Essay On Importance Of Violence
Words, Not Fists
I was raised believing that violence is solely causing physical harm to someone or something.
Recently I learned that violence is not only physical and can also be, "... verbal, symbolic,
psychological and spiritual displays of hostility and hatred" (Guinan 8). Growing up, I was taught
that violence is never the answer, and that if a conflict were to arise there are always numerous
solutions to whatever the conflict may be that does not include violence. For example, Gandhi used
non–violent acts to counteract violence throughout his lifetime. Gandhi 's life legacy shows us that
you can resolve violent situations without using violence to respond to it. Furthermore, I was taught
to never fight violence with violence, for...show more content...
At that age, although I did not speak fluently I understood most of what was being said around me.
I remember the looks, and the stares we would get from the people around us when I translated for
my parents. I remember sales representatives taking advantage of my parents' inability to
comprehend and speak English.
In fact, the first time I remember translating for my mom was for this exact situation. We went to
Macy's to buy my dad a watch for his birthday. When we came to the register the saleswoman
asked my mom if she wanted to open up a credit card, to which my mom declined because she
wanted to avoid extra household expenses. However, the saleswomen kept pushing and pushing
telling us that we would get a discount if we did, and that we could pay it off right away and not
receive a bill in the mail. Sales Pitch after sales pitch my mom reluctantly opened the credit card
paying the amount due in cash immediately afterwards. A month later we got a bill in the mail from
Macy's telling us that we owed them the amount that the watch was. Furious my mom rushed to the
store with me and told me to explain the situation to the manager of the store. Needless to say, the
manager did not take a seven–year–old child seriously, and she didn't even look twice at my mom.
We left the store and my mom told me to call the credit card company and explain to them what had
happened so that we wouldn't have to pay twice. I clearly remember her saying, "Deepen

Violence And Its Effect On Society
Introduction 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. Reflection I am guilty of turning a
blind eye in the face of violence (structural and cultural). I have walked away and dismissed it in
my mind because to acknowledge it makes it real. And once it becomes real, I have to do
something about it. By nature, I am a very anxious person. As such, I am uncomfortable with
uncharted waters and conflict. I do not instigate or involve myself in conflict to keep my stress
level at a minimum. Therefore, I adamantly avoid situations with a propensity for violence at all
costs. Until this class, I was uninformed of the various forms of violence with the exception of
direct violence. However, I believe the

Essay on Violence As A Social Problem
Violence is a social problem that increases over the years. Violence is not so much shown in
magazines and books as it is on television and the media. This does not mean that violence on
television is the only source for aggressive or violent behavior, but it is a significant contributor.
Children can also pick up violence from a parent or guardian at an early age. Peers are important in
a child's life. It has been psychologically proven that males are more aggressive than females.
Therefore, if a child's peers are being aggressive, their actions tend to be imitated.
American children watch an average of three to four hours of television daily, which can be a
powerful influence in developing value systems...show more content...
Some people fail to see that they are being imitated and looked upon as a role model from those
younger than them. If a babysitter is listening to music that contains violent lyrics or profanity, they
should not be shocked if the child copies it. Parents' arguments are also taken in by the child.
Parents should try not to show violence towards each other when around a child. They should also
disapprove of the violent episodes in front of the children, stressing the belief that such behavior is
not the best way to resolve a problem.
A child's peers mean a lot to their attitude whether one wants to believe it or not. It blends in with
their need to fit in. Popularity is what one hopes and dreams for during their teenage years.
Therefore, children try to duplicate others actions. This factor may tend to lead to racial or sexual
stereotyping consequently making the child believe that anyone different from these characteristics
should be punished. This takes the child into the stage of what type of music to listen to as spoken
about before.
Everyday we are all caught in a losing battle, the challenge of our society to preserve safety for
children and protect them from violence and guns. The facts are that violence is everywhere, it is
impossible to ignore them. It even seems as though no one recognized this as their problem

Violence : Violence And Violence
1. The internet says that violence means the behavior involving physical force intended to hurt,
damage, or kill someone or something. Violence is more than that. To me violence means to bring
harm or exert negativity to someone whether it's verbally, physically, emotionally, sexually,
psychologically, spiritually, culturally, and financially or neglect.Violence comes in different forms
and to just define it as being a physical thing is presenting or forming a problem in our society
today. We tend to make something like this as just one thing when violence can be exerted in
different ways. A person can be violent towards someone by just cursing at them or by verbally
insulting them. Violence comes any different forms. You don't have to physically hit someone to
be violent. If people would think of violence as being more than just physical violence would
decrease because we as people would be aware of violence and try to prevent from acting out
violent acts. There are different things or factors that label something as being a sort of violent act.
I would consider something as being violent due to the content that is being used by users. It
wouldn't matter who it is being presented towards because it doesn't matter. Violence is Violence. I
would say that it is very hard to label something as being violent because violence acts occur
frequently more times than usually around friends when playing. For an example when two females

