Although violence is an undesirable and negative situation, unfortunately we can see that it has penetrated almost every aspect of our lives. People apply this in different ways, sometimes they are named as perpetrators, sometimes they are victims and continue to be exposed to violence. Even now, somewhere in the world, some people are victims and others are perpetrators. In fact, violence is considered as a form of conflict as it exists in nature itself.
If we were to define violence, we can define it briefly as doing or making someone do something they want by applying force or pressure to a person. Acts of violence here may include coercion, assault, brute force, infliction of physical or psychological pain or torture, hitting and wounding. Violence can be exhibited in various behaviors. These are torture, beating, coup, pressure, threat, murder, terrorism, blackmail, etc. can be listed as follows. Sometimes violence can be used against a person, sometimes against an animal or object, and it is even possible for the person to direct the violence towards himself. We call this situation suicide or situations involving harm to body parts. When we examine violence within the framework of psychology, psychiatric disorders should not be forgotten. Mental disorders of organic origin, such as Alzheimer's, delirium, personality disorders, antisocial personality disorder, may be higher in these people than in others.
No single factor is effective in the occurrence of violence. Here, psychosocial, psychodynamic, neurological and environmental factors, attachment style between parent and child during infancy, school and educational life are in mutual interaction. Growing up in a bad environment can also trigger a person's potential for violence. At the same time, the effect of culture on violence is an undeniable fact. Exaggeration and glorification of masculine characteristics, despising women, and perceiving that beating children and women as a man's right trigger and normalize violence.
Although it is not widely known, another type of violence is psychological violence. If there is a situation that creates feelings of worthlessness in the other person, this situation indicates psychological violence, and at the same time, one of the characteristics of this person is that he/she criticizes the other person very often. is its ification. This is also a form of emotional violence. Jealousy is also a type of emotional violence. A person causes pain by being jealous of the person he has and does not want to share; He upsets the person he is jealous of with excessive control and doting.
The first unit in which an individual's character structure develops is the family. First of all, the family has a lot of work to do. In addition to parental attitudes, it is very important to adequately control the child and express the child's boundaries in a language that the child can understand. 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. Who knows, maybe we can find the opportunity to eliminate violence from our lives.
