The violence

THE VIOLENCE, Is thing of all?

At the moment the violence is invading the world, this is a bad habit to which many people appeal without cause and they are able to harm irreparable or hopeless to its surroundings, two classes of violence exist: the physics and the psychology, but when being used some of you are it is not known which is worse.

The violence is the abuse of the force that has become the most serious conflict before the peoples thoughts imposition and it drives to the man to their self-destruction, it brings consequences so much physical as psychological; although today are created campaigns or treaties against the violence but are failure, because it is difficult to reach an agreement if some power is of for half, as the political power.

The political power in Colombia represents the cause of more frequent violence, because in this case the interest that in common one has it should be executed in any way with the excuse of the very common one, this way the violence is an employee to arrive to an end and the facts that are required to reach it they are characterized by the man intimidation.

The period during which the Colombian violence became more notorious was between 1948 and 1960, after the Jorge E. Gaitán died, who represented for the Colombian town a great candidate of the liberal party and had many probabilities of being chosen to be a president, disorder them that next they lapsed after this incident they are known as the Bogotazo that is taken as a protest of the town by this murder, and the National Front that was the dispute among the liberal party and conservative that it finishes with an agreement of presidential duration.


Consequently the ideal thing are that nobody happened for in summit of anybody, because according to the commandments to kill is an act in which the man doesn't have own right, because the only one that is able to remove him the life to another is God, the human rights are also violating when wanting to impose something to the force, because the man should be free for the taking of any decision.

In conclusion, as Thomas Hobbes mentions “The man is a wolf for the man", and for more evolution that is given, the man will never stop to attack his own race because he needs to survive, and to achieve it should happen for in summit of other this way that that this making is not the correct thing because for this the end will always justify the means.

Titanic is a romantic movie, was written and produced by James Camerón, who is recognized in this means by the participation in movies like King Kong, the king of the rings, filmed in format Imax and Weta Digital; this payed for Kate Winslet, who is a Hollywood actress and is recognized who work in movies like Celestial Creatures , Sense and Sensibility among others; and Leonardo DiCaprio, Who is a Hollywood actor and is recognized who work in movies like The Aviathor, Romeo And Julieta, among others.