Three Levels Of Violence Essay
The three degrees of violence I chose are physical violence, verbal violence, and prejudice. All of
the types of violence I chose can be very hurtful, whether it hurts someone physically or
emotionally. Violence is present everywhere. We see it on the news, we see it in person, we hear
about it, and it's overall all around us. Violence has always happened no matter when or where you
are.
The type that I rank first from the list would have to be verbal violence just because I believe it is
the most powerful and hurtful. In Romeo and Juliet, verbal violence was somewhat present, but not
as much as physical violence. When people from each of the houses saw each other and could not

Social Problem Of Violence Against Women
Violence against women is huge social problem. It is not just a women's problem but also a men's
problem. Violence against women is seen everywhere in the world, especial those who live in more
patriarchal society. We are in a world where we see violence against women as a big issue but we
have done very little to dissolve it. Violence against women is everywhere, at home, at the
workplace, and even outside, in the places in between. Violence against women does not
discriminate, it touches every race and at every age. Many violence against women are left without
punishment. No matter how small or how big the violence is, it needs to be addressed. Violence
against women is very much workplace as any other place. Violence against women is mostly seen
when the person initiating violence is in a higher position then a women. This leads to many acts of
violence left unpunished or resolved. Because those initiating the violence is mostly male who are
the boss or the manager, females do not speak up and report it. Females will most likely not
report it because they will not like to lose their job, they would believe no one will believe them,
and it would cost to much drama and talk in the workplace. Just a slap or a push is left unreported
because females believes they are minor things compared to other things. Plus, females in the
workplace still have to deal with sexual harassment. So, most little things are left unreported

Essay about School Violence
Over the past several years, an epidemic of school violence has overtaken our nation. From monthly
shootings, to daily bomb threats around the country, violence is becoming more and more common
in schools. It is typical to hear about acts of violence among our youth everyday on the news.
Although more numerous in cities, this violence does not discriminate against inner city or suburban
areas; it happens everywhere. When addressing this quick spread of crime, one can inquire as to its
history and why it happens, myths about school violence, and how was can taper it, by the use of
technology.

3 Practical School Security). This is not the case; while there are problems that are "normal,"
sometimes they are not handled correctly or thoroughly. Often things are handled administratively
but not given to law enforcements to deal with. For instance, if theft occurs in the school, the law
should be involved, due to the fact that theft is against the law. However, this is not the case in a
lot of school systems. Young adults then may get the notion that is "ok" to steal, vandalize, and be
aggressive towards one another with no consequences. Sometimes, if a young adult commits a
crime, there needs to be more of a consequence then simply being suspended from school. The
school systems reason for not reporting crimes has to do alot with politics. The administration does
not want bad publicity, or they "fear for being blamed and not doing their job correctly" (23).
Another major reason for not reporting school–based crimes is the media. If there is violence in a
school, it will be publicized in the media. In reality, the school system needs to be on the same page
with the police, so they can help one another out.
The top five issues that are capturing the attention of the U.S. is "aggression and violent behavior,
drugs, weapons, gangs, and 'Stranger danger'" (p.5) These are the issues that have parents concerned,

Essay about Justification Of Violence
Justification of Violence
Violence and the justification of it has been an issue for as long as the world has been in existence.
There are many conflicting opinions on the subject, many in favor and many opposing the idea. I
am personally split on the issue; I believe that in some cases, violence can be justified; however, I
also believe that in others, it cannot be.
In my opinion, the only instance in which violence can be justified is self–defense. I believe that if
an innocent person is attacked for some reason and their life is put in danger, they have the right to
fight back to save themselves. How can a person let themselves be attacked and do nothing to help
themselves survive? It's almost unreasonable to believe that. There are...show more content...
But, I believe that when you hit a child when they do something wrong, they don't repeat the action
because they're afraid of the consequences, rather than understanding why they shouldn't do it again.
It gives the wrong impression on the child and teaches them that violence is okay if you're trying to
teach someone a lesson, so they carry this over into their lives when they get older, and the chain of
violence is never broken.
War, in general, I believe, is ineffective. I think that it totally uses the wrong reasons for countries to
agree to compromise. It's amazing that before war, countries are totally against one another, yet after
blowing away half of each other's population, they're willing to talk. It makes you think.
I think that if countries would talk out their problems in a more peaceful manner, they would
much easier come up with plans that would include both of their needs and desires. I think the
world uses war in the wrong way; they're in wars to show their own power and prove themselves
to the world. War is not only bad because of those reasons. It is also negative because innocent men
and women from the involved countries are killed. Even if they couldn't care less about what was
going on, they are drafted to fight for their country. And many of them die, which is really
depressing, because they didn't

