Violence is an extreme form of aggression, such as assault, rape or murder. Violence has many causes, including frustration, exposure to violent media, violence in the home or neighborhood and a tendency to see other peoples actions as hostile. People love to see violence in movies, but that would change if they were the one receiving it. Violence is a perversion of humanitys destiny hallucinated into being deeply confused individuals. What is the plight of a violent person? It is that they have no sense of joy, no inner sense of worthiness, lovable or at all significant. Is it because they have no inner peace that they become violent?
Militia and war is prominent in society and coincides with human nature. The United States is a country that looks upon violence and aggression as terrible things. The U.S has since 2000 been killing and taking away peoples privacy in Iraq. Ever since the terrorist attack towards the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, our military forces have been there, risking their lives so that nothing like that will happen again. “Were there other types of interventions that would have worked more humanely and less destructively in resolving ethnic tensions without killing thousands of civilians and destroying their essential infrastructure — a truly humanitarian intervention — not a death-dealing military one?” (Horck, 2000). Another brutal war was World War I. “117,000 American men killed in battle.” (Wiki) World War I was known as the Great War because it impacted the world very much.

War is an easy and quick approach to solving problems, but it doesnt solve them fully. There is still turmoil amongst people.Sadly the nature of our society seeks violence as their answer and may always stay that way.

By killing several thousand Jewish people, Hitler felt as though he could finally live in a perfect world. The Holocaust was a genocide that was hypocritical in its definition and that is why it never ended. Having several people on his side he was able to easily commit murder and get away with it for a time. The Holocaust is prominent in human nature because it was easily attainable. He could get away with murder. Not only was it easy, but they were naive to what he was doing therefore calling them to their early death even sooner. The Holocaust was wrong, it broke all the laws of human society, including the Bible.
Hanging is another form of violence that came from the ideas of people being wrongly
