Domestic Violence: A Cross-Cultural View

1. How is domestic violence similar in India, Japan, Vietnam, and Africa? How does it differ? Also, Leeder notes that rising industrialization and modernization increase the likelihood of family violence. Why, then, is wife battering also common in industrialized countries such as Japan and the United States?

2. Why do most of the women in these countries never complain about domestic violence? What individual, legal, historical, and cultural factors help explain their silence?

3. Leeder urges the reader to suspend “any ethno- centric value judgments” about family violence. What does she mean? And, if we do so, does this

mean that the global community shouldn’t inter- fere with a country’s violent practices against women and children?