Violence And Violence In Literature
Authors use violence to portray many different things while they write books. Violence adds
shock to readers which makes them want to continue reading the book that they are reading. This
shock makes the authors have more options to write about and gives them a lot of flexibility,
which will help make their writing even better than it already is. To go along with shock,
violence can also add emotion to the readers which makes them understand characters even more.
Readers may feel sympathy for a character if a someone close to them dies in a violent way. Many
authors rely on violence for their success as a writer. In the book How to Read Literature Like a
Professor , the author, Thomas Foster reflects on how without the use of violence many writers
would be nowhere today. "Violence is everywhere in literature. We'd lose most of Shakespeare
without it ...Twain... Fitzgerald...Hemingway...and on and on" (Foster 103). Without the presence
of violence, several authors would have no career in being an author. Authors also use violence to
make novels be more realistic. Everyone goes through violence in their life and they have some
sort of downfall. Since authors use it in their books, it makes the readers feel like the book is
more sensible while they read. Violence is used by an author in literature because it adds the
element of shock which make readers want to keep on reading, and it adds emotion to the readers
so they can feel for the characters. The first component of why

"Through violence you may 'solve' one problem, but you sow the seeds for another." Dalai Lama. If
there wasn't the power of the pen, then what would be left? Even though some people may argue
that the sword is more powerful than the pen, the pen is more powerful.
What would the world be like if we always fixed our problems using the force of violence? The

I believe the social world greatly influences your understanding and awareness of violence. The

situations in a more violent behavior. When children spend more time watching TV, they become
more susceptible to the violent actions that they watch on the screen, just as the studies showed. If
you are constantly exposed to violent tendencies, you are more aware of the violence around you and

Violence against children is a phenomenon happening worldwide, in forms of physical,
psychological violence. Children are deprived of care, basic social services, health care and
education, child abuse, neglect, exploitation, forced to beg, trafficked. Children are still one of the
social groups at risk, facing many problems that remain unresolved. Although the consequences may
vary according to the type and severity of the violence, the short and long–term consequences for
children are very often serious and destructive and are costly. The laws that protect children's rights
are often not effective.

characteristics of the victim and abuser, the...show more content...
Acceptance of child abuse is also an important factor: both children and abusers may accept physical,
sexual and psychological violence as inevitable and normal. Discipline through physical and
humiliating punishment, bullying and sexual harassment are often perceived as normal, especially
when they do not result in harm "visible" or lasting. Suffering children are invisible when cases of
abuse or neglect are not claimed, in certain situations; people do not trust the police, social services
and other state authorities. In the current period more than ever, to prevent any unsuitable behavior,
it must be well justified and financially prepared. There is little information available about the
global economic costs of violence against children. However, the bill for such actions against
children proves to be high. The variety of short and long term consequences associated with violence
against children suggests that there are significant economic costs to society. Thus, the U.S., the cost
of abuse and neglect was about 103.8 billion USD in 2007, the estimated annual cost of child abuse
and neglect in the United States for 2008 is $124 billion. including both direct costs associated with
early intervention, medical treatment and associated psychological and indirect consequences

Joanne H Steward and Franco Follina (2006) say that literature review has discussed evidence on
the impact of exposure to violence on aggressive and inappropriate behavior. The review has
provided mainly evidence that exposure to media violence affects a person's behavior negatively
and has been noted to have a detrimental effect on pro–social behavior, both in the long and short
term. So not only are we is the media contributing to violence in children, but it can also affect

45–52). To television Programmers, violence is depicted as a normal, justified response to conflict
and threat. They will encourage identification with the aggressor; domination and submission, to
them, are often equated with pleasure and worth. Yet numerous researchers have put much time
into discovering why children are so attached by the television and the action that takes place
within it. They prove that it is definitely a major source of violent behavior in children. Their
research proves time and time again that aggression and television viewing do go hand in hand.
The truth about television violence and children has been shown. Many people and critics try to
ignore it and hope that it will go away. Others do not even seem to care and try to attack these
ideas. However, the facts are undeniable and all the results point to one conclusion: Television
violence causes children to be violent and the effects can be life–long. The effects of the television
are first visible even at the most basic level of life, children and adolescents. The modern–day extent
of viewing by humans, especially Americans, is astronomical. Children begin to watch television at

