Jak rozumiesz dzisiaj – wzrastanie w przemocy. (what are the reasons for present - day increase in violence?)
Nowadays the world becomes much more dangerous place to live in. What we can observe is that violence is now something common. In the past years the number of serious crimes has increased. Most of these crimes are committed for economic and social reasons.
Many offences and burglaries are committed for money, because theft is the easiest way to get money, cars or various things. Thefts are committed especially by people who do not want to work because they are too lazy.
Next reason turning people to violence and crime can be difficult relationship between parents and children during the period of adolescence. If children are neglected in the most turbulent time in their life they could start using alcohol and drugs, refuse to attend school, run away from home or even commit a crime, often very serious - such as murder. There are many reasons why people kill others. Sometimes murderers kill because they want to take their revenge or for money. But nowadays many people, particularly kids and teenagers kill for no reason. In many cases they do it for fun or they want to try how it is to kill somebody. They also kill people because they are bored and they do not have better things to do. In my opinion TV - especially silly cartoons and cruel films could have big impact on young minds and directly or indirectly it could make young people use violence and commit crimes.
Another violent practice is kidnapping - usually for ransom.
Besides we could mention that many women are raped every year. And also some innocent children are raped, too. The reason for that could be mental illness or unawareness of doing something wrong.
However, in many cases that sort of crime is committed with full - awarences and premeditation and even without any remorse.
The other kind of violence in present - day are wars among football fans. Each group of hostile fans thinks that their favourite team is the best of all and they try to prove it by using force. In these fights they often use very sharp and dangerous weapons.
I think that we can argue if these people are really football fans or maybe they only find in easy way to start fights and harm somebody.
When we talk about violence it should be mentioned that many children, who use violence, are taught it at home. Usually in pathological and alcoholic families violence is something normal, natural and common.
Unemployment, frustration and too much free time can be the other reason for using violence.
What can we do to decrease the present - day rate of violence? In my opnion the most important thing is to make very strict sentences for criminals. I think that it helps us decrease the rate of violence among people.
