Violence is an intentional act that causes

or may cause physical or psychological

harm to other beings. From the
beginning of human history to the
present day, the term violence has been
considered in various economic and
social formations. As such, it is a
historical phenomenon influenced by
many political, economic, legal,
psychological and cultural factors, with
irreparable consequences for the people
who suffer from it, the family and society
itself.Many believe that violence is due to
the influence of society on young
people,since they learn by observing
society, whether on television, at school
or at home. But there are also authors
who maintain that, according to
research, people have always behaved
violently towards other creatures to
protect themselves. Of course, the study
of these forms of violence from different
fields of knowledge makes it difficult not
only to study them together, but also to
adopt a clear and unified definition.On
the other hand, this multiplicity of
approaches to violence from different
disciplinary fields allows both to examine
violence in all its complexity and to
identify more precisely its causes, the
way of representing it and the dynamics
or functions adopted in the different
studies on violence. This essay attempts
to clearly identify this tension between
different authors and perspectives on
whether people are born violent or
become violent.Violence, a means that
should already be banished in a civilized
society, continues to act among us as if it
were the only means, through which a
few make their voices heard, while the
majority, harmed, must continue to
endure.Violence (in its different types) is
a topic that will always give a lot to talk
about, because as human beings we have
a certain tendency to allow our feelings
(whether negative or positive) to govern
our actions. Normally violence manifests
itself as a release or consequence of our
negative feelings, it is rare to find it as a
release or consequence of our positive
feelings.
