Topic: Violence is an essential quality of human life in building a developed society (Read 115 times)

If everyone is found doing the right thing, then i don't think there is a need for engaging into violence in other to have peace in the society or making a developed one, violence is not what we aimed to see happening because it will cause a lot of distortions in the society, people will not be free with themselves, everyone will not have a sense of belongings because they are living independent, they will not show interest on the happenings in the society, while the people as well will also show no interest in building the society since they are aware of violence being involved.

There is something that I feel from this life, before peace happens there is war, before there is a vaccine there is epidemic, and similarly in the future we will witness a complete treatment method all kinds of diseases, but before that there will be many diseases,...

The balance in the process between suffering and happiness is intertwined in the journey of evolution/degeneration.

But from the perspective that the OP shares here, I do not deny violence, but there are some things that I think are inevitable lessons that have many impactful reasons for us to experience and improve ourselves /soul/ intelligence.

Violence is never the best option in maintaining peace and order. With violence,  it can take one just few seconds to destroy what took years to build. If we use the same energy we use in advocating that violence is beneficial to advocate for respecting boundaries and recognising differences, there wouldn't be any loss and chaos. Violence occurs when peace is not given a chance.

Peace is priceless and should not be linked to violence in any way. In the course of going about our daily activities, disagreements are bound to occur. This disagreements can actually be resolved amicably instead of resolving to violence which will lead to more destructions. Resolutions can actually be reached without involving violence, violence is not healthy and should not be encouraged.

Gotta get the job done.

I violently build my house out of bricks.

Somebody violently builds his house out of wood.

If we don't get at it and do it violently, it will never get done.

Revolution = Violence = Terrorism

These all are different but have the same actions so it can be defined by why? to determine whether the violence is used for good or bad. I don't really want to go into the religious view deeper cause we people don't really follow them anymore as it is, we just only take what is convenient for us and just boycott what's not.

Yes I concur when talk of violence to peace resolution it comes last in the table because many things is involved for you to go into violence you must make sure your able to eliminate the shadows members instigating the problem, for a violence or confrontation to be successful with coursing so much damage and end according to plan you don't fight unknown enemies because before a problem kick start there is a catalyst to it which may be know or unknown many remain unknown that while many problem is hardly settled because of what we called shadow members or diverse interest.

Resolving issue or problem in a society or any forms of organization best way is dialogue because it calm down the interest and make some shadow members revail than when violence is taken.
No violence in peace keeping has ever achieve it completely it's either you subdue the opponent temporarily but they will reenforces back , but using dialogue is having charge over the root course and when a root of problem is eliminated the problem dies completely.

Violence begets violence.

I also see some contradictions in his write up but to make it clear to OP violence shouldn't be the best option to peace in the society. I know that there are times when the only way peace can be restored in some certain situations is through violence especially in a state where no one wants to listen to each other yet I still do not see violence as a way of dialogue. People can actually settle their differences without resulting to violence because even if they choose to go in a violent way, a lot of things will be affected in the process and may not be restored back again after a dialogue so that is why it is not ideal to make violence as a way of restoring order in the society.

Just like you stated, violence results to negativity even after the parties in question must have settled their differences but the scare it will live can last for a lifetime that is why we should not result to violence because it causes some irreparable damages.

i also think that this is what he wanted to convey. because sometimes violence can solve a problem, even though this should not happen and is prohibited in many religions, at one time it is necessary to achieve peace. because like it or not, sometimes violence solves problems in this world, for example the nagasaki and hiroshima atomic bombs, that is one example of how violence can solve a problem, even though we all don't want it, but this method must be taken when one party doesn't understand words.

I'll have to agree with the last two comments that the OP is contradicting himself in the content of his topic, he's advocating violence as a means to achieving lasting peace, at the same time saying that parents and religion are against violence, which should not be encouraged, he should have focused on one argument.

I think that what the OP is trying to say is that violence is not the best option to achieve peace in any conflict, but there are some situations when there'll be no choice but to go to the extreme means of being violent to press for a demand, when dialogue has failed. As human beings we have different temperaments so we see one thing from different perspectives, therefore people have tendencies to want to press hard for their own demands, and if not handled well, might lead to violence.

Violence becomes inevitable sometimes, that is why we have conflicts and wars, so it's important to find a way in the midst of the violence to seek dialogue and resolve the situation amicably for lasting peace to reign.

But some of the things that you have posted here are contradiction to what your topic is saying. You are making reference to injunctions where violence was prohibited plus you advocated that family should teach children about non-violence acts, so where are you really driving to if you are saying violence builds society. I disagree with that because violence itself is about destruction, it doesn't build non rebuild and even when you rebuild, you would have wasted money or resources used to build in the first place. Violence is crime inclined because while in destruction some advantages would be taken against victims. In a war, it is not only fight that is involved, women are rape, there is stealing etc.

What happens to dialogue? Dialogue is the best way to reach out to development, those who do violence get to destroy all that they have build, it doesn't lead anyway. It is always the last resort for a new system that takes you time to recuperate what you have destroyed. They of course are different schools of thought anyway.

You're contradicting the whole thing fluctuating agitating to maintain peace and same time inciting necessary to recognize violence in the society.
I wouldn't want to say you're right or wrong but I'd only say that peace is priceless which means it's an ultimate possession that uprights humans kindnesses of living togetherly and happily as one while violence is destructive to human kindliness which erupts enemities and disasterous to the societies.

 I disagree with you on this point, that violence developed society,  if you truly know what violence is or you have seen violence before in your society, you will no that violence is not what a society should experience because it can destroy so many things that will take the society years to recover.

Some society that experienced violence in their societies before, they will not sit down and fold their hands watching violence to come out from the societies before they can find solution because they know what will happen in the process of the violence, which they will never allow violence to occur in their society.

There are some religion, violence is not a bad thing to them because they don't value human beings, and if someone die in the process of the violence they will conclude, that is how god want the person to live.

Post-violence is the deplorable treatment of different opinions or different schools of thought through the application of deliberate consideration.  Freedom of expression and respect and tolerance for the opinions of people belonging to different classes of society, different professions and different religions is called extreme violence.  Violence is undoubtedly the best of human qualities.  Respect for the views of others increases mutual resilience and helps build a peaceful society.  Elders in the family should teach children about non-violence such as: being respectful of others' opinions, respecting other's religion, not condoning wrongdoing, refraining from haram acts, not belittling someone's profession and not making fun of others.  .  At the initial stage of anti-violence education, people can acquire anti-violence education from the family and their own religion.  Verse 256 of Surah Al-Baqarah, Islam's main holy book of the Qur'an, prohibits violence by saying, "There is no compulsion in religion".  Also, in Buddhism as well as Hinduism, non-violence is one of the main principles whose key phrase is, "Ahimsa Param Dharma".  Rasulullah (SAW) declared, "Patience and non-violence are half of faith".  He also said, "The reward of violence is Paradise".  Just as violence maintains peace and order in the life of this world, it also brings us peace in the life of the hereafter.  Every person in the society should become an ideal by virtue of extreme violence.  End violence is absolutely necessary for peace and order and welfare in the life of individuals, families, society and the state.  If the people of the society do not have the patience to tolerate each other's speech, opinion, advice and life behavior no matter how annoying and objectionable, then anarchy tension and chaos arise in the society.  Therefore, violence plays an essential role in maintaining the peace and order of the society and the country.  So I think violence is our unique quality.
