Definition Of Violence

Improved Essays
Violence is surprisingly good
Please note that this essay wasn’t meant to be taken seriously, but there are some good things to learn from this.

When people think of violence, they usually think of it as bullying and hurting others. When I think of violence, I think of it as a punishment of sinning against the Lord or ISIS bombing that great big beautiful wall Donald Trump will never build. According to Google definitions, violence is a “behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.”

A sign of bullying is when someone holds up a sign saying, “I am bullying” or something of that sort. For those who think bullying is a prelude to violence, it isn’t, because there are ways around it. For some people, they just laughed or made a legendary comeback to get themselves’ out of trouble , so it's just about the way you handle bullying.

As long as the act of violence isn’t serious, like bombing or purposely crashing a plane, just ignore it. People (especially teachers) may tell you to tell a teacher or the authorities, but if you have been put in this situation before, you’ll know that the adults will just talk to the bully. Like how is telling a kid, “it's wrong” gonna stop the bully from bullying ever again?!

If you heard that media promotes violence, (like Donald Trump will say it) “WRONG!” The truth is that the people around you like your parents and the kids in school are the ones promoting violence. Picture this:
-It started as an argument, Fighter A asks “You wanna fight?!”, if Fighter B says yes, he’ll look tough to others, but he’s gonna be risking his body parts and getting in trouble.
-Same scenario here, but if fighter B says no, he’ll be called names by Fighter A, but, he won’t get hurt or in trouble.
So back to the main topic, media doesn’t promote violence, it just gives the fighters some movesets they could use. The movesets can be FALCON PUNCH or

    Violence is a prominent characteristic of society’s general disposition. John Silvester criticises this prevalence in his opinion article, “Ending violence calls for drastic measures.” Through a detailed disclosure of the detrimental effects of violence, Silvester emphasises the need for these “drastic measures”, and calls on his audience (parents of adolescents) to take a stand against the issue. Silvester employs the use of a forthright tone to project an air of dominance, therefore presenting his view as a credible perspective to adopt. Silvester depicts his animosity for violence, in particular wanton attacks, by alluding to an imbalance of power between the attacker and victim.…

    Implementing changes to the MPAA, Motion Picture Association of America, rating system eliminates foul behavior, protects children’s environments, and models appropriate language expected from them. The current rating system hurts places such as school, streets, and the home environment. For example, if a teenager watches a NC-17 movie he will act older. Since the content is restricted from the teenager, it will instigate the teen to act more mature and want to act as the actors (Gustafson 1). He is now mimicking older citizens as if he was a young toddler learning how to speak.an easy fix to this is more security and cameras for the movie theater.…

    Violence throughout the world is a major problem. Men, women, and children are victimized by violence every day. Ending the cycle of violence can start by properly teaching and demonstrating nonviolent forms of disciplining youth in school and at home. By practicing nonviolent forms of discipline children are less likely to grow up using violence to solve day to day problems. Children who receive violent acts of discipline have a higher risk of engaging in antisocial behavior, responding to conflict with aggression, poor academic achievement, deteriorating trust between child and adult, and turning to crime.…

    Two viewpoints, or extremes, come to mind when discussing violence. One can either view violence as something that is necessary, or one can detest violence with a burning passion. People who insist that violence is necessary in order to move forward, view it as a sort of tool to help push the natural order of things. For those who see violence as a cowardly tactic to control people, violence is a useless display of power and dominance. Yet violence has also been a way to defend oneself from people who pose a threat.…

    In the modern world, violent media is one of many issues that concerns parents, teachers, and society on the effects of violent media on the developing generations. For example, there has been fear in our society that children exhibited to violent media will grow to become violent, creating a future for a violent society.

    Violence and its Inescapable Occurrence Conventional wisdom dictates that traumatic childhood experiences and genetic predispositions make individuals prone to violence. Although this is sometimes true, the realities of violence are convoluted and cannot be understood in such simplistic terms. Violence can take place in both physical and emotional contexts. It can be enacted by means of impulsivity, premeditation, defense, or predation. The diversity of its modes for instigation highlights the most crucial element to understanding violence—there is no sole factor that induces humans to fall vulnerable to its forces.…

    When analyzing the information collated from both primary and secondary research findings, the results clearly indicate that a direct relationship does in fact exist between the widespread presence of violence in the media and its concomitant negative influence on violence within society. This is a serious social issue that needs to be considered, as the aspect of violence is highly prevalent in the media according to primary research studies (see Fig. A). Some of the reasons why society finds violence so appealing include the emotional appeal that it provides (that is, through emotional catharsis and/or feelings of adrenaline); the instinctual and evolutionary connection to the interest in violence; and the sense of satisfaction one experiences…
