Violence and Discrimation

Violence and Discrimination

What makes everybody different and unique is the way we think. I don’t think that is the problem. The problem when somebody disagrees with you in a bad way or act in a different way. That’s why we see so much violence and discrimination. Violence is “an extreme form of aggression.” Discrimination is “the unjust treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age or sex.”   In these days, we still have these problems.

Violence has a lot of types. The most common violence is physical. Physical violence occurs when someone use an object to control another person. Is very sad to watch the news and read the newspaper that statistics are increasing. Another type of violence is sexual violence. This happens when someone is forced against his or her will to do a sexual activity. Sometimes we don’t thing that psychological violence is a type of violence. It happens when someone uses threats and causes fear in a person to gain control.

Violence hay many causes. It includes frustration, violence in their home or neighborhood and hostile environment. Some situation can increase violence. For example, drinking too much alcohol or drugs. The best thing to do is to seek help or help other who needs it. Violence shouldn’t be the first thing you do to people. Any kind of violence will affect the closest one.

Discrimination still occurs in this world. This happens because people make unfair assumptions about what people with certain characteristics can and can’t do.  There are many types of discrimination. Most common discriminations are by age, disability, harassment, religion, sexual orientation and more. We are still fighting to eradicate discrimination. But we can’t change what people believe. We can change people manners.

In this moment, violence and discrimination are increasing in many ways. I don’t think this is what I want for my kids and future generations. We need to set an example. We need to understand that we all are human beings. We should be polite and be respectful of one another. We should be more open mind and listen to what others have to say. We all have equal opportunity and rights and live in a safe environmental place.
