The normalization of violence

In the weeks after hip-hop artist Chris Brown allegedly beat and strangled singer Rihanna, a stomach-turning phenomenon happened across North America: acceptance. U.S. reports showed that in Boston, 46% of teens surveyed said that Rhianna was responsible for the violence, and 44% said that physical violence is a normal part of a relationship.
Wrong. Beating a girlfriend is not a normal part of a relationship and is never justified by the victims “provocation”. However teen dating abuse is on the rise and violence in teen relationships have become common.
What can we do to stop violence in the next generation? What can we do to stop the normalization of violence in youth culture?
