Avoiding Violence In America

Violence is one of the most exaggerated forms of physical aggression and it can exist for a series of reasons. It involves a person or a group of persons acting against another person or groups of persons with the purpose to achieve one or several diverse goals. In many cases violence results from individuals perceiving the acts of other people as hostile and thus wanting to act against these people before it is too late. Depending on the situation, more or less individuals might get involved in an act of violence, especially when they consider that it would be essential for them to do so.

Violence is not the answer for resolving your problems. Violence can be saved in abounding ways, but they can also end in tragic manners. Violence can cause wounds, injuries, and as well deaths. Consequently, many suffer in pain as you carry the burden of having killed someone.

The manner in which violence is carried out in America has evolved over time and has

The world we live in today is filled with violence everywhere you look. Whether it be through the news, books, video games, or movies, society is constantly being bombarded with violence and war. Growing up, children learn at an early age that violence can solve any problem. Violence is never the answer. People who act out in violence ruin their own lives and others' lives as well. People die for no reason every day from unstable men, women, and children that act out violently. According to the WHO, World Health Organization, one person is killed every minute. Most problems of this world can be solved peacefully; however, people choose to act out violently instead of working

The violence I see most is cased by a difference in beliefs. For example, hunters and non-hunters. One of the first things a hunter is taught, is the importance of being respectful, not just to the animals and their habitat but to the people who don’t share the same beliefs. Many people don’t believe in hunting, they think it’s cruel and unethical. However, there are just as many people who do believe in it. Violence can, and has, been caused by the difference in beliefs between hunters and non-hunters. I have read about it, seen it on television, and even once saw an argument about it at school.

The pattern I see when it comes to violence in our society is that people get so angry and frustrated from a situation that they decide to cause harm. The situation might not even directly affect them, but since they believe they need justice from this situation, that they might take it in their own hands to get justice. The people creating violence believe that the only way to solve their problem is to create havoc, but it usually makes the situation worse.

Throughout history, violence has led to destruction of societies, the oppression of cultures, the murder of innocents and the needless destruction of valuable property; but when justified, violence has positive outcomes such as the birth of civilisations, the defeat of evil and the liberation of the oppressed. Violence is often justified on two occasions, when you are defending yourself or others from an act of violence, or as a last resort if you are being threatened. While using violence on these occasions is justified, when not warranted violence is a malicious force that should never be unleashed.

Teachers tell children at a young age that violence is never the answer, but in our society, it most commonly seems to be. Take war for example. The first war in recorded history took place in Mesopotamia in 2700 BCE between Sumer and Elam. The reason for the first war was a disagreement that was politic related. After

Violence is an issue in human nature. Everyone has their own definition and their own interpretations of violence. The big question is if the world is still growing in its violent nature, or is it finally reaching its solemn, peaceful generation. The evolution of violence has grown in many different paths from survival of the fittest, genocide, slavery, etc. According to Steven Pinker’s article “Violence Vanquished,” he explains how the world is entering an era of peace because we do not deal with the same violence our ancestors did in the past. That is true. We abolished slavery, stopped brutal wars, and revolutionized with strategies such as commerce. Pinker analyzes his arguments very well, but negates common issues of violence that we still

There are a lot of different types of violence. Today what we deal with is gang violence. Many kids grow up without their fathers this can cause many things to go wrong especially in a household. Another thing wrong with our country is retaliation. Say a loved one dies by gang violence someone close to them would kill them. This would start a ball confusion. And it just keep going on and on. Many kids grow up without a father who’s there to teach them how to be a man. Everyday a kid or teenager joins a gang because they have no male role model. 48% of people own guns for their own safety. There are a lot of risks when taking a firearm into your home. These include accidental shootings, suicide, and domestic violence.

Violence is everywhere, left, right, up, behind, and it is concerning many in the world today. How has violence affected my life? What is the cause violence? What can you do about violence? Recently, it seems as if some people have lost their sense of self-control. More mass murders are developing and some people are afraid of leaving home.

Violence has always been around for years. People always think that by using violence to fight back oppression could end oppression. They think violence is the solution to everything, They think that by fighting back could show the oppressors who is the boss, who is the

Violence has been around for centuries; the first documented act of violence that comes to my mind is the story of Cain and Abel, where Cain murders Abel with a rock because he is jealous. As well as commending wars in the name of peace. Society has been saturating our children in violent acts, through television, movies and games. Thus creating a culture that popularizes violence, making it appear sensational. Furthermore, the constant media reports on violent crime sensationalize these acts.

First of all, violence will always be provoked by some action. Whether it's the unjust social stratification of France in the late 19th century, or the current division of people by their identities and culture; there will always be a reason for conflict and therefore, violence. Which leads into the first point: violence will only lead to more violence. If someone is being harassed, they
