ReflectionI believe this semester I was able to use my voice to speak to others about something I believe we should all be informed about. I felt that this issue fell so close to each one of us and I wanted to make sure it would reach as many people as possible.
At the beginning of this semester I knew about the basic needs which are food, water, and shelter but I did not know about the social needs. I knew the very surface level information but during class we were able to dive in deeper. The social needs consist of five things: status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness, and fairness. While researching about my topic, I was able to make connections to the social needs. I found that in situations of sexual abuse, almost no social needs are met. The status of the victims lowers in both the attacker’s and victim's eyes. The victim loses certainty that they are safe or that it will never happen again. The victim may sometimes feel that they are no longer able to make choices for themselves because they find blame in themselves for the attack. Survivors may sometimes feel unheard or out of place which would lead to a lack of relatedness within our society. The fairness aspect of social abuse starts when the victim is chosen. |
