College Stock: Penny Stock News

The Dean wants all of his students to do a quick Google search for domestic violence to get an idea of how immense of a problem violence against women is in the United States and other parts of the world.

Upon a closer look, the CollegeStock Community would learn that October is National Domestic Violence Awareness month in the United States and many state governments and organizations are working to bring an end to these acts of violence against women. But as Americans, we are often used to being shown negative events in the media instead of positive efforts by groups, such as $BSTK and STOP A.O.W., looking to stop these terrible things from happening.

Today, a report from Oklahoma describes domestic violence as emotional, financial, mental, physical and sexual in nature and tells us that it comes from one person’s need to control another in order to feel power in the relationship. This source also discusses that “When the one who needs to dominate is losing power, whether perceived or real, in other parts of life, it is the intimate partner who bears the brunt” and is abused.

In Texas, a survey conducted by the Texas Council of Family Violence shows a willingness to blame domestic violence on circumstances beyond the control of the abuser on the victim, instead of finding ways to stop the abuse from happening.

The article promotes domestic violence awareness and tells us that abused women often feel alone and tend to isolate themselves from family and friends, which makes this “vicious cycle” of abuse continue. The Dean believes that groups need to be more proactive in helping others cope with and escape their violent and potentially life-threatening relationship, marriage and unhealthy circumstances.

In states like North Carolina where 54 domestic violence homicides have occurred this year, groups such as Safety from Abuse and Family Education (SAFE) is working to raise awareness of domestic violence by letting people know that services are available to help them get through and, hopefully, out of their abusive relationships.

SAFE’s awareness program includes a 24 hour hotline, court advocacy, shelter, referral information, an abuser treatment program and empowerment classes for survivors. The Dean’s curious why “empowerment classes” are offered for survivors because these types of educational and potential life-saving courses should be offered to all women.

As The Dean has mentioned on a number of occasions, he believes that EMPOWERMENT classes should teach and promote self-defense efforts that change people’s lives for the better. This is why The Dean believes that $BSTK has potential in a number of markets, in addition to providing law enforcement and government agencies with tactical illumination products.

Since October is National Domestic Violence Awareness month, The Dean thinks that groups such as SAFE should explore the option of having the $BSTK team integrate their Lightning Strike Personal Protection System into their empowerment courses to benefit millions of battered and abused women nationwide.

Furthermore, $BSTK‘s self-defense and personal protection strategies can be used by the millions of women in the country to protect themselves in future situations to prevent them from becoming another domestic violence or sexual assault statistic. A knowledge of self-defense brings confidence to women who have been broken down emotionally and psychologically by domestic violence and sexual assault but The Dean believes that $BSTK could be that shining light of hope and empowerment that these women are searching for.

The Dean’s giving away ANY $BSTK PRODUCT to students who kick it up a notch and sign up for a FULL YEAR of TUITION at The Dean’s Honors Class. The deadline for The Dean’s $BSTK PRODUCT GIVEAWAY is December 31, 2009.
