Either they were affected by violence personally, their families were affected my violence personally, their community were affected by violence or simply they were the ones actually participating in violence themselves because they either felt it was the right thing to do at the time (i.e. because of revenge) or told it was the right thing to do at the time (i.e. because of revenge, standing up for themselves, what they “may” believe in or fighting for what they believe in, etc.). Regardless, these individual’s all experienced violence one way or another and all these individuals seem like that feel like violence is horrid …show more content…
And, everyone is affected my violence in one shape or form differently. Either they are the ones doing the violence for reasons that they may or may not believe in, or they are the ones that are affected mentally, emotionally and physically by violence. Violence is such a broad term because there are several different forms of violence and all these forms of violence doesn’t make it right because violence in general is horrid and heartbreaking. Such; being attacked because he or she likes the same sex, being attacked for having a different religion, being attacked for having different beliefs, and so forth all because the attackers feels like this is not right and how it should be this way because my way is better sort of thing hence is why attackers choose forms of violence to make a point either bullying, harassing, sexually harassing others or killing

    As I quickly ran out of pages, that are carefully inked with Father Gregory Boyle’s heartfelt words, this novel got me thinking, “How does one go about caring for another and promote a common bond between strangers?” Kinship is used to bring people together and this tool is found in every individual, although it is their choice on how they use it. As Tattoos on the Heart explains, many gang-members avoid this program, although a handful decide to build up the courage to walk away and join Boyle’s vision of a better world. With Homeboy Industries, Boyle brings kinship to a diverse table that infuses religion and love as one. The individuals who are fortunate enough to stay within the difficult process are often rewarded by good feelings, a better…

    Unfortunately we all pick up the gun and decide to play the game. Acts of violence are part of our everyday lives no matter if they’re noticeable or not. I believe violence can be caused from fear of not being socially accepted among your peers or a sidearm to depression. However, I strictly believe that you don’t have to have gone through something upsetting to be a violent person.…

Violence has existed throughout the world; whether it be at home, at school or anywhere in society. It's an action that is initiated by the negative emotions of man. In the book The Outsiders, the author demonstrates the violence of society with two teenage groups, the Greasers and the Socs. Within these two groups, it may seem to be an unbalanced society, but many people around the world experience violence even if they are the upscale or non-wealthy members.…

    Music has the power to transporting us back to a particular experience, memory, or era without that being its intended purpose. The documentary, Alive Inside, provided a look into how the brain’s reaction to music for nursing home residents with dementia provided an alternative therapy by allowing them to temporarily regain the memories and movement of their younger years. At the suggestion of Dan Cohen, social worker, nursing home volunteer and non-profit organizer of Music & Memory, the film’s director followed him for a day and what he discovered that day of the extent of influence that music had on these individuals, he decided to continue to follow Cohen for three years to document the phenomenal effects that this type of therapy.

    When we see a type violence occur in front of us we have an immediate reaction to it whether it is in disgust, appreciation, or fear. Nixon gives us the definition of “slow violence”, which is what I will discuss, slow violence is “…a violence that occurs gradually and out of sight, a violence of delayed destruction that is dispersed across time and space, an attritional violence that is typically not viewed as violence at all” (2). In the article “Slow violence” written by Nixon and “Boundary Issues” written by Calarco we become conscious of the slow violence humans and animals are being subjected to. There are two categories in slow violence, the first is visibility and the second slow violence is the hierarchy within humans. Violence is…

An example of this is when showing Amy in the recording studio they use another actress so the audience feel like she is acting in it. This makes the viewers connect with the documentary as it feels as if Amy was actually in the biography. The sense of frustration throughout this whole biography is evident by the way her closed ones talk about her and the struggles she has faced. Throughout the documentary some of her family narrate the story and tell their side of the story.…

    Not only did his violent actions affect him after the war, they transformed him as a person, he lost 2 families because of the war, his actual family and his fellow brothers in arms. The war made him flee the country to the United States because he could no longer stay in Sierra Leone. This all has taught me that if you use violence it will change everything you perceive in life. It could make you more angry then you were which will make things worse because if you use violent actions against people eventually it will get you hurt or arrested and maybe even killed. Also, the consequences of violent acts can linger for years, give you nightmares and haunt you until you learn to accept what you have done.…

    Violence can cause desensitization, which can cause the victim to think that violence isn’t wrong, or even cause the victim to become violent or abusive themselves. In addition, violence can cause or worsen the effects of mental illness, contribute to low self esteem, increase the risk of substance abuse/ addictive behaviours, and increase the risk of the victim being suicidal or self harming. If one of those things impacts the victim, there is a higher chance of the other effects affecting the victim as well, as there is a correlation between violence, mental illness, suicidal behaviour/ self injury, and substance abuse. Cyberbullying is any bullying that occurs over the Internet. It can be saying, posting, or creating something, or doing…

    Physical violence is defined as hitting, slapping, biting, kicking, etc., intended to do harm on the victim by the abuser.

Parents who were abused as children may either cause physical punishment on their children or not; there is no in between. This physical abuse is not limited to just the children.…
