Is violence ever the answer?
606060
I personally think violence is something that may help the person to feel better at the time while they are being violent but at the end of the day the problem will still exist and if anything they would feel worse as they would eventually realize that the person who they were violent to may be laughing inside as the violence towards them just demonstrated that what they did has got at the other person and this may be something they were actually trying to do in the first place. In regards to being violent to someone who has hurt a loved one or friend, it is still something that may make the person feel better for a short while but then they may realize that it hasn't changed the past and what may have happened. I personally believe in using your head and words when dealing with people who make you feel like doing this. Bruises heal but words are stronger and tend to stay in the back of the other person's mind.

I am not sure what your question is. Assuming that you are asking about what factors contribute to nonviolence, the answer lies in history.\n\nHistorical and religious figures (Jesus, Buddha, Mahavira, Gandhi, King) have realized that violence breeds violence. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.\n\nIt is this disenchantment and futility of violence as a means of problem solving that has contributed to the realization that nonviolence is better.\n\ncc

I was raised in a lot of violence. I once (the only fight I have ever been in) beat up my father. It was the scariest thing I have ever felt, like a blinding rage. Neither of us won, as far as I can tell there is no winning in violence. My brother walked in and stopped me, I was so crazy in that moment that I didn't even know what I was doing. I just knelt down next to him and wept. No victory was won that day, I felt no better, had not gotten even.

I can understand your rage, for sure, but you should never treat violence with violence with violence, etc. The cycle will continue.

that is a good question.\nbut if you saw someone being hurt or threatened constantly, wouldn't you want to help?\ni am just hoping this doesn't esculate too much.

No way. TV and movies are meant to be entertainment not to be reacted. The people who commit violence in society are to be blamed because people are responsible for their actions. If young kids are becomeing trouble makers due to movies and TV, than their parents are not doing their jobs as parents.

Can't give a whole answer but have a few ideas.\n1. We are animals and have violence inside us. If pushed it will come out. Usually there needs to be violence against us to bring it out though, or a perceived serious threat.\n2. Hunger. Morals can get thrown out the window if you are starving. Hard drugs can do the same thing to normally nice folk. Alcohol and young men are a really bad combination.\n3. Upbringing. If you are raised to see violence as a valid option in dealing with a situation then you are more likely to seriously consider this option. Just watching it on TV is not as strong as if it's personal though.\n4. Mental illness. Some mental illnesses put people into a world view when they cannot see another option or lose control. This is probably used as a defence/excuse much more often than it happens.\n5. Social behaviour. Too look cool and gain status amongst peers etc. Or as part of maintaining the pecking order, this includes legal use of violence ie cops etc. \nThe above factors combine, I am sure there are more. The areas to study further would be Forensic Psychiatry/ Criminal Psychology/Primate Psychology.

Fighting is never the answer unless all sensible dialog has failed, even then in most cases it is not necessarily going to prove anything to fight. Fighting is a pretty poor solution to a problem. Fight only in self defense and only when it is unavoidable.

Definitely not. As a European I can tell that. But maybe there is a small change in what methodes we use. Traditionally it has been with weapons, and we have bad experiences with that. Now, I think, most Europeans try to fight with arguments and solve problems peacefully rather than with violence.\nMaybe in the end it will turn out to be better, who knows...

Sometimes.  There are many things that bring forth aggression.  Sometimes it's frustration, sometimes it's ignorance, sometimes it's intolerance.  Quite often a person's aggression level is affected by his upbringing, not just from his parents but his/her close associates.
