Cure Violence www.cureviolence.org Cure Violence is an organization founded by epidemiologist Gary Slutkin. Dr. Slutkin spent a decade in underdeveloped countries, fighting epidemic diseases. When he returned to the US, he’d all but forgotten what it was like to have running water, and adjustable temperature in the home. He also had no news of the US, so he found it both dismaying and compelling to hear about the rampant violence in some parts of the US, most especially in Chicago, Illinois. As a result, Dr. Slutkin began researching the violence problem in the same way that he tracked infectious diseases in those other countries, and he found that the trajectories were the same.…

In Dr. Langberg’s lecture on “Trauma and Abuse,” she discusses various forms of abuse that can take place. Three of these abuses were physical abuse, emotional abuse, and spiritual abuse. These three forms of abuse (along with verbal abuse) are similar in that each of them use some form of power to control, manipulate, and/or intimidate another individual.

Aims: Committing a violent act is emotionally difficult for an individual. Microsociological analyses of violence have demonstrated that there exists an emotional barrier that inhibits violence. Passage through this emotional barrier is enabled by situational circumstances which serve as enabling factors. While most forms of terrorism have these enabling factors, lone actor terrorism presents a unique challenge for an individual looking to navigate through the emotional barriers and engage in violence. This is particularly true of some recent incidents where the attacker has not used remote bombings or arson, but highly confrontational, face-to-face forms of violence.…
Contrary to the common belief towards war at the time, Gandhi once commented, “I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary, the evil it does is permanent.” Gandhi alludes that violence is not the answer to conflicts. Though war may seem to be for a just cause in the short term, it only encourages violence in the future and eventually leads to permanent negative consequences. From 1914 to 1918, World War I demonstrated the unfortunate repercussions of warfare that began when Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. This seemingly insignificant conflict soon spread rapidly and eventually Russia, France, Great Britain, and Germany were all drawn into the war, predominantly because of their involvement…
