Did you know that violence accounts for more than 1.6 million deaths every year?
Violence has been around us our whole lives and is something that will never come to a stop. Violence will continue through the rest of our lives and the lives to come in the future if someone doesn't step up and try to take a stand. Society’s leading problem is violence and can only be helped through the kind of leadership that demonstrates Trust and Integrity, Confidence, and a good communication. First, trust and integrity are one of my three most important qualities that every leader needs to have if they are gonna try to stop violence within our society. Trust and integrity is a key quality on how we can try to stop the problem of violence in our society. Talking about integrity, Oprah Winfrey said: “ Real integrity is doing the right, knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.” What she said kinda ties into to trust as well because everyone is gonna know that you’re going to do it and do well. Trust and Integrity would be important for a leader to stop the violence because it shows a sense of trust and shows that the leader will do the right thing.

Confidence is very important because when you make decisions and you aren't confident about them. Then your followers are gonna realize that you have no clue what you are doing and they won't trust you. Henry David Thoreau once said “ Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What man thinks of himself, that is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate.” What he is trying to say is that, if you don't have enough confidence in yourself then you will not
“The practice of violence, like all action, changes the world, but the most probable change is to a more violent world” (Arendt pg 80). Violence is contagious, like a disease, which will destroy nations and our morals as human beings. Each individual has his or her own definition of violence and when it is acceptable or ethical to use it. Martin Luther King Jr., Walter Benjamin, and Hannah Arendt are among the many that wrote about the different facets of violence, in what cases it is ethical, the role we as individuals play in this violent society and the political aspects behind our violence.
Confidence is defined as firm trust. Essentially, those two words can summarize leadership, the firm trust in your ability as a leader, the firm trust in your peers, the firm trust that you will accomplish the desired outcome. When analyzing the greatest leaders ever you hear these crazy stories of confidence in their vision. Martin Luther King Jr. is a prime example of someone who not only led but made people believe as well.
What has our society come to these days? Everywhere we look, violence is present, at the streets, at work, at school, and even at home. Every day in the news we see reports about shootings, wars, thefts, drugs, rapes, and deaths. The worse part of seen this in the news is that all way do it’s complain about it and sit back. We do not even attempt an explanation or a resolution. Violence is among one of the most malignant act that has been increasing day by day. And why is it that we complain about other people being violent, but when we are asked if we are violent or if we have ever responded with violence, everyone says they are not violent. But if among ourselves we are not violent then who is it that makes our society a violent society?
What has America come to? Although the articles, “We’re No.1(1)!” written by Thomas Friedman, and the article “Violence is Who We Are,” by Steven Crichley, have different overall subjects, they have a similar arguments. The world isn’t as great as it used to be, we are lacking good leadership, and we happily invite wrong doings into our lives.
Throughout history violence has plagued our human race. We have passed laws to protect society, but the
Manitonquat, an American author, once said, “It is clear that the way to heal society of its violence... and lack of love is to replace the pyramid of domination with the circle of equality and respect.” Violence is everywhere and inside of every person in the world. From the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, to tragedies such as the Columbine shooting and the attack to the Twin Towers on 9/11, violence has undeniably shaped America. Consequently, with such tragedies, the nation is filled with immense sorrow and disbelief. This is the time that America’s citizens need a strong leader to speak to them. In a speech following a tragic death and one of resistance to violence, Robert F. Kennedy, a past American politician
On a daily basis there’s violence happening. We hear about cruelty in the news, stories involving some type of cruelty, wars going on and I have witness violence myself. Although we must remember that there’s a bright side to the negative. No one should satisfied the evilness in this world.
There are two sides to many things, one could argue that there are two sides to everything. Violence is not excluded from this argument. The two possible sides, or viewpoints, that are a result of violence can easily be seen as extremes of either side. One side could argue that violence is something that is necessary and the other argue that violence is only a tool for destruction. People who insist that violence is necessary in order to move forward view it as a way to sway the outcome to their benefit. For those who see violence as a cowardly tactic to control people, violence is a useless display of power and dominance. Yet violence has also been a way to defend oneself from people who pose a threat. This can lead people who have good
Confidence is super important so that you can work without feeling like you aren’t doing something correctly when you are but also so you can make an error and fix it without getting worried of making that error. Which makes it so they don’t need to worry about you ask for help before trying to fix the error yourself first to save you
Human civilization has come a long way from the Stone Age. Yet man continues to be violent in his conduct. In fact, violence has increased today. A man cannot walk on the street without looking over his shoulder because of fear of assault. Top leaders of the nation, as well as retired military generals, are assassinated in broad daylight. The roads are spilled with human blood. Firearms, bombs, swords, are frequently flourished and used.
Violence is an issue in human nature. Everyone has their own definition and their own interpretations of violence. The big question is if the world is still growing in its violent nature, or is it finally reaching its solemn, peaceful generation. The evolution of violence has grown in many different paths from survival of the fittest, genocide, slavery, etc. According to Steven Pinker’s article “Violence Vanquished,” he explains how the world is entering an era of peace because we do not deal with the same violence our ancestors did in the past. That is true. We abolished slavery, stopped brutal wars, and revolutionized with strategies such as commerce. Pinker analyzes his arguments very well, but negates common issues of violence that we still
So, first and foremost quality of a leader is not only to see at high things but also make the people see and strive for the same thing. For this purpose, they have to monitor even minor things by making people feel valued and inspired. A good
Violence is something that will always be there, whether it be right up in your face, on a battlefield, or creeping in the darkness, sowing the seeds of despair and resentment in humanity’s hearts, forever changing the landscape of your life to come. Violence has vigorously torn apart relationships that have lasted centuries, all because of a single gunshot, which has led to massive bloodshed, and the loss of many loved ones. Violence is a part of a cycle that is necessary in life, but would rather be avoided, which is why I am here, to help diminish that cycle of hatred, through the power of prevention through education, and self control.