Is Violence ever justified
Is violence ever justified? The debate about the use of violence has been on going for the last
decade. Violence, the act of causing physical harm to another person willingly, has often been
categorized as being an uncivilized, unjustified act. It is mostly known, and commonsensical
knowledge that attacking or inflicting harm upon another person is "wrong". Most of us frown
upon people who resort to such violent acts, and they are punishable by law. However, as we
progress into the 21st century, the line of when the use of violence can ever be "right" or justified is
getting increasingly blurred. The need for war, punishment, and even domestic violence can be said
to deter further violence or stop present violence from exacerbating....show more content...
When such actions are clouded with alcohol, or not done in a rational state of mind, this violence
cannot be justified. Such disciplinary actions can also inflict adverse effects on children instead.
For example, children may start to be afraid of their parents, or be even more rebellious. It is also
in the belief of some parents that it is wrong to lay a finger on their children, regardless of whether
disciplining them in this way can correct their actions. Another instance when violence can be
justified is when one is protecting himself from another person's attacks. It is only human nature to
protect oneself, in the only way one knows how to. For example, if one was held at gun–point and
given the chance, one would definitely rib his attacker and proceed to inflict harm on him in any
way, to make an escape. In times of desperation, violence is seen as the only way out and thus can
be justified. A gray area in using violence as an act of self–defence has recently been challenged in
the Trayvon Martin incident that happened in Florida, USA. George Zimmerman, a 28 year old
Hispanic, fatally shot 17– year –old African American Martin, as an act of self–defence, although the
teenager did not carry any lethal weapons on him. The fact that Zimmerman could have made an
error in his judgment, yet proceeded to assault and shoot the teenager has brought up questions and
protests as to whether violence is justified when merely assuming another to be a threat to one's

Persuasive Essay On Violence
Violence is a controversial topic and has generated much debate. Many people are of the opinion
that violence is never acceptable and should never be tolerated, but this is not true. Violence is not
a moral thing and can result in terror, pain, and chaos. Therefore, it makes sense that violence
should always, if possible, be avoided. However, violence is justified if it is in self–defense or in the
defense of others. Violence is never warranted if used for one's own gain, to exact revenge, or to
exert power, but in the defense of human life, it is sometimes necessary.
Some may disagree and argue that it doesn't matter the situation, violence is never necessary, but
there is an abundance of evidence that proves this to be false. Without the brave soldiers of the
late 1770s battling against the tyranny of the King of England, The United States could still be
under British rule. Without brave people fighting for justice and peace in World War II, this
world would very likely be a much darker place. Violence in the form of defense of other human
beings is necessary and noble. After the horrific terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, former
President George W. Bush said in his address to the nation, "America has stood down enemies
before, and we will do so this time. We go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just

necessary, is in self–defense. When one is being

It's easy to say that a person is against violence and bullying. But actively, working to make peace

children have caring adults in their lives. If they grow up without care and respect, they might end
up being unpleasant and cruel. Also, talk to a doctor, nurse, or therapist for help with these
behaviors. Look for healthy ways to reduce stress. Try exercise, deep–breathing or other relaxation
techniques, and reaching out for support to friends, family, and community groups. Give the kids
full attention when they are young and giving care. Maybe, helping children find something they
are good at and offer achievements. Make a decision to identify and raise consciousness of violence

Violence is one of the most problematic issues society faces today, and it has been increasing day
after day, in the streets of our cities. The most common description of what violence really is can be
given as negativity towards something or someone either through physical or verbal actions, which
often causes the victim to suffer pain. The different types of violence that exist in our multi–cultural
society are out–numbered, but the most evident ones are domestic, gang, sexual, and racial violence.
While violence can definitely be reduced, it will never be eliminated due to the nature of humans.

On October 24 2000, a news article headline read, "Gang wars 6 Dead". This event had taken place
in Etobicoke, and the news article contained sentences like "Six victims in six months" and
"calculated executions". It also contained terms like "Bloods" and "Crips". These terms and
sentences have officially crossed the border and have become all too familiar in Canadian cities.
In order to cut back this outlaw behaviour, we need to educate our youth about the ill effects of
gangs, drugs, guns, and should try to persuade them to instead make friends with those who accept
you for who you are and use all their time in doing something positive and proactive. As a result of
reducing and preventing gang violence, many cities have created special task forces and given
schools their own police officers.
Sexual violence is another form of violence that has plagued our cities. This crime involves violence
that is specifically sexual in nature, to which the victim does not give consent. According to 2005
statistics, 51% of all Canadian women have experienced at least one incident of sexual violence. 6
out of 10 victims who reported being sexually violated were under 17. These numbers are alarming
and scary. It is extremely important to get rid of such sinister crimes in our communities because it
robs the victims of their innocence, self–esteem, confidence, and even trust in our society. The

