Violence an Uprising Concern

What has the human race got themselves into? If one turns on the radio or the television, the news are filled with the violence that has been occurring around the world. There is slaughter and mass murder of humans. Each human being is not different from each other. We are made of flesh and blood, so why is there so much hatred in this world.  

We look at the war in the Middle East which has been going on for almost a decade. Due to the use of weapons of mass destruction, the historic architecture, homes and lives of people have been destroyed. Those who have survived have limited resources left to rebuild their lives back. The Middle Eastern land was once considered filled with riches such as oil and gold. The people were living a happy and a healthy life. The war caused chaos and huge massacre of men and the women was assaulted and raped. According to www.independent.co.uk, the women in Syria are training and preparing for a fight against the ISIS to protect themselves and their families. During times of utter despair people rise up to fight for what they believe is right.

Moving on, third world countries such as Congo where there is abundance of minerals such as Gold, Tin, tantalum, tungsten. These materials are used to make technologies such as cell phones, game consoles, etc. We in the United States use these technologies in abundance. Almost every one carries a cell phone but do we know how the materials came about to build these technology. According to raisehopeforcongo.org “Armed groups, along with the Congolese National Army, are guilty of gang rapes, rapes leading to injury and death, and abductions of women and girls”. These military men are supposed to be protecting the women and children but they are the ones committing these assaults on them. Many of these women are too ashamed to go back to their family or they are disowned. Some of these women also end up being sex slaves as they have no choice. The men are assaulted or murdered if they do not follow the rules of these groups.   

Let’s look at local events that have been occurring within the United States, the events in Baltimore has escalated rapidly after the incident of Freddy Grey’s death while under police custody. CNN news states that in Baltimore, May has been the deadliest month with 35 homicides. Comparing this statistics, it has been 15 years that so many people has died in one month. It is the act of racism or miscommunication between the law authority and civilians. Racism has been a brought up numerous times concerning the law authority. There have been many incidents after this event that have brought up the concern that the mind set of people has to change. Race is not something we should look at in people. It’s the behavior of certain people that makes us believe that race is involved when looking at violence.   There have been looting and assault which has risen drastically thus causing much grievance and distress to the law authority and also the residents.

Violence and war has erupted in our society. There are numerous events which are occurring as I am writing this paper. These crimes have caused great chaos and bloodshed around the globe. It has affected the lives of not only humans but living creatures who share this planet with us. Is there hope for the future generation? Or will history of war and violence repeat itself?
