Domestic violence is a type of aggression which occurs between members of a
family, it constitutes a great social problem since it directly affects many families, negatively impacting different aspects such as physical and mental health. According to the world health organization (WHO) 35% of women in the world have suffered some type of domestic violence. Domestic violence greatly affects society. An important cause of domestic violence is people's intolerance, since when people are not educated in a way that they can be tolerant of others, domestic violence is triggered along with violence. The second cause is the lack of control of emotions, since when people don’t control their emotions they are more likely to be violent and want to impose their ideas on others. The third cause is the inability to solve problems because when someone doesn’t know how to behave in the face of problems and reacts aggressively, it’s a sign that they may commit domestic violence; likewise, if a person tries to solve a problem in a way in which their rights are not respected, they tend to be the victim. Another type of causes are the excessive consumption of alcohol and drugs, since these being toxic to the human body cause people to behave incorrectly in different situations. Among these causes there are also serious consequences if there isn’t an adequate control of people's impulses. The first consequence is the physical and psychological damage that occurs to the victims who suffer that. The second consequence is the victims are unable to maintain relationships with other people and tend to suffer self-esteem problems due to the damage they receive, if they don’t receive timely help, all this can lead to death. The third consequence is the people who suffer it tend to be more distant from others, some of them even completely change their personality due to the trauma they experienced. In conclusion, it is necessary to create a culture in which violence is eradicated so that people can lead a peaceful life. Likewise, the aggressors must learn to control their emotions, their impulses and their intolerance, the victims need to seek help so that they can overcome the consequences and so that in the future they can develop a normal life. Domestic violence cannot be normalized since it is an evil that affects the entire society.