Essay Violence

  • 1. Essay On Importance Of Violence Words, Not Fists I was raised believing that violence is solely causing physical harm to someone or something. Recently I learned that violence is not only physical and can also be, "... verbal, symbolic, psychological and spiritual displays of hostility and hatred" (Guinan 8). Growing up, I was taught that violence is never the answer, and that if a conflict were to arise there are always numerous solutions to whatever the conflict may be that does not include violence. For example, Gandhi used non–violent acts to counteract violence throughout his lifetime. Gandhi 's life legacy shows us that you can resolve violent situations without using violence to respond to it. Furthermore, I was taught to never fight violence with violence, for...show more content... At that age, although I did not speak fluently I understood most of what was being said around me. I remember the looks, and the stares we would get from the people around us when I translated for my parents. I remember sales representatives taking advantage of my parents' inability to comprehend and speak English. In fact, the first time I remember translating for my mom was for this exact situation. We went to Macy's to buy my dad a watch for his birthday. When we came to the register the saleswoman asked my mom if she wanted to open up a credit card, to which my mom declined because she wanted to avoid extra household expenses. However, the saleswomen kept pushing and pushing telling us that we would get a discount if we did, and that we could pay it off right away and not receive a bill in the mail. Sales Pitch after sales pitch my mom reluctantly opened the credit card paying the amount due in cash immediately afterwards. A month later we got a bill in the mail from Macy's telling us that we owed them the amount that the watch was. Furious my mom rushed to the store with me and told me to explain the situation to the manager of the store. Needless to say, the manager did not take a seven–year–old child seriously, and she didn't even look twice at my mom. We left the store and my mom told me to call the credit card company and explain to them what had happened so that we wouldn't have to pay twice. I clearly remember her saying, "Deepen Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Violence And Its Effect On Society Introduction 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. Reflection I am guilty of turning a blind eye in the face of violence (structural and cultural). I have walked away and dismissed it in my mind because to acknowledge it makes it real. And once it becomes real, I have to do something about it. By nature, I am a very anxious person. As such, I am uncomfortable with uncharted waters and conflict. I do not instigate or involve myself in conflict to keep my stress level at a minimum. Therefore, I adamantly avoid situations with a propensity for violence at all costs. Until this class, I was uninformed of the various forms of violence with the exception of direct violence. However, I believe the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Essay on Violence As A Social Problem Violence is a social problem that increases over the years. Violence is not so much shown in magazines and books as it is on television and the media. This does not mean that violence on television is the only source for aggressive or violent behavior, but it is a significant contributor. Children can also pick up violence from a parent or guardian at an early age. Peers are important in a child's life. It has been psychologically proven that males are more aggressive than females. Therefore, if a child's peers are being aggressive, their actions tend to be imitated. American children watch an average of three to four hours of television daily, which can be a powerful influence in developing value systems...show more content... Some people fail to see that they are being imitated and looked upon as a role model from those younger than them. If a babysitter is listening to music that contains violent lyrics or profanity, they should not be shocked if the child copies it. Parents' arguments are also taken in by the child. Parents should try not to show violence towards each other when around a child. They should also disapprove of the violent episodes in front of the children, stressing the belief that such behavior is not the best way to resolve a problem. A child's peers mean a lot to their attitude whether one wants to believe it or not. It blends in with their need to fit in. Popularity is what one hopes and dreams for during their teenage years. Therefore, children try to duplicate others actions. This factor may tend to lead to racial or sexual stereotyping consequently making the child believe that anyone different from these characteristics should be punished. This takes the child into the stage of what type of music to listen to as spoken about before. Everyday we are all caught in a losing battle, the challenge of our society to preserve safety for children and protect them from violence and guns. The facts are that violence is everywhere, it is impossible to ignore them. It even seems as though no one recognized this as their problem Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Violence : Violence And Violence 1. The internet says that violence means the behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something. Violence is more than that. To me violence means to bring harm or exert negativity to someone whether it's verbally, physically, emotionally, sexually, psychologically, spiritually, culturally, and financially or neglect.Violence comes in different forms and to just define it as being a physical thing is presenting or forming a problem in our society today. We tend to make something like this as just one thing when violence can be exerted in different ways. A person can be violent towards someone by just cursing at them or by verbally insulting them. Violence comes any different forms. You don't have to physically hit someone to be violent. If people would think of violence as being more than just physical violence would decrease because we as people would be aware of violence and try to prevent from acting out violent acts. There are different things or factors that label something as being a sort of violent act. I would consider something as being violent due to the content that is being used by users. It wouldn't matter who it is being presented towards because it doesn't matter. Violence is Violence. I would say that it is very hard to label something as being violent because violence acts occur frequently more times than usually around friends when playing. For an example when two females or males are talking to one another and they Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Three Levels Of Violence Essay The three degrees of violence I chose are physical violence, verbal violence, and prejudice. All of the types of violence I chose can be very hurtful, whether it hurts someone physically or emotionally. Violence is present everywhere. We see it on the news, we see it in person, we hear about it, and it's overall all around us. Violence has always happened no matter when or where you are. The type that I rank first from the list would have to be verbal violence just because I believe it is the most powerful and hurtful. In Romeo and Juliet, verbal violence was somewhat present, but not as much as physical violence. When people from each of the houses saw each other and could not fight, many of them were arguing or talking bad about each other Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. Social Problem Of Violence Against Women Violence against women is huge social problem. It is not just a women's problem but also a men's problem. Violence against women is seen everywhere in the world, especial those who live in more patriarchal society. We are in a world where we see violence against women as a big issue but we have done very little to dissolve it. Violence against women is everywhere, at home, at the workplace, and even outside, in the places in between. Violence against women does not discriminate, it touches every race and at every age. Many violence against women are left without punishment. No matter how small or how big the violence is, it needs to be addressed. Violence against women is very much workplace as any other place. Violence against women is mostly seen when the person initiating violence is in a higher position then a women. This leads to many acts of violence left unpunished or resolved. Because those initiating the violence is mostly male who are the boss or the manager, females do not speak up and report it. Females will most likely not report it because they will not like to lose their job, they would believe no one will believe them, and it would cost to much drama and talk in the workplace. Just a slap or a push is left unreported because females believes they are minor things compared to other things. Plus, females in the workplace still have to deal with sexual harassment. So, most little things are left unreported because, even though, we believe we live in a more Get more content on HelpWriting.net

