What do most sociologist argue is the most-devastating family disruption? a. interracial marriage c. family violence b. changing religious faiths d. divorce

The correct answer is C.

Family violence is the most- devastating family disruption because of its lasting effects.

It can cause physical and psychological harm and it can easily pass from one generation to the next, creating a viscous circle of repetitive, violent and very difficult to break up patterns. If a child experiences domestic violence at home, he or she is more likely to become a violent adolescent themselves as violence is the only defense mechanism they know.

Family violence can effect physical and mental health and lead to many problems later in life. Domestic violence victims lack self esteem and have problems associating themselves with other people. They may never be able to form a loving relationship and they may end up lonely, socially isolated or even homeless.
