Why Is Violence Wrong

Decent Essays
I think Violence is a solution to resolving conflict, one because sometimes people take too much, house wise and street wise, a great example is Bullying when people get Fed up after they get Beat every Day they think Violence is not okay, but yet it’s okay for the Bullies to do it. Violence is not okay sometimes you can’t just approach it, otherwise if someone is trying to cause Harm on you or if someone just wants to pick a fight with you it’s okay to Fight back. Sometimes people try showing of in front of friends by approaching the kids they know are not going to do nothing about it, it’s okay to fight back when you had have enough.

    Non-violence works as a strategy to bring about change because it is morally and strategically superior to any other strategy, and because it works for changes that will benefit all people. Non-violence, as a morally and strategically superior method to bring about change is first seen in Document 1. Document 1 is a letter from Mohandas Gandhi to the English governor in India where Gandhi explains why he plans to use non-violence and how doing so will make British recognize the “wrong they have done to India,” (Doc 1/ Letter to Irwin). Also in the document, Gandhi points out that the physical harming of a peaceful entity violates the morals of nearly every civilization around the Globe. This means that by using non-violence, Gandhi’s movement is morally superior to his opposition, which put the morals and reputation of the opposition into play, coaxing the other side to comply with Gandhi’s requests.…

    “Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impartial because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all…” I strongly agree with this quote said by Martin Luther King Jr. Violence is a very concerning issue in the past, present and certainly in the film “Do The Right Thing”. It is my personal belief that you cannot achieve anything by violence and that it only brings major unwanted consequences into our lives. The film “Do The Right Thing” illustrates the difference between violence and counter-violence and the diverse consequences they each convey. Violence is the act of physical force toward someone to hurt them and in cases kill them, in order to gain power.…

    Is violence justifiable in revolution? As it is clearly the status quo to engage in bloody conflict whilst attempting to overthrow an existing regime, perhaps we should reconsider this notion. Confronting violence in this context is something which is evidently rarely done, and could therefore help us to suppress the dangerous cycle, or "revolution", of history, which is ridden with death and violence from the French Revolution to the current crises in the Middle East and Ukraine. The value of the relevant question is best achieved through the guidance of students through logical thought processes.…

    “I believe the gun has no power because a gun can only kill but a pen can give life.” -Malala Yousafzai. If a person killed someone they would be dead with no hope, but if you are not dead but very low in life you could read an encouraging book or article and feel better about yourself and your situation. One example where the pen showed power over violence was the Comet Ping Pong incident when some false claims came out and said that Hillary Clinton was going to use children as slaves.…

During Selma march, the first time they went to cross the bridge, African Americans and the supporters got beaten by the police. However, they never responded back with violence.

    Violence as seen in many communities is a very debated topic. The question most discussed tends to be when it’s okay to use violence against another individual.

Even in a state of nature, rights still exist and take president since everyone is free, equal and has a right to private property. In a state of nature when self interest, bias and revenge are present each can lead to a state of war.…

    This can be termed as the need to eradicate violence was ignited by the realization by the Women’s Country members that their present state was precipitated by the violent past of their culture, as such for the sake of self-preservation and the preservation of future generations. This is further initiated through selective bleeding. This can be realized as a civic engagement as it instills notions in the participants that selective breeding could raise a desired society at their will. It is so as it also targets a group of people namely the women. This can also be evidenced by the way the women ensure that they controlled sexual contact with the male fraternity.…
