Violence in society is is caused by many factors. Some of the main factors are as follows:
- Money
- Drugs
- Religion
- Power
- Respect
- Polictics
- Historical claims
- Domestic Issues
And the list goes on.
I think that violence in society, more importantly, these specific reasons, are caused by the overwhelming desire for power. I say this, because in all aspects of of life, humans are always trying to push themselves for a higher pedistal for themselves, their peers, and society as a whole. Some people choose to gain this power by working hard and aiming for a moral success, whereas people who are not as motivated and a bit more lazy, look for the easiest route. This can lead to violent acts such as robbery, assault, grand theft auto, etc.
Violence is a tool for those who are weak. Now, just to clarify, when I say it is a tool for those who are weak, I am specifically addressing those who do it for the sole pupose of personal gain, whether it's a finacial or domestic. Moving on, I would like to add one large ause to violence in society, the media. The media plays a giant role in this uprising, in the sense that the population of the world, takes great interest in movies, tv shows, etc, and can be greatly influenced by what the specific shows pprtray as acceptable. For example, I followed the Sopranos series "religiously", and found myself using swear words a good 20 more then usual, along with sudden impulses of anger towards a certain subjects that I didn't have before.
In conclusion, I personally feel that violence in society is in direct correlation with the factors that I listed in the paragraphs above.
