The Role Of Violence In The Physical World
Violence is a universal problem that impacts upon all cultures throughout history, however despite its extensive impact on the world there is no comprehensive and universally accepted definition of violence. On a fundamental level it can be agreed all violence is motivated by hostility with the intent to cause harm and damage, this can take place in many forms including, physical abuse (to self, others or property), sexual abuse, psychological abuse, deprivation or through neglect. However violence is a complex issue, it is strongly interlinked with culture and time so as society’s change and evolve so does their beliefs (especially morality, what is perceived to be right and wrong) and understandings including ideas surrounding violence. An example of this evolving definition of violence is clearly seen today with the rise of cyberharresment and cyberstalking.