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.

  • 8. Essay about School Violence Over the past several years, an epidemic of school violence has overtaken our nation. From monthly shootings, to daily bomb threats around the country, violence is becoming more and more common in schools. It is typical to hear about acts of violence among our youth everyday on the news. Although more numerous in cities, this violence does not discriminate against inner city or suburban areas; it happens everywhere. When addressing this quick spread of crime, one can inquire as to its history and why it happens, myths about school violence, and how was can taper it, by the use of technology. History of School Violence The history of violence in schools has no set pattern, but statistics report back to the 1970s. In 1978, a ...show more content... 3 Practical School Security). This is not the case; while there are problems that are "normal," sometimes they are not handled correctly or thoroughly. Often things are handled administratively but not given to law enforcements to deal with. For instance, if theft occurs in the school, the law should be involved, due to the fact that theft is against the law. However, this is not the case in a lot of school systems. Young adults then may get the notion that is "ok" to steal, vandalize, and be aggressive towards one another with no consequences. Sometimes, if a young adult commits a crime, there needs to be more of a consequence then simply being suspended from school. The school systems reason for not reporting crimes has to do alot with politics. The administration does not want bad publicity, or they "fear for being blamed and not doing their job correctly" (23). Another major reason for not reporting school–based crimes is the media. If there is violence in a school, it will be publicized in the media. In reality, the school system needs to be on the same page with the police, so they can help one another out. The top five issues that are capturing the attention of the U.S. is "aggression and violent behavior, drugs, weapons, gangs, and 'Stranger danger'" (p.5) These are the issues that have parents concerned, rather than the vandalism or the one on one fights.

