Even though Arizona and Rhode Island are both states of
the U.S., they are strikingly different in many ways. For
example, the physical size of each state is different. Arizona is
large, having an area of 114,000 square miles, whereas Rhode
Island is only about a tenth the size, having an area of only
1,214 square miles. Another difference is in the size of the
population of each state. Arizona has about four million people
living in it, but Rhode Island has less than one million. The two
states also differ in the kinds of natural environments that each
has. For example, Arizona is a very dry state, consisting of large
desert areas that do not receive much rainfall every year.
However, Rhode Island is located in a temperate zone and
receives an average of 44 inches of rain per year. In addition,
while Arizona is a landlocked state and thus has no seashore,
Rhode Island lies on the Atlantic Ocean and does have a
significant coastline.

Problems of children exposed to domestic violence can
be classified into three main categories. The American
researchers distinguished between emotional and
behavioral, cognitive and longer-term problems. The
first category of problems reflects the effects of
witnessing domestic violence on the emotional
functioning of the children, which are later revealed in
their behavior. This category includes anxiety,
depression, trauma symptoms, temperament problems
and, as a result, aggressive and fearful behavior.
Another kind of problems concerns cognitive
functioning and attitudes of the children. A number of
studies founded the association between witnessing
domestic violence and memory problems, law ability to
concentrate attention and positive attitude concerning
the use of violence.
