...charity to help fundraise and build the community so that it can become a well structured environment for the kids. Also in this process it should help the communities stop what we call “violence”. We will name this “Stop the Violence Movement”. I. First I will begin and break down the term “Violence” and where did the “Stop the Violence Movement come from”. This will give the people a little insight and some background of how Violence got to be so bad that African-American men took charge and stood up for the community so that the poor communities could become better places to live. II. Furthermore as we continue to the stop the violence trait we understand that if the parents and children see that we are trying to do the community good, they will see that and want to join in and volunteer and the way we work we could “BUILD AN EMPIRE”. All we need is a little support and hard workers to campaign and we could change that way things are in the neighborhoods. III. On the next topic we will begin to see that advertisement has a lot to do with what how the kids go about their ways of life. We should advertise the good instead of advertising the bad. Seems like when we turn on the news we see nothing but bad things and that is caused because no one steps up and takes charge in anything and it’s time to make a stand and stand up for the community. The Transition: I will teach how if we save the community how many lives will be saved and how it will help things in...

...Domestic Violence and The Relationship with Human Rights in Surabaya Evangeline Josephine Muljono - 34412016 Abstract This paper shows about domestic violence that happens in Surabaya and the relationship with human rights of Surabaya citizens. This paper shows that domestic violence violates Pancasila and its principles because it violates human rights of people in Surabaya. And as part of Indonesia, we must take action about it. There will also be some solutions that are offered to decrease the number of domestic violence in Surabaya. Background Humans are social beings. Every human needs other people to carry out his/her life. This means that every human must gather and work together to build a better life and the key point of working together is having the same goal. Building a team, communities, and organizations are some of the way to achieve the same goal that people have. But besides that, the simplest way to achieve a goal that people have in common is building a family. Family is very important because it is the basic need of human being. Family is a place to build a character of a person. Family is a place to learn how to respect and protect each other. And family will only work out only when the members work together and have a positive relationship to each other. Nowadays, in Surabaya, the meaning of building a good family has been fading. Every year, the number of divorce in Surabaya is getting bigger and bigger. And one of the causes of that is violence...

...there is so much violence caused by children, in society today. Is there a high percentage of youth violence that is caused by media in your area? Do you know anyone that has been affected by this? This is something that is becoming more of a problem every day. It has already been determined that media is one of the leading causes of youth violence. Solving this problem will take the time and effort of everyone, not just a few. Some people don’t believe that media causes violence, but there have been several studies conducted to prove otherwise. Bittman, Rutherford, Brown, and Unsworth (2011), “negative impacts on children’s cognitive development and educational achievement have been associated with displacement of cognitively more valuable activities, especially in infancy (Anderson & Pempek, 2005) and early childhood” (Schmidt & Anderson, 20007). There has been so much focus on media that society has forgotten that age appropriate television works. Age-appropriate television increases language and development. Television and media are visual aids children learn from. It is hard to determine if a certain form of media causes the most violence. However, it has been proven that exposure to the media has been known to cause violent behavior, especially in the youth. Hundreds of these studies have been conducted, and they all seem to come back to the same conclusion. One analysis stated that media has been causing violence since as early as 1975. Violence in video games...

There has been a lot of focus on how to regulate the use of guns and how to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and people who may have some type of mental problem.

Many people are killed in incidents that contain gun violence like the school shootings and killings of children at places like Sandy Hook, and even more public places like the Aurora Movie Theater where lives are taken from innocent people.

Women are especially the victim of the domestic violence. Most of the women who experience domestic violence are reluctant to express their voice because they are too afraid of the society.

...2015 “Do the Write Thing” Challenge Teen violence is a huge problem in the United States. Many people, including teachers, students, and parents try to stop it, but sometimes it’s not enough. Teen violence has grown throughout the years. It has many causes and has affected many people’s lives. Everyone is affected whether you are the person being wronged or not. So, how has youth violence affected me, what are some of the causes of youth violence and what can I do to stop it? Assuredly, violence has affected my life in a negative way, but not directly. When I hear a student being called names, see them being harassed, or watch a news report detailing physical or mental abuse of a youth, it fills me with anger, sadness and sometimes fear. It’s horrible that this sort of thing happens and ignoring it only makes matters worse. Our schools do their part with helping students with the prevention of bullying and by having guidance counselors on hand to address any issues that arise. At my middle school there’s a rule that requires all students to sit at the lunch table of their designated third period class. One of the reasons for this rule is to prevent a bully from a different class from sitting at a table and harassing another student during lunch. Unfortunately, this rule negatively affects me and many of the other students. If your lunch period were the only opportunity for you to sit with a friend that wasn’t in your third period class, you would be unable to do so without...

...gun violence "In the 1960's, there was one school shooting. In the 1980's, there were 27. In the 1990's, there were 58. In the past decade, there have been over 120" (Hoehn). The last 18 years have been experienced by too many shootings. We must take action to help stop gun violence. In furtherance of reducing gun violence, we must handle the problem of easy access to guns and address men's mental health. One way to reduce gun violence is to regulate the easy access to guns. In the article," How to Reduce Shootings", by Nicolas Kristoff in The New York Times Kristoff claims how automobiles could kill as many people as guns but they don't because we regulate them and limit easy access to automobiles. "We don't ban cars, but we work hard to regulate them - and limit access to them – so as to reduce the death toll they cause. This has been spectacularly successful, reducing the death rate per 100 million miles driven by 95 percent since 1921" (Kristoff). Regulations that could be added before accessing guns to help reduce gun violence are banning people under 21 to purchase firearms, background checks, and banning bump stocks. Cars have been regulated greatly since 1921 and the death toll has gone down to 95 percent for every 100 million miles driven, if we regulate guns the way we do with cars the death toll could also go down greatly and we wouldn't have to worry about these shootings happening. Additionally, we can also have tighter gun laws to help reduce gun violence. According...

...The Drug War: Will It Ever Stop? INTRODUCTION The United States and Mexico share a border that stretches 2,000 miles. The border is a product of the clash of the British and Spanish Empires. It is a place of lawlessness and violence. Drug cartels have used the border to smuggle illegal drugs into the United States for years. The United States market for drugs is a multibillion dollar a year industry. 90% of the illegal drugs that are smuggled into America come through our southern borders. As a nation we consume over 50% of the worlds illegal drugs, which exemplify the problem that America has with drug consumption. The demand for illegal drugs in the US allows drug cartels in Mexico to make billions of dollars by smuggling Marijuana, and Methamphetamines through the US/Mexican Border. Efforts to stop the flow of illegal drugs into the US have been unsuccessful. Drug Cartels use various methods in the transportation of their merchandise. Such methods include using underground tunnels, semi trucks, automobiles, and humans to transport these illegal drugs. Only 3 to 8 percent of the drugs that are smuggled from Latin America into the United States is confiscated, which is a very discouraging number. Our border patrol and DEA need to do a better job securing our borders and preventing the flow of such harmful drugs into America. There are a reported 7 cartels that operate in Mexico; the biggest players in the drug trade between Mexico and the US are the Tijuana, Juarez, Sinaloa...
