Episode 169: Are We Using Too Many Labels for Abuse?

from The Speaking Out on Sex Abuse Podcast · host Jimmy and Clara Hinton

Is the term "abuse" used so much that we are losing efficiency in identifying genuinely threatening people? Labeling is commonplace now and so many people over-label that even people who disagree are labeled as abusers. Our nation is very divided right now and we are losing our focus on being protectors of the innocent. Labels and definitions are important, but if we are using them incorrectly we can do more harm than good. In this episode we talk about the importance of simplifying for the sake of more easily identifying abusive, threatening people.Intro-- Film Glitch by Snowflake (c) copyright 2017 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/snowflake/56350 Ft: reusenoiseOutro-- I Have Often Told You Stories (guitar instrumental) by Ivan Chew (c) copyright 2013 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/ramblinglibrarian/41284
