The role of a leader is to set vision and direction for an organization, and transformational leader “is often depicted as having charisma, or personal magnetism” (Golensky, 2011, p. 73). The most important attributes of this type of leader are self-confidence, determination, vision, and motivation which inspire followers to embrace the proposed change. In addition to having a moral purpose and a compelling vision for the future, transformational leader also “sets a personal example for followers to emulate and demonstrates confidence in the proposed new direction through frequent communications and interactions with other group members” (Golensky, 2011, p. 73).

The violence in America is increasing. Violence has always been and continues to be a problem all individuals are facing. This issue has been among the people because there is always something to encourage it. Since the news on television is continuously covering stories about murders and violent acts, it becomes a common thing for society to view. Furthermore, people are still racist till this day. Moreover, a certain individual can influence a person in a negative way. On the other hand, there are significant amount of people who believe the rate of violence has been decreasing throughout the years. Although some argue that violence is in decline, media, racism, and negative influences cause it to increase.

Defined, a subculture is a culture that exists within the main dominant culture of a society. Therefore, members of a subculture will have different norms and values to those in the rest of society, which in turn could lead to them being seen as deviant because of this. Youth subcultures provide members with an identity that sits outside of that assigned by social foundations such as family, school, home and work. Participants of a subculture often make people aware of their membership by making characteristic and symbolic choices in the way they dress, style their hair, what footwear they wear, and intangible choice in interests, dialect, music genre and meeting places.

Homicide is the act when a person is killing other people. Homicide has been studied from different theoretical and methodological perspectives.

Overall violent crime and property offenses declined slightly last year across much of the country, continuing a downward trajectory even as some communities battled disparate surges in violence, according to a new FBI report. Robbery recorded the largest decline at 5.6%, and murder was down 0.5% in 2014, but rape and aggravated assault ticked up 2.4% and 2%, respectively, the report found. Property offenses dropped in each category: Burglary was down 10.5%, larceny-theft declined by nearly 3% and vehicle thefts declined by 1.5%. Long one of the most contentious parts of the annual FBI crime report has been its count of civilians killed by police. That count, averaging about 400 per year, has been criticized as inaccurate as it is drawn only

In the modern age, many problems can be solved quickly and effectively by having a thoughtful discussion with both belligerents. However, depending on the severity of the problem, the direness of the situation, and the time one has to react, a violent solution may be the only option. There are those who believe that violence should be abhorred and never resorted to, but those who think that are optimistic dreamers who are living in a false reality. Of course, if everyone shared their viewpoint, fights may never occur, but one has to accept the fact that some people will just refuse to stand down or accept something other than exactly what they want. This is why a level headed person with a strong moral compass needs to be able to recognize when a situation calls for a peaceful diplomatic solution, or, if diplomacy fails, a call to action. Violence can solve problems, is used in politics, employed by police, and is expressed through American superheroes. While violence is not the only way out of problems, sometimes it is the best reasonable solution. Those who succumb to the idea to use violence to achieve their goals will generally overcome their less confrontational challengers—overturning the results of elections, riding wildly over peaceful expressions of political opinion. Most of the time, the mere threat of violence is enough to induce submission. Violent groups can usually be defeated only by enemies who use superior force against them, which is why, in order to

Violence is a concept which can be felt more aptly than defined. The word ‘violence’ rightly mentions the causation of injury or harm.It is an umbrella term that incorporates a broad range of violence.Different political analysts and psychologists have defined violence in their own institutionalized way.

Large or small, crime affects us all. Whether it is presented to you on a personal level, or you happened to have heard it one the news while you and your family were enjoying a nice Sunday meal. In the words of Jeff Mariotte “Crime touches us all” (Mariotte, Jeff P1). This is shown to us in the popular television series Criminal Minds because of the way the producers and show writers portray the act of crimes as well as the accuracy of the crime, the inside look of what is going on in the criminals’ mind; hence the name of the show Criminal Minds, along with the study of psychology and forensic science, not so much the crime itself but why the criminal is doing what they do.

Violence has always been a part of human experience. In a world where there is a competition to supersede others in every respect, violence is a powerful weapon of dominance and subjugation. Every year millions of people are victims of self-inflicted, interpersonal or collective violence which leads to loss of lives or physical injuries and serious psychological effects.
