Violence; does it work?

[arbil_poieo]

In certain situations violence does work especially for self-defense. Everyone is capable of any kind of violence under the right circumstance, there are crazy psychopaths who commit murder and/or torture as a hobby but there are people who have to. Violence is inevitable and it does achieve something but it may not be an achievement that they were going for like war for instance. All through out history, violence has been at the center of every gain whether it be territory, equality, lack of equality, retaliation, money, revenge, statement etc. Violence is on the television and on video games. Pyschopaths such as "Jack the Ripper" or the "Zodiac" have become infamous and there are people like Hitler who used violence, torture, and murder for his beliefs and for power. Everyone knows that violence is wrong, but at the same time it's either something we have to study at school or it has become glamourous. Obviously violence makes the world go round and if it's not doing that it's entertaining.
As far as violence to a child in any way, shape or form such as smacking a child is wrong, a child cannot defend himself/herself. Spanking the butt is acceptable punishment for a child, Being violent to a child from a very young age could possibly lead the child to believe that it's okay because being violence or getting physical is all they know. There's a difference to punishing a child by being physical and being harsh to a child using violence...that line is clear.
Violence is necessary but it doesn't solve all the worlds problems and it's not always the answer...history has proven all three.
