Violence means “instead of resorting to methods such as problem solving, persuasion and reconciliation when in disagreement with oneself or with different people and groups; It is defined as "behavior based on the intentional use of force that may result in injury, death, or psychological harm."
Defining violence is not sufficient to understand violence. It is not possible to fully understand anything in psychology and sociology and to put an end to "that" by saying "this is it". As in the basic sciences, testing a situation within cause and effect relationships and saying "this situation is always like this under these conditions" is not valid for social sciences. Even when this text ends, there will be no end to what is said about violence.
Violence continues to exist in every aspect of life: at home, at school, at work, on the street... As long as humanity exists, a life without violence does not seem possible. A world with much less violence is the dream of many people. "Why do people become murderers? Can people be prevented from becoming murderers?" Instead of questions like "penalties should be increased" and "death penalty should be brought back" discussions focus on violence, murder, rape, etc. It comes up again and again as events occur. First of all, it is necessary to remind again and again the fact that violence cannot be eliminated by another violence. Murder and rape continue, whether the death penalty exists, whether it is abolished or in countries where it is still implemented. In this context, it is now obvious that the desire to "bring back the death penalty" has no meaning in every incident that occurs. Requesting the death penalty is a call for the condemned brutality to be legally implemented, but it should not be forgotten that this punishment is irreversible, irreversible and inhumane. The reasons that make a person a murderer There are many different studies investigating the issue. None of these studies show that the fear of execution deters people from becoming murderers. Being able to identify those at risk of violence in advance and trying to take precautions can protect people to some extent.
Well, in order to reduce violence and make it no longer a value. What should be done? Of course, it is necessary to understand the human being first. Human is a being that is hard to handle, cannot be predicted exactly what to do when, and has a social aspect as well as a psychological aspect.
People Why are people prone to violence?
When people are prone to violence; Everything from their cultural life, education level, family life to the geographical structure they live in is effective. Everything from the traumas experienced during childhood to the social environment can pave the way for a person to be prone to violence. Individuals who did not have a healthy childhood may resort to violence to suppress situations that they cannot overcome in adulthood. Violence, abuse and neglect experienced by a person with a common family history of violence during childhood; It can trigger the emergence of anger and violence. To prevent this, we need fundamental changes. Education comes first among these. This education, which begins in the family, should continue at school. We should create environments where our children, who will be our future, can express themselves, and information on this subject should be given under the name of communication lessons in order to strengthen and develop their expression skills. Making the child feel valuable and that his/her opinions are important will benefit the child in terms of self-confidence. In this context, if the causes of violence are learned, it will be easier to make progress towards a solution. We should know that; It is important for childhood, adulthood and a healthy character.
It should not be forgotten that; Everyone has antisocial impulses (trying to take things that do not belong to us, wishing someone evil, taking advantage of others, etc. cross everyone's mind), but some people carry these antisocial impulses to an extreme degree and exhibit behaviors that express these antisocial impulses. Research shows that severe antisocial behavior occurs more in men. In addition, antisocial parents have been found to be one of the biggest risks, but it has also been observed that education can reduce this risk.
It is very important for people who are prone to violence to receive psychological support. Being self-aware means that an individual will take the necessary steps for a solution.
To summarize this process; Violence is a result of the individual's inability to cope with his feelings of inadequacy and to accept this situation in all situations where he feels this weakness. is a rejection reaction he developed against his weaker self. In other words, it is the intense rejection reaction of the individual as a result of realizing that he is not himself, every time he encounters those who have managed to become himself.
