With power comes responsibility. PART 1
With power comes responsibility. PART 1
Barbadian singer Rihanna had a recent interview on 20/20 with Diane Sawyer in which she proceeded to explain the situation pertaining to singer Chris Brown. The two of them have found themselves as poster children for domestic violence against women, the fact is both entertainers are real stars and therefore role models to many and since the incident there lives have been played out in public.
Chris Brown and Rihanna are now responsible to the public who in part are responsible for making them famous for her part Rihanna has now beholden to young women, mothers and fathers. Young women need role models who appear to make the right relationship choices, mothers want their children to be safe, and fathers want to send the right message.
Chris Brown for his part is beholden to all men and also to himself, he has to know that he is responsible for his action and only through humility will the lesson of the situation make him wiser and thus a better person. Secondly to all men, he can positively contribute to the undertaking of stopping domestic abuse against women. Since it’s not the women’s fault shouldn’t the focus be on trying to stop this practice by helping the abuser(s) change?
Society has responsibilities
As we know, the onus of responsibility is not on the person being abused so maybe we should try to help those men change and not throw rocks at them. Society has to make it possible for those who are abusers to come out, sick help and not hide or get worst.One point to consider is that educational statistics in most developed countries points at women at all level outperforming men.
Being in the media spotlight these two stars now give exposure to an issue highlighted in the United Nations MDG ideals of increasing women’s right and freedom globally. Women make up 50% of all societies, if there were no barriers to their full participation in society the benefit to society would be tremendous. When women elevate their welfare the collateral impact is greater than when men are elevated because they are nurturers and they fend and feed their families.
With all this said it is also important to note that men’s welfare impacts women welfare as well, so since men have been socialized to use power, strength, and aggression as domineering and admired male attributes towards women and themselves, They appear to use them as primary tools in conflict resolution and maybe society should be focusing on the re-engineering of the socialization of men towards women and also themselves.
At the end of the day some men need help and if the focus is directed towards them it in no means removes the focal point of the matter away from solving violence against women and is not at the expense of women or to the detriment of their ideal of eradicating violence against them, but rather to their benefit.