  • 9. Essay about Justification Of Violence Justification of Violence Violence and the justification of it has been an issue for as long as the world has been in existence. There are many conflicting opinions on the subject, many in favor and many opposing the idea. I am personally split on the issue; I believe that in some cases, violence can be justified; however, I also believe that in others, it cannot be. In my opinion, the only instance in which violence can be justified is self–defense. I believe that if an innocent person is attacked for some reason and their life is put in danger, they have the right to fight back to save themselves. How can a person let themselves be attacked and do nothing to help themselves survive? It's almost unreasonable to believe that. There are...show more content... But, I believe that when you hit a child when they do something wrong, they don't repeat the action because they're afraid of the consequences, rather than understanding why they shouldn't do it again. It gives the wrong impression on the child and teaches them that violence is okay if you're trying to teach someone a lesson, so they carry this over into their lives when they get older, and the chain of violence is never broken. War, in general, I believe, is ineffective. I think that it totally uses the wrong reasons for countries to agree to compromise. It's amazing that before war, countries are totally against one another, yet after blowing away half of each other's population, they're willing to talk. It makes you think. I think that if countries would talk out their problems in a more peaceful manner, they would much easier come up with plans that would include both of their needs and desires. I think the world uses war in the wrong way; they're in wars to show their own power and prove themselves to the world. War is not only bad because of those reasons. It is also negative because innocent men and women from the involved countries are killed. Even if they couldn't care less about what was going on, they are drafted to fight for their country. And many of them die, which is really depressing, because they didn't Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. Violence And Violence In Literature Authors use violence to portray many different things while they write books. Violence adds shock to readers which makes them want to continue reading the book that they are reading. This shock makes the authors have more options to write about and gives them a lot of flexibility, which will help make their writing even better than it already is. To go along with shock, violence can also add emotion to the readers which makes them understand characters even more. Readers may feel sympathy for a character if a someone close to them dies in a violent way. Many authors rely on violence for their success as a writer. In the book How to Read Literature Like a Professor , the author, Thomas Foster reflects on how without the use of violence many writers would be nowhere today. "Violence is everywhere in literature. We'd lose most of Shakespeare without it ...Twain... Fitzgerald...Hemingway...and on and on" (Foster 103). Without the presence of violence, several authors would have no career in being an author. Authors also use violence to make novels be more realistic. Everyone goes through violence in their life and they have some sort of downfall. Since authors use it in their books, it makes the readers feel like the book is more sensible while they read. Violence is used by an author in literature because it adds the element of shock which make readers want to keep on reading, and it adds emotion to the readers so they can feel for the characters.

  • 11. Violence And The Power Of Words "Through violence you may 'solve' one problem, but you sow the seeds for another." Dalai Lama. If there wasn't the power of the pen, then what would be left? Even though some people may argue that the sword is more powerful than the pen, the pen is more powerful. What would the world be like if we always fixed our problems using the force of violence? The sword and the pen both have huge impacts on our lives, but which makes a greater impact? Although violence and the power of words seem like two different things, they both impact us equally. Without the power of words, without freedom of speech, what's left? Words will get us way further in life than violence. Education for example. Education gets us further in life. It gives us hope for a better life and a better future. Words are a way to express how you're feeling and your opinions.

Martin Luther King jr went to India and met a guy named Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi was his mentor and taught him that he shouldn't use violence.

Martin Luther King jr. He gave a speech on August 28, 1963 about not using violence and freedom for all. "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character" Martin Luther King jr. Violence is not the right way to settle your problems. The power of the pen has so much power that nobody knows about, the pen is something that will follow you for the rest of you life.

Nowadays you can't even leave your house feeling safe since violence is very common now. Since violence is very common now, no one ever feels protected.

  • 13. Violence In Sociology I believe the social world greatly influences your understanding and awareness of violence. The shows that children watch condone violent conduct and make us as people more likely to respond to situations in a more violent behavior. When children spend more time watching TV, they become more susceptible to the violent actions that they watch on the screen, just as the studies showed. If you are constantly exposed to violent tendencies, you are more aware of the violence around you and in the world. Growing up, the most important social groups were my school friends an family members.

Children are deprived of care, basic social services, health care and education, child abuse, neglect, exploitation, forced to beg, trafficked. Children are still one of the social groups at risk, facing many problems that remain unresolved. Although the consequences may vary according to the type and severity of the violence, the short and long–term consequences for children are very often serious and destructive and are costly. The laws that protect children's rights are often not effective. Child abuse takes a variety of forms and is influenced by a variety of factors, individual characteristics of the victim and abuser, the...show more content... Acceptance of child abuse is also an important factor: both children and abusers may accept physical, sexual and psychological violence as inevitable and normal. Discipline through physical and humiliating punishment, bullying and sexual harassment are often perceived as normal, especially when they do not result in harm "visible" or lasting. Suffering children are invisible when cases of abuse or neglect are not claimed, in certain situations; people do not trust the police, social services and other state authorities. In the current period more than ever, to prevent any unsuitable behavior, it must be well justified and financially prepared. There is little information available about the global economic costs of violence against children. However, the bill for such actions against children proves to be high. The variety of short and long term consequences associated with violence against children suggests that there are significant economic costs to society. Thus, the U.S., the cost of abuse and neglect was about 103.8 billion USD in 2007, the estimated annual cost of child abuse and neglect in the United States for 2008 is $124 billion. including both direct costs associated with early intervention, medical treatment and associated psychological and indirect consequences related to long–term ill–treatment at individual and societal.

