role in motivating people to eliminate this type of violence, because of the huge financial costs and expenses it causes to individuals, families and countries, represented in the legal expenses of holding perpetrators accountable, and the need to provide more health care for abused women, in addition to the losses in production resulting from violence against women, which negatively affects the national budget and comprehensive development. Prevention of Violence Against Women The best way to end violence against women is to prevent it from happening in the first place, by addressing its causes, which are based on false social norms and gender discrimination, through: Achieving gender equality and strengthening relations of mutual respect between them. Empowering women in society. Granting women all their human rights. Making the home and public places safe for women. Enhancing women's economic independence. Increasing women's participation in decision-making processes. Raising awareness and educating society about this issue through the media and social networking sites. The role of men in eliminating violence against women There are many efforts being made at the international level to involve men in eliminating violence against women. This is done by targeting them in community campaigns that contribute to preventing this phenomenon, participating in educational programs, and benefiting from their powers as legislators of laws and policies that limit violence against women, or from men’s experiences as advocates and activists for women’s rights. The role of men in eliminating violence against women is clear from three aspects as follows: Avoiding men committing violence against women themselves. Positive intervention when confronted with violence against women by another man. Addressing the cultural and social causes and motivations for violence against women.

The Notebook
On the desk is a stack of notebooks. Some are full of notes, and some are full of a little bit of everything from stories to poems to articles of various subjects. There are some that are empty and ready to be filled. What do you suppose should fill them? I know that some would start a possible novel or maybe a collection of short stories. At time I was thinking of a textbook dealing with American history for preschoolers or primary children. Yes, I am that writer with the stack of notebooks on my desk. What do you think?

Come Sunday Morning
Come Sunday morning you take a walk alone or with your companion in this case my dog. I am watching the sunrise rising over the horizon and seeing the sky turn from a light purple to almost a red. There is that old Navy saying, "Red skies in the morning, sailors take warning, Red skies in the evening Sailors rejoice. That is not the right word, but I could never remember that one word. Sunday a time to rest and rejoice for it's a day to say thanks to the Lord for another day or two or three or more.

Managing
We all seem to arbitrarily save enough to live as in getting food to eat and to cloth ourselves, well if we are able to do this for there are some that are out there that need our help through no fault of their own who need extra help. I know there are thrift stores and helping hands, but some people are just too proud to admit that they need help, and I also know that out of that group of individuals there are some that are just lazy and do not want to do anything worthwhile but complain about.

The Community
The World community always seemed to think that the natural resources were always inexhaustible, but we are slowly learning that they are not. The powers that be are always trying to find new ways to increase these resources, but it seems like they are always doing it too late or in the wrong ways like 'fracking'. I always liked wind and solar power, but it seems even those have drawbacks. The lesson I learned is that all the resources are related to each other in some way, and we have to figure a way to harness their togetherness some way.

Guessing?
We can only guess at what the next new word in the dictionary might be. I am still amazed at some of the words that seem to join the lexicon world of this major tome. There are many words in this book of books that seems to add to our knowledge in many areas of living our lives. Words like 'bot' could be one of them. I think 'bot' is in this book of learning to spell and increasing vocabulary. If at times we do not know how to spell words remember what your teacher always said, "Look it up."

Teachers and Education
Another vocabulary project that I am working on is one dealing with the Foundations of education from the history to the present and all the needed information that a student of education may need. There are so many theorists from the Greeks to the present day. One must learn the past to improve the present to hopefully make the future better for all people. To educate is to make understanding not just the facts but the idea or ideas behind them. Teaching is a profession that is hard to comprehend at times for all the issues. Teaching is a calling.

The Human Brain
I am starting to research for a vocabulary textbook reviewing all the necessary vocabulary dealing with the subject of biological psychology. In other words why does the brain make us do what we do. The mind or should I say the mind is a terrible thing to waste is a phrase I heard on an old television commercial. It was either a Just Say No PSA or about some college fund. Anyway in researching I thought of this little drabble to explain my future writings. Get ready for neurons, glial cells and all you may want to know about synapses.
