The world’s most disturbing topic nowadays is violence. Violence is everywhere in our society and it keeps increasing. Violence arise due to several factors like social classes, socio-economics status, and a diversity in population especially in religion, politics and cultural. The most astonish, is teen violence which keep increasing. And also we notice violence in adults as well.
There are many causes for violence including frustration, exposure to violence media, violence in the home or neighbourhood and a tendency to see other people’s actions as hostile even when they are not. Certain situations also increase the risk of aggression such as drinking, insults and other provocations and environmental factors like heat and overcrowding. Media and drugs play a very important role in the violence of the society. Our society becomes more violent and dangerous day by day.
There is a lot we can do to prevent violence. Hardly anyone at any age is hopeless and beyond help. The main way to stay away from violence is to settle arguments with words, not fists or weapons. And the other main issue is the youth violence. It is a serious problem which has to be stopped. It has lasting harmful effects on victims and their family, friends and communities. Preventing youth violence requires addressing factors at all levels of the socio-ecology as individual, relational, community and societal level.
If we could put these prevention ideas into action, we can live in a society which is safer to everyone.
