    Disagreed

    Violence cannot be justified. Violence is a bad thing, although it is overused in our world. Wars and political conflicts happen all the time on our planet. Some political conflicts end peacefully and some end with violence. Many of these problems and violent actions take place in poorer countries (in countries like Somalia or Congo who have both suffered from these kinds of Civil Wars) and usually have an affect on innocent people who are unfairly and without choice dragged into someone else's convulsive game.

    This sort of violence cannot be justified. Unfortunately there is not enough people with that kind of power to stop this brutal fighting. There are a lot of organizations, foundations and charities who try to save people who are dragged into violence and often getting killed, although they didn't have anything with the conflict in the first place.

    Consequently, I think that violence cannot be justified because, usually it has an affect on innocent people which is just evil. I also decided that there is almost always a pacifistic way of solving a problem weather it's African tribes or European countries. Violence cannot be justified.

  4. I agrre with Matthew's comment which said that violance is a terrible thing and people only suffer from it, but it can be justified in rare cases. An example of using justified violance is self-defense.
