Comparison On Violence
In The Iliad the biggest theme seems to be violence, there’s a lot of war and the only way things seemed to be solved is by fighting. There’s a lot of murder more than free fighting and someone actually surviving in it. Usually the fighting in The Iliad is caused by really stupid things that always seem to happen. In our world today yes there is violence, always has been and always will be. Yes, there is war still around. The Iliad may or may not be fully true, but war is one thing that is and always have been around for centuries and more centuries to come. People just can’t seem to get along.
In the article Slaughter Of The Innocents a horrible shooting massacre occurred. Many don’t know the reasoning behind it either and most wouldn’t because there really is no reason for it, but of course there is. A very stupid reason it happened, but it also had a very simple solution, people just didn’t see it. It was said the man that did the shooting was the father of one of the kids that went there and that he was mentally unstable. He didn’t like the principal's reaction to him when they were talking about his child so the next day he came in with a gun and killed a whole bunch of the kids.
In the article Attacks On Christians a riot broke out against a Protestant church. It is said the attack occurred on Dec. 9, in Weeraketiya. A crowd of about a thousand people, most being
Buddhist monks, stormed the church

The reason these two databases were chosen was because Canadian Newsstand offered articles from multiple newspapers in the country, therefore providing me with diverse…
unemployment and underemployment rates. This shows the estimated unemployment rate in Jamaica and the comparison to the world which is pretty high. One of the reasons for why it’s been hard for the country of Jamaica’s GDP to rise. Jamaica was also hard hit by the effects of the global economic crisis and growth remains low. High unemployment and the crime problem, including gang violence that is fueled by the drug trade is reason why the GDP is low and is so hard to increase. The country has…
throughout the book is critical in understanding what Burgess wants to get across to readers. The language is measured by both the violence and maturity that Alex goes through. Ultimately, the simple function of telling the story becomes multifaceted with the way Burgess uses language and that can be seen in two significant ways: the first is internal, important to the violence within the story and to the growth of Alex and the second is extrinsic, the author giving his viewpoint on the themes introduced…
which many Canadian youth take part in starting as early as the ages of 11, 12, and 13. We live in a century that violence in dating relationships is not uncommon. When teens start dating, they reflect their parents’ relationships. Youth that have parents in unhealthy relationships tend to follow the same behaviours. Canadian Youth and Dating Violence Teens are more prone to violence in relationships because they are vulnerable. Teens tend to believe that everything their partner does is because…

offending, there are also differences in the types of crimes committed by men and women. A higher proportion of female offenders are convicted of property offences such as theft and shoplifting, while men are more likely to be convicted of crimes such as violence and sexual offences. One of the argued reasons as to why men have higher levels of offending than women is due to their greater opportunities to commit crime and women having fewer opportunities to do so. These opportunities are often enforced through…
La Haine Review “La Haine”, a 93 minute film regarding about three adolescents(Vincent Cassel, Hubert Kounde, and Said Taghmaoui) who struggle to cope in a poverty-stricken environment in which hatred and violence are part of everyday life.

Based on a true event, “La Haine” is inspired by a real event where a young man was murdered while being questioned at a Parisian Police station. In…
questions on what Justice is and facts/questions on prison-Jail. They spoke about the different age groups and how young children see violence and become a part of the violence in the streets because they don’t know any better. The students stated a lot of facts on the ages of violence and the very young age (as young) as 10 year olds getting arrested for violence, and how their future (young children getting arrested) wasn’t so bright and they would just grow up and end up in prison and jail. The…
