How does violence affect our daily lives(10 point if you give me alot of info)??
Answers: If you mean real violence in the world around us, the answer is obvious: It makes us afraid to live our lives, fearful of other people, doubtful of the ability of authorities to protect us and not too sure we shouldn't be violent ourselves just to survive.
If you mean the violence of the media, the answer is more subtle:
it inures us to violence, it makes us think of ourselves and others as worthless in the larger picture, it glorifies violent people, and it makes us believe that violence is the only real solution to problems.
Ours is a sick culture. By the time a kid is ten years old they have seen something like 100,000 people brutally killed as entertainment. No one thinks it's wrong to show this to kids. I've seen parents bring toddlers into slasher movies.
The price we will pay is that eventually as people we will be so weakened and the authorities so indifferent to our common plight, and once the real horrors of the future have arrived in force, that people will casually kill for food, sex or pleasure, expecting no punishment. This is not a distant future. I would wager that if there were food shortages due to plague or natural calamity, we would see this kind of environment take hold within a matter of days.
In the U.S., real violence or TV violence causes us to become desensitized to it. We become fearful in our cars or on the streets, especially at night. Our trust in others gradually disappears and we expect the worst. We begin to think it is normal.
It makes us LOCK our doors.
It makes us BUY guns.
It makes us AFRAID to stop and help others.
It makes us INJURED and DIE premature deaths.
It teaches us SELF-DEFENSE.
It can make us WORRY about what ifs.
It makes us SAD when we loose lloved ones to violence.
It INSPIRES people to write music and poems.
It makes us HOPE for life after death.
