I will pay for the following article Violence, Depression and Survival among Latina / Mexican Women. The work is to be 5 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. Women of Mexican or Latino descent are known to have borne the brunt of such aggression within their households by their intimate male partners on account of several reasons. The Hispanics were economically backward as opposed to other sections of the population as observed from the tables mentioned above. The apparent economic disparity among the whites and nonwhite population fuelled significant dejection, anger, and frustration which the Latino males vented out on their female partners. Thus the widespread economic disparity and poverty are considered to be the prime reason for such domestic violence along with other factors such as poor socioeconomic status, excessive alcohol consumption, occupational stress, fatalistic cultural beliefs, oppression, and discrimination.&nbsp.Women of Mexican or Latino descent are known to have borne the brunt of such aggression within their households by their intimate male partners on account of several reasons.

Mexican or Latina women are often observed to be content with staying in abusive relationships. This is mainly attributed to the inherent cultural beliefs amongst the community where falling out of a relationship is often frowned upon and labeled as a moral failure. Besides economic dependency, concern for children and failure to seek alternative living arrangements are some of the other factors that act as barriers for seeking professional assistance. Some of the common coping strategies as found by researches include refusal to accept that it will persist, a strong belief in partner’s promises, and other passive strategies such as assuming responsibility for such violence. According to another study conducted by O’Keefe (1994) which studied battered women in Los Angeles shelters, one of the most common reason found that prevented women from seeking assistance were the complete lack of proper support groups apart from concerns for personal safety.
