People find joy in the pain of others. Over time, there will always be an obstacle in life that prevents people from achieving their goal. Structural violence is a form of higher authority that limits (with a covert approach) the lower classes from achieving their level of authorization and control. Gender role for women and some men represents an obstacle due to sexism, blame and double standards. In almost all countries, many leaders are controlled by men, and women or men who do not meet expectations are excluded from gaining power to help the people. Sexism is still present in many Eastern countries and many women are still able to vote because of their gender. Women face many expectations and rules for their voice to be considered valuable. Poverty has become one of the biggest problems in the United States and relies on money, because money (in several countries) is the key to survival. Second class and lower class citizens in the United States struggle with taxes and where they live and receive unfair healthcare due to their past health issues compared to other countries you would consider a third world country capable of provide free healthcare to everyone who lives there. Our justice system treats women in prison worse than men, their healthcare is not as impressive as other men's prisons; not only are prisoners mistreated, but also specific lower-class neighborhoods; targeting second and lower grades for drug crimes and homicides. Instead, white-collar workers go undetected because upper-class citizens dress more formally than lower-class citizens. Overall, violence in society plays a major role in our lives due to poverty, gender/sexism, and justice systems. A solution for... middle of paper... in prison in most states they are routinely shackled, preventing them from moving during labor. Incarcerated women in Washington State may not be shackled during childbirth because prison policies prohibit it, although there is no law on the books banning the practice. Only 5 out of 50 states ban this cruel and unusual punishment, and many women spend no more than 24 hours with their newborn before authorities take him away. This shows how inhumane the system works and how unfair it is. Women in prison are also routinely denied basic reproductive health services, such as pregnancy tests, prenatal care, screening and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, and access to abortion services. Men in prison are often seen by loved ones, but women tend to be sent farther away than men, so their children will find it harder to see their mother.
