Security Is The Major Issue That Affects Interpersonal Relationships

This world seems to be falling apart, going crazy, or even taking people away out of the blew. One of the main reasons behind that is school shootings. It tends to happen when people think they are taking their kids into a safe environment. School is supposed to be safe, full of kids talking to their friends, teachers, and maybe petting the psychologist’s dog just saying “hi” to the dog. For the longest time school shootings have been climbing, occuring more and more. Everyday, bad things happen which show how humanity is cruel. (table1, Mass Shootings Per Year) this graph is showing how the numbers every year change. Since the year 1982 and 2016, the numbers really do change drastically.

Mental health services and mental health awareness will ensure that our youth are not only physically healthy but mentally as well. Although it is not always the youth who commit these violent acts involving guns, I believe that reaching the youth is the best way for prevention. Robert Ross said it best: “Early detection and treatment is the key. We need to reach troubled children when problems first emerge, while there’s still time to guide them back on the right track” (Ross, 2015, p. 507). According to the United States Government, one out of every four or five adolescents meets the specification for a mental disorder. However, Mental health not only refers to the lack of a mental disorder or disease, but also to well-being emotionally, socially, and psychologically. Children who are mentally healthy are able to adapt to their changing environment, develop healthy relationships, use coping techniques, and more (U.S Government, n.d.). It is important to understand what mental health is and means so that society may better recognize an individual that does not quite meet those metal health standards; this will better aid us in violence prevention.

Unfortunately, the notion of schools being a safe place is no longer a trend across American schools. Disturbing mass shootings in the U.S continue to shock the media. A school shooting is when someone attacks a school using a gun. The Secret Service says these shootings are "deliberately selected as the location for the attack". The reasons massacres occur in schools is because of poor security, violence in video games/media, and bullying. Shockingly the U.S. has the most school shootings than any other country in the world. According to the FBI, mass shootings occur, on average, every 2 weeks in the U.S. While the cause of school shootings are sometimes unpredictable, it is a growing issue and they need to be prevented. Most shooters don’t have mental issues, they have a plan to kill, so there is no singular cause that creates violent people. On April 16th, 2007, the most deadly school massacre occurred. Seung-Hui Cho killed thirty-two students at Virginia-Tech. As Americans, we no longer should turn on the news and witness these gruesome murders. We try to make sense of these murders, but it’s ineffectual. There are measures we can take as a society to help. The number one question in a school massacre is, "why would a person that has a capable sense of mind even do that?” It is our moral responsibility to fix these issues. In order to stop this problem, we need to find its roots.

Barry Buzan offers five explanations for what he terms as ‘the persistent underdevelopment of thinking about security’. The first possible explanation is that the idea has proved too complex to attract analysts, and has therefore been neglected in favour of more tractable concepts. The domain and contradictions of security have not been adequately explored. A second explanation lies in the real

If there were one concept I would uninvent from people’s minds, it would be the idea of committing violence. As a society we fail to realize there are so many effects that stem from one person’s bad thought. . In the World, we spend so much money on defense systems for what we think will happen because there are multiple many ways and reasons for which we commit violence. We are so accustomed to something violent happening wherever we go, that we prepare for something

To discuss the role that matter has in the securities and/ or insecurities of social worlds, this essay will use examples which are discussed in the DD308 course book Security: Sociology and Social worlds. (Carter et al, 2008).

Within the natural world security is very fundamental to survival and living things gravitate towards it. Basic needs such as air, food, water, disease avoidance and shelter from the elements are vital. Within the social world like the natural it forms the basis to which people and society can function well, and explains why security is of primary concern through all spheres of said society. This assignment seeks to look at the role matter plays in making social worlds secure or insecure. This will be done by uncovering that which is often taken for granted about the role materiality plays in the social world through theories, concepts and examples of security in various settings such as the individual, the home, the city and other parts of society.

At the same time, we have a need for positive self-regard - to develop a sense of trust in the accuracy and reliability of our own inner experienced, it is on this we must depend if we are to become independent from and able to make good decisions about life and how we are to be in it.

The quote I chose was by Tennessee Williams and it said, “Security is a kind of death.” This means that when you feel safe and secure about something, you may feel like you have nothing to worry about and ignore the basic tactics that help you succeed and survive. For example, if I have skydived hundreds of times before and I’m completely certified and careful, I feel secure and may be careless and cocky and forget some of the basic procedures.

I wake up and then I put my makeup on. I look in the mirror and clearly can see what’s wrong. It hurts to know that I can’t let my true self show. Now I know it’s time to let those so called “friends” go. We are the minority and time is of the essence so let’s act quick before we learn our lessons. When I am at school, I hear kids yell at me “you think your cool”. And then I think to myself why do people have to be so cruel? Death and being broke, yeah that’s no joke. And it hurts to say that this is happening every day. The cause of violence is not exact but that doesn’t mean go shoot someone in the back. There are attacks every day so, sometimes I just sit down and pray that the violence goes away. Watching the news leaves me in shock and,

Every day students across the country wake up and go to school seeking an education. They learn basic skills and knowledge from classes such as English, math, biology, physics, photography and so many other classes that prepare students for adulthood. However, what is most alarming is that students have to cope with violence that is now occurring in schools. In the past, school violence involved bullying and mistreatment, but in recent decades weapons are now a part of the violence students encounter. Violence is a way for youth to gain authority over their peers. Additionally, violence in schools has promoted a national debate on gun control, bullying and plagued the overall learning experience in school environments. Not only do people need

Violence is something that will always be there, whether it be right up in your face, on a battlefield, or creeping in the darkness, sowing the seeds of despair and resentment in humanity’s hearts, forever changing the landscape of your life to come. Violence has vigorously torn apart relationships that have lasted centuries, all because of a single gunshot, which has led to massive bloodshed, and the loss of many loved ones. Violence is a part of a cycle that is necessary in life, but would rather be avoided, which is why I am here, to help diminish that cycle of hatred, through the power of prevention through education, and self control.

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." -- Helen Keller

Human society, specifically contemporary, argues for a sense of safety at the cost of one’s freedom. As H.L. Mencken wrote, “The average man does not want to be free. He simply wants to be safe.” According to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, “safe” is derived from the Sanskrit word sarva, which is translated as “entire,” while “freedom” is acquired from the Sanskrit word priya, or “one’s own.” Linguistically, safety is already prioritized in the modern world as a state of being whole or a part of oneself within a greater being. Belonging to oneself, however, is a fearful predilection; therefore, the human condition is one in denial of the liberties of being by limitations presented to us by technology and modern life as we know it.

For the latter half of the Twentieth Century, the dominant school of thought related to security was neo-realism. Stemming from works produced by Hobbes, Thucydides, and Machiavelli, followers of the neo-realists paradigm sought to see the world for what it was, rather than what they wished (Crawford 1991; Terrif et al., 1991). Established in 1979
