Question

Describe a stereotype or misconception that you have heard about dating violence, and then explain why that stereotype is not true

Answer 1

Many people say that men are always the ones more likely to be violent towards their partners. This stereotype is definitely not true; though men are often physically superior to women, females often verbally abuse their male partners.

Answer 2

The phrase "dating violence exists because the individual loves too much" is a stereotype.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stereotype is a concept, idea or model of image attributed to someone, individually or within a collectivity, often in a biased and incorrect manner. In short, stereotypes are impressions, labels that are generalized and simplified by common sense.

In cases of dating violence, it is very common for people to associate the fact that someone is violent with his girlfriend or boyfriend because he/she loves too much. This is a highly incorrect and dangerous stereotype. Violence is related to love. Who loves is not violent, is authoritarian and dangerous.
