Is Violence the Ideal Way to Resolve Problems?
I recently saw a video on twitter where two sisters are fighting while the parent is standing by calmly accepting it as a resolution to whatever differences had caused to the problem. When I called this the Might makes Might flawed policy, someone objected and insisted that violence is an excellent way to resolve issues.
Now, why do people arrive at such a conclusion? What exactly is the basis for that general assumption? Have these persons ever actually been forced to happily accept a situation that they hated after being beaten into submission?
Of course not. Anyone violently forced into compliance in that manner harbors a deep resentment and seeks revenge.
So the question is, why do such persons offer violence as an ideal resolution? Well, one answer is that such persons are ones who themselves love to impose their will on weaker persons and then, for the sake of easing their conscience, prefer to feel that the person who has been forced is OK by it. Understandable since the alternative would be to feel remorse, and such bullies never feel remorse because feeling remorse would deprive them from bullying, and bullying is a strong psychological necessity in their case.
In short, the strong feel that the weak should humbly accept being forced into compliance, and so they defend that policy as being ethically justifiable. Well, is it really?
The idea that violence solves problems is a pervasive one in our society. From wars and revolutions to political assassinations and armed conflicts, violence has been used as a means of resolving disputes throughout history.
But does violence really solve problems, or does it simply create further suffering and destruction? In this article, we’ll explore the impact of violence on conflict resolution and examine why people often believe that violence is an effective way to solve problems.
