Violence vs. Non Violence

Violent and non violent methods of protest and peacekeeping have both been used. In my opinion non violent methods will always be better than violent methods. If you look at what is going on in Syria you can see why violence is not the answer and all it does is cause chaos and death. With non violent protest you accomplish the same goal as violent protester would, but without all the chaos and death. Non violent protest also demonstrates how human beings have the ability to come together and solve issues by peacefully communicating to one another. It may take a longer amount of time to solve things peacefully but in the long run it will be much more effective than trying to solve an issue with violence.

  1. I agree with your point about how violence will not solve anything in the long run; however, if you only protest once, I feel as though violence may solve your problem more quickly. It's sad to say but, unfortunately fear will spark change.
