Me, my sister and my mom were all watching something on TV and one of the news reporters said something along the lines of "We need to eliminate violence in our culture" or something like that. I made a comment that violence doesn't need to be "eliminated", that it's in fact, normal, and has been part of human nature since the beginning of our existence. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I'm pro-murder, but I'm not anti-violence all together. So many people say that violence is not necessary in our environment because we are so advanced - This is the thing that aggravates me so much, why is it that society is trying to eliminate ALL forms of violence? It's like expressing anger isn't acceptable. That you should be ashamed of it, hold it in and never show it. If violence is so unnecessary and unacceptable, then why are we constantly needing to express it? Through video games, through movies and TV shows. It's there, so why do we have to suppress it? I feel like the society I live in, is all about suppression.
I asked this to my mom, what is the first reaction when provoked and very angry? To hit something, to take out anger physically. Why is that so wrong? What is so bad about having a fight? So you hurt someone with words, why is that better?
The question still remains, why is violence shamed upon? When it's been present for centuries and is a part of human history. If you don't have anything to contribute to this, do not answer.
