Violence in the Communities

In this paper I will be discussing the affects of violence in and around our communities. First I will provide you with the definition of violence; violence is defined as a swift and intense force.

One of the main reason children are so into violence is because it’s all over the television. And we as parents allow this to happen we watch all kinds of shows and allow the kids to. Even most of the cartoon shows and movies now have some kind of violence in them. We watch these shows to occupy our time and to provide us entertainment without knowing the effects they can have on our children and us.
