Topic > Violence brought about by violence - 1454

“You see, the people in power understand exactly one thing: violence” (Chomsky). The history of the world is full of blood, greed and violence. There have only been wars instigated by the rich, the powerful and the greedy. Violence often leads to more violence that will cause pain everywhere or somewhere in this world (Solter). Just as Issac Asimov once said, “Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent,” but things tend to heat up and go to the next level. Violence, especially in wars, only leads to more violence due to many different elements, especially revenge, political and economic greed. Beowulf, the bravest of all warriors, sailed to the distant land of the Danes. Hearing of the terror that had struck the kingdom, he went in an attempt to reassure the people. The Geats waited 14 years before stepping forward and offering a helping hand to King Hrothgar. Beowulf was able to do this, not only because the omens were good, but because the Danes were their allies and he wanted to help a suffering kingdom. As night fell, the day he landed on the shores, Beowulf witnessed what was terrorizing the kingdom, a monster called Grendel killed people and took over the mead hall. Beowulf killed the monster by tearing its arm from its body. Through the killing of the monster, order was restored in the Danish kingdom. “A prince of the Geats, he had killed Grendel, ended the pain, the pain, the suffering imposed on Hrothgar's defenseless people by a bloodthirsty demon.” (Raffel 830-833). In World War I, the United States was one of the world's superpowers. This was the time of isolationism for the United States, which meant we separated ourselves from the world. The United States aided the war financially and materially... mid-paper... based primarily on eight things: national security, economic interest, human rights, world peace, intent to dominate, power politics, religious fanaticism, fairness and equality . The previously stated facts and evidence support the structurally sound proposition that violence, by any means, proves to impose upon itself to create an axiomatic amount of further violence.
