Violence Is No Understanding Of Peace

Violence affects the way we learn, play and live our daily lives. Nowadays, teens could hang out all day until the lights went out. Yet, due to violence, we can't exactly appreciate that. We don't spend time the way our parents have. They would go to the park, go for a bike ride, take a walk, go to the movies. Now children and teens would entertain themselves by spending a portion of their day on technology and new forms of media. My granddad told me they didn't have to lock their doors back in the day. The generation we live in will never be able to experience the life our parents did all because of violence.

Society has been subjected to many violent acts over the course of its history. Although violence is immoral and wrong, somehow people everyday condone and commit violence for countless reasons. Many Hollywood films glorify mindless violence to their advantage and captivate audiences through its entertaining shock value and rake large box office profits. Car chases, crashes and glorified gladiator sword fights are all familiar scenes in which violence is portrayed in an unrealistic glamorised manner.

Violence is an unavoidable terror that has played one of the, if not the most, important roles in all of history. Without violence, lands wouldn’t be conquered, empires wouldn’t fall, and people wouldn’t have any limits or restrictions. The French Revolution is one example of a violent uprising because the people of France revolted against the rule of King Louis XVI by raiding, storming, and slaughtering for their natural equal rights. The revolution marked the end of a government ruled by monarchy and the start of the Republic of France. One important reason of why the revolution was successful in bringing political change was because it was violent.

Violence is not always the answer to the world’s problems, but it is a great way bring attention to the cause of the problem. Peaceful negotiations is the only way to ensure that the aggressors and opposition both come to an agreement about the best outcome of their situation. Violence creates hate and hate in turn leads to more violence in the long-run thus continuing humanities cycle of self

1984 is a great book which shows the problems with totalitarian regimes. Many point to certian aspects of it and warn that America is on its way to becoming similar to it. I will analyze the possibility of the USA becoming similar to the regime in the book book by looking at the main slogan of the party that runs that regime.

The point of view of A Separate Peace is written in first person from the perspective of protagonist Gene Forrester. The passage reflects the first person point of view by showing the world to the reader from Gene’s eyes, opposed to an anonymous onlooker. Furthermore, the narrator uses I, me and mine pronouns.

generations of extreme violence from the state, and logical decisions about what kind of actions require political result.

Violence has affected people a lot ever since the beginning of the world. Innocent people suffer because of other people's actions and decisions. Violence shouldn't be an option for people because it affects others, doesn't solve anything, and can be avoided.

Some believe a few reasons for thinking why nonviolence could potentially be better rather than violence is because it is less harmful to people, their country, and the world. But most times when a war starts, it is violence that will make it come to an end. Yes, when using violence in war it is going to harm innocent lives, and although this will happen, it will also essentially wipe out the nation you are fighting against. Violence shouldn’t ever have to be the answer, but when it comes to defending yourself you don't have any other choice at that moment. Violent methods are better than non-violent methods because they can end wars. The first example to prove our argument is the Holocaust. They couldn’t have been stopped using non-violent methods since the Nazis were extremely

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.

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

Violence fogs up everyone’s drive down the road of life. Navigating the road of life is already difficult enough, but when you add assault, shootings, and even just a simple slap to the face, it makes tasks much more challenging. Violence is wrong because it affects innocent people, and it’s damaging to developing minds.

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.

The presence of violence is all around us; embedded in our everyday lives. Such acts may be masked and subtle; while others are exposed and evident. One thing, however, is certain, a single act of violence creates a rippling effect of repercussions. The use of violence “can often leave much longer lasting residues of violence which return again in the future” (Brand-Jacobsen, 2005, p. 12). This cycle of malice and destruction must end. Thus, where does one begin to initiate change? Awareness is key in the stand against violence. For I cannot solve the problem if I am incognizant of it preying in plain sight. Moreover, claims of ignorance and partial justification are not acceptable excuses to dismiss or ignore the veracity of violence among us. I believe just as violence can propagate from one act, so can acts of peace.

There is certainly no peace at all. But they don’t lose hope. They still fight for what is right, they still fight for peace and freedom. Striving for peace is not easy to achieve, but if you have the spirit and willingness, you will be able feel the power of peace. Instead of seeking inner peace, we seek to enforce peace on others. And that just doesn't work. Peace is a gift you can give to others and to yourself
