1. Intentional injuries are those that are caused by deliberate harm or violence towards oneself or others, such as assault, suicide, or homicide. Unintentional injuries are those that occur without intent, such as accidents or negligence, like falling down the stairs or getting burnt while cooking.
2. Injury prevention refers to the efforts made to reduce the risk of injuries occurring. Examples of ways to prevent specific injuries include wearing a seatbelt to prevent injuries in car accidents, installing window guards to prevent children from falling out of windows, and wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle to prevent head injuries.
3. Healthy risk-taking behavior involves taking calculated risks that have positive outcomes, such as trying a new sport or hobby. Unhealthy risk-taking behavior, on the other hand, involves taking risks that have negative consequences, such as substance abuse or dangerous driving.
4. The five types of violence are physical violence (causing harm through physical force), sexual violence (forcing someone to engage in sexual acts against their will), emotional violence (using words or actions to hurt someone emotionally), psychological violence (manipulating or controlling someone through intimidation or threats), and economic violence (using financial control to exert power over someone).
5. Bullying can have negative effects on both the bully and the victim. The bully may develop aggressive behavior, low self-esteem, and a lack of empathy. The victim may experience depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and academic difficulties.
6. One strategy for preventing violent behavior is conflict resolution techniques. The steps for conflict resolution include: identifying the issue, listening to each other’s perspectives, brainstorming solutions, evaluating the options, and coming to a mutually agreed upon solution.
