Essay, Research Paper: Violence

Violence is a disease that plagues us all. Whether it
be violence on the street, at home, or on the
television, it some way effects your life. Right now
the conflict in the Persian Gulf is an issue that
comes up far too often. This issue effects us, because
everywhere you look or listen some one is talking
about it. There is always some one looking for trouble,
and someone running from it. Violence makes up nearly
all of a persons fears. Most people think violence is
uncontrollable. Our teenagers are immersed in violence
and yet, usually doesn’t know what to do when confront
ed with it. What if we all knew how to handle a
violent situation? Many people do. They are educated
with skills and arts which teach, non-violent means
of ending an attack. The most well known of these arts
are: Karate (Open hand), Akido (Way of the mind and
spirit), Judo (Gentle way), and my favorite, Jujitsu
(The gentle art).These arts are often thought of as
violent, brutal ways of hurting people. But the
educated know that most martial arts are, in fact,
self defense. These are the best ways of ending a
violent situation quickly if it can’t be resolved
verbally. If a person is confident that they have a
better than average chance of defending themselves,
they usually won’t feel the need to prove it.
