Answer 1

I believe violence stems from the inability to handle frustration.

Answer 2

I don't think Violence is in all of us. To take up for ones self, this is different from being just plain Violent. These people I feel may have some kind of trouble going on down deep. maybe a neurological mess up, the way one was raised, who knows how the Ted Bundy's and Jeffery Daummers got here, they was born Violent I think so.

Answer 3

Quite agree with you said, but in this modern world we have to learn how to control ourself. We don't leave alone, so we don't take thing into our own hands. As we learn along we pick up many ways of solving problem thru violence. We turn to violence only when we run out of ideal to solve a particular problems. But still is good to seek advice if we run out of ideal. Violence at anywhere is always against the law. We have to go by the civilise way instead of the primal beast style.

Answer 4

Most people feel like committing some form of violence at some point in their lives. I have known some that are truly identifying themselves as victims, at the mercy of every other person they come into contact with. However, if they had their buttons pushed so that their victim identity didn't get them what they value above all else, PITY, they would take up violence in a heartbeat.

At some point, even psychologists will say that violence is called for sometimes. Its unhealthy to be so anti-violence that you won't defend yourself or your kids. Some religions call for this attitude, but this is self destructive. Christianity is called to this only when they are persecuted in the name of their Lord. In other words, its because they believe the Bible that they are threatened, or that violence is done to their property. Outside of this, Christians are expected to protect themselves and their property.

Answer 5

Scientists believe the capability of murdering is hardwired into the human brain. I also am rather passive most of the time, perhaps as a reaction to a very aggressive nature I must keep under wraps, and I can't imagine hurting anyone. Similarly if I feel my daughter's safety is under any threat I become very very hostile. Never been in a fight before, but violence is in us all, just as much as sexual impuls is in us all.

Answer 6

I think the potential for violence is in all of us. Just the potential.

I see what you're saying about a beast buried deep inside but the beast is really how we see and react to anything that challenges our beliefs or our knowlege. We fear the unknown and often react to fear with anger or violence.

People that are violent are often the most insecure and the most afraid. Afraid of what you ask?? Themselves or having to take responsibility for themselves.

Answer 7

I work as a pedagog assisstant.My everyday life deals mainly about changing the directions of negative inclinations.Violence is on the top.Even children become violent and make an alliance.Then we have to interfere and stop this.
I was trained to be a brave lady by my father.But he always taught us that anger is our enemy.Yes there is a truth in your beliefs.

Answer 8

Violence is the engine of human evolution. We are theplanets top predator after all. Good things have come from violence though. We began to live in organised settlements due to the fear of attack from neighbouring settlements. This has lead to us living in relative harmony in cities. I think that we done very well to have evolved such a strong moral centre from such chaotic beginnings.

Answer 9

What is wrong with being violent?

If a psychopathic, serial, rapist, murderer, broke into my home with the intent to rape and murder my wife and 7 y/o daughter, would you want me to engage him in a dialogue? Or, would you want me to do whatever was necessary to protect my wife and daughter?

It's not violence itself that is bad, as some effete, out of touch liberals would have you believe; It is the purpose that the person has when they use physical force.

Answer 10

Our exsistence, on all levels, contains some form of violence. Creation itself can even be looked upon as a violent experience.

The spiritual and factual enviroments of human knowledge both contain elements of violence and we are products of those enviroments.

While individual perception of what violence is, and ones own ability to control it, varies amongst us, we would be unbalanced in our logic without it as an option.

We have to know that it is in us to be violent to know that violent is not what we wish to be.

Answer 11

I'm sure even Ghandi wanted to knock some dude's teeth out from time to time but had the power to resist this primal urge.
