The second part of the book talks about our culture today and…

other, and starts to turn on Will. Next, Dylan pulls a gun on Will, accusing Will of working with the terrorists. Will tries to convince the group that he is not the terrorist, but Dylan is the one they should be afraid of. Dylan puts down his gun after threatening to shoot Will. Again, this is clearly aggressiveness. Threatening to shoot somebody shows how frustrated and scared someone is, which is why Dylan did what he did and brought his gun out. This scene is one of the last scenes leading…

the close-knit communities of parents, educators, and video game designers. Parents argue that they are degrading for their children and educators tend to lean towards the angle that their students do not benefit from the influence of games with violence in them, or ban elementary-school level children from pretending to fight during recess because of, they claim, safety reasons.

There are many reasons as to why someone would feel the need to harm or kill another person but no matter what it is unnecessary and should be stopped. School violence is not only due to bullying, but also the lack of God in American school systems and America in general, and excessive media violence. Bullying, though, is a huge…

Example 4. Etiology of Violence Timothy McVeigh grew up in Pendleton, New York, a predominantly white neighborhood (Nichols, 2003). Although very bright, McVeigh was considered a loner and an underachiever in school. After high school, he developed an obsession with guns and began to stockpile weapons and supplies. In 1988, McVeigh enlisted in the U.S. Army. While in the Army, he became obsessed with the Turner Diaries, a book full of violent racist and anti-Semitic fantasies. Moreover,…

School Shootings Are Not Enough for Stronger Gun Control Laws The Jonna Semeiks article “We the People Confront Sandy Hook” discuses many different factors that contribute towards explaining why school shootings and gun violence are inadequate to inspire stronger gun control laws. The deaths of children are not enough to offset the strong ties that American society has towards guns as a symbol of freedom, which causes people to respond with internal defense mechanisms that numb the pain of these…

They did acknowledge that environmental stressors and individuals who experience co-occurring severe mental illness and substance abuse have a higher likelihood of violence, which indicates that mental illness alone does not produce violence (Elbogen & Johnson, 2009).
