To those who have said that you can't predict it...\n\nGavin De Becker in his book, "The Gift of Fear" makes it clear that in 99 percent of cases you can predict it, and steps can be taken to avoid it.  Especially if you allow the party a chance to save face.\n\nMuch would change in terms of world peace, if we could understand and utilize face-saving practices.  Whether on the individual, local, state, national, or international levels.

Violence isn't a disease, and there isn't any more violence today than in ancient times. You just see & hear about it because of the modern media. Notice how it will all go away if you turn off the news!

Are we controling YOUR anger or someone elses? If its you, When you feel a fight coming on. WALK AWAY. Don't yell, scream, hit...Nothing, just walk away. If its somebody else, Same theory applies. When you see the fight brewing. Leave the room. \n & joine ART OF LIVING FOUNDATION COURSES.

Non violence and passive resistence. That means you don't fight back. It includes tactics like sitting for hours in a restaurant that will not serve you and going limp and not fighting when you are dragged out, even if they hit you. These tactics made an impression on the American people and brought about a change in the attitude of many who saw this in the newspapers and on television

NEVER stop fighting! Take a form of defence like Karate for a class cuz it teaches u all types of defence moves. Bite. Kick punch YELLLLL as loud as u can. Don't walk where there aren't any people or houses alone at night.

I would prefer not to but today's society wants it then turns around and says it's wrong.  In most cases it is more subtle in America.  Threats, attitude, bluffing is used more since people are now afraid of getting killed so blatant violence is not used as often but mind games and the threat of violence still hangs around.

tell him to kill me because I wouldn't do either of those things\n\nIt's better to die in peace than to live in violence

Walk out of the situation before the anger takes control of you. Like 'babygirl' said, it will give you time to cool down & think through the situation sensibly instead of causing harm, whether physically or verbally, to the other in a fit of rage.\n\nThat's what I do, just walk out on the person or just don't talk. I am known for a vicious temper & that's how I deal with it. :)

The quikest way is to stand up to anyone trying to take advantage of you. Stand up for yourself and do not allow anyone to walk on you. Learn to say NO. And do not be afraid to smack someone that won't take No for an answer. Please only resort to violence as a last resort though.

violence begets violence begets even more violence.  defense through war?  That's an oxymoron.  it takes two to make war.  \n\nany rationalization defending violence will do for proponents.  supporters argue harm/ death of "innocent" civilians "are regrettable but unavoidable".  it comes with the territory.  \n\nignorance, arrogance, and fanaticism wears many faces.

think of the defense system of your country. the stronger it is the more It'll be able to defend off incoming threats. well the body's the same way. so eat good an walk alot so you can get some fresh air in your lungs... or in some cases fresh smog, but a little sunshine never hurts.
