Domestic Violence in Combodia
In another one of my English classes, I am creating lesson plans for a unit on domestic violence. I chose this topic because of the booming social media responses to the Ray Rice incident. A part of my curriculum is that I want there to be global perspective. I want my students to be able to critically analyse DV globally and see how it either compares or contrasts different countries in the world. Thus, expanding their own cultural awareness in the hopes that they will feel some sort of connection to people all over the world. I found this book (link show below) that details domestic violence in Cambodia. A different form of DV however because it talks about the relationship with the citizens of Cambodia with the government, but this only adds to what our definition of Domestic and Violence is. Overall the goal of the unit would be to make DV into a global issue rather than just something that is happening within our own borders.