Do you know how much violence is being broadcasted through the media just today? Do you understand how this is affecting your child? Do you know that from birth to age 25 their brain is growing, and there are these neurons, "mirror neurons" that teach us to imitate what we see? What if it was your child who went to school with a gun? What if it was your child who was shot by a class mate? I believe that we as a country should force the media to limit the amount of violence that is being viewed by the public. Not just for ourselves but also for our children.

Joanne H Steward and Franco Follina (2006) say that literature review has discussed evidence on the impact of exposure to violence on aggressive and inappropriate behavior. The review has provided mainly evidence that exposure to media violence affects a person's behavior negatively and has been noted to have a detrimental effect on pro–social behavior, both in the long and short term. So not only are we is the media contributing to violence in children, but it can also affect them in adulthood. This shows that violence is the affecting factor. They why are we not willing to change? Why has the system stayed the same for so very long? If violence is making our society change for the worst then why can we not change for the better? Science says that our brain is growing and learning new things from birth to 25 years of age.

The good guys have taken their losses but struggle on to what is seemingly a victory. Their aggression is fierce and helps them. Fires consume the background; men and women lie on the ground in pain. Even if it weren't for the bombs, missiles, bullets, etc. that are flying around, hand–to–hand combat would have got the better of them. It was a classic battle scene when looking back at it, a true testament of blood, hell, and gore.

They will encourage identification with the aggressor; domination and submission, to them, are often equated with pleasure and worth. Yet numerous researchers have put much time into discovering why children are so attached by the television and the action that takes place within it. They prove that it is definitely a major source of violent behavior in children. Their research proves time and time again that aggression and television viewing do go hand in hand. The truth about television violence and children has been shown. Many people and critics try to ignore it and hope that it will go away. Others do not even seem to care and try to attack these ideas. However, the facts are undeniable and all the results point to one conclusion: Television violence causes children to be violent and the effects can be life–long. The effects of the television are first visible even at the most basic level of life, children and adolescents. The modern–day extent of viewing by humans, especially Americans, is astronomical. Children begin to watch television at very early ages, often when they are newborns. At this time they are obviously not able to follow along or be influenced by it, but they are subjected to it nevertheless.

  • 17. Is Violence ever justified Is violence ever justified? The debate about the use of violence has been on going for the last decade. Violence, the act of causing physical harm to another person willingly, has often been categorized as being an uncivilized, unjustified act. It is mostly known, and commonsensical knowledge that attacking or inflicting harm upon another person is "wrong". Most of us frown upon people who resort to such violent acts, and they are punishable by law. However, as we progress into the 21st century, the line of when the use of violence can ever be "right" or justified is getting increasingly blurred. The need for war, punishment, and even domestic violence can be said to deter further violence or stop present violence from exacerbating....show more content... When such actions are clouded with alcohol, or not done in a rational state of mind, this violence cannot be justified. Such disciplinary actions can also inflict adverse effects on children instead. For example, children may start to be afraid of their parents, or be even more rebellious. It is also in the belief of some parents that it is wrong to lay a finger on their children, regardless of whether disciplining them in this way can correct their actions. Another instance when violence can be justified is when one is protecting himself from another person's attacks. It is only human nature to protect oneself, in the only way one knows how to. For example, if one was held at gun–point and given the chance, one would definitely rib his attacker and proceed to inflict harm on him in any way, to make an escape. In times of desperation, violence is seen as the only way out and thus can be justified. A gray area in using violence as an act of self–defence has recently been challenged in the Trayvon Martin incident that happened in Florida, USA. George Zimmerman, a 28 year old Hispanic, fatally shot 17– year –old African American Martin, as an act of self–defence, although the teenager did not carry any lethal weapons on him. The fact that Zimmerman could have made an error in his judgment, yet proceeded to assault and shoot the teenager has brought up questions and protests as to whether violence is justified when merely assuming another to be a threat to one's Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 18. Persuasive Essay On Violence Violence is a controversial topic and has generated much debate. Many people are of the opinion that violence is never acceptable and should never be tolerated, but this is not true. Violence is not a moral thing and can result in terror, pain, and chaos. Therefore, it makes sense that violence should always, if possible, be avoided. However, violence is justified if it is in self–defense or in the defense of others. Violence is never warranted if used for one's own gain, to exact revenge, or to exert power, but in the defense of human life, it is sometimes necessary. Some may disagree and argue that it doesn't matter the situation, violence is never necessary, but there is an abundance of evidence that proves this to be false.
