UNLEARNING THE VIOLENCE LESSON

It’s no longer a strange news that men lead more violative than women; both as the perpetrators and victims, men are more likely to be murdered and most likely the perpetrators of violent crimes. In fact, the common areas where women are victims of violence more than men are in the area domestic abuse and sexual assault. The world is evolving so fast and society in general is becoming more unfavorable to the men that most men question their masculinity and think the best and only medium to prove your masculinity is to resolve to violence. And this idea has driven most into joining gangs and into all sorts of violent acts. Some see women (their spouse) as the cause of the problem and pounces on them at the slightest opportunity with the feeble conception to show her who the man truly is. This notion is entirely wrong, violence is never the answer.

      I think the society and the world at large is not be directly blamed for the ceaseless violence befalling and residing among the male folks, I strongly believe that change is constant and as along as the universe is concern, change is inevitable, so the main invisible cause of the violence is the inability to evolve with the world. You could heap blames on the society and economy, but you’d only be sounding like broken record.

       In the other hand, men are not to be blamed for this too, this violent conception has its root from childhood, boys are more likely to be beaten at school than the girls and the parents also encourage fights between boys. imagine when as a child you’re taught by someone you look up to punch that kid who insulted you. It would be a great surprise to imagine you’d reach adulthood believing violence to be the right response to every aggravating circumstance.  with this, you see why unlearning that lesson would be next to impossible.
