Fire and destruction, as the books are burning. Montag witnesses the destruction of his beloved property at the hands of Captain Beatty. Violence calling upon his name while revenge whispering in his ear, Montag with a “shrieking blaze” burns Captain Beatty alive (Bradybury). People are attracted to violence. People are attracted to violence because they want to show that they are more dominant than others. In Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, Paris tries showing his dominance on Romeo by attempting to murder him. Paris is at the Capulet Tomb to show respect to his love Juliet. While he was there he saw Romeo sneaking around. Paris believes that Romeo, is at the tomb to desecrate it. Paris wants Romeo to “obey and go… for thou must die” because he doesn't want his loved one's tomb to be destroyed (5.3.57). Paris tries to show his dominance over Romeo through violence but ends up dead by the hands of Romeo. Paris is influenced by violence because he was consumed by the desire for dominance over his “wife’s murderer”. Dominance is known as a positive emotion which acts as the generator for violence. “What is the psychology behind violence and aggression” from Virginia Commonwealth University by Brian McNeill has come up with a conclusion on why …show more content…
Those people are wrong because humans are called upon by violence or are forced to use it. Their emotions can attract them to violence as well. In Baltimore, there are alot of young men who have been victims of gun violence. In CBS’s news cast, a man got shot in the back while walking home. As a result, that man has the fear that he may get shot again, and so if he feels like he's about to get shot he is going to use violence upon that person. He wasn’t born with the desire to cause violence. He was attracted to violence when he was
He further argues that the violence and aggression associated
Agreeing with these authors argument, I too believe that violence in human beings is biological. According to Dale and Richard, there are a few well-known painters, authors and anthropologists believed that “human evil was a naturally acquired thing.” This means
This do I drink to thee” (Shakespeare, 258-259). From this evidence, it can inferred that if Paris never wanted to marry her in the first place, she would have never thought so seriously about “killing herself” with the poison. A following reason Paris should be blamed for their deaths,mostly Romeo’s death, is because he caused Romeo to feel sympathy and guilt for murdering Tybalt, causing him to further agree to killing himself. In “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet”, “That murdered my love’s cousin—with which grief…must die” (Shakespeare,271). In this piece of text evidence, it is subtly revealed that Paris’ anger toward Romeo caused Romeo to feel more guilt and want to kill himself more than before.
After Juliet's fake death, Paris is grieving at her tomb when he hears Romeo. Thinking that Romeo has come to do "villainous shame to the dead bodies" (5.3.52-53), Paris confronts Romeo, willing to fight on behalf of the Capulet name. His actions make his filial piety obvious and demonstrate his loyalty to Juliet and the Capulet family. Romeo's behavior is a dramatic contrast, for he is overwhelmingly desperate to be buried next to Juliet, even though being buried in the family tomb was massively important to culture back then, for it displayed a sense of dignity and respect for your family, respect that Romeo lacks. He warns Paris to "tempt not a desp'rate man" (5.3.59) for he is willing to do anything to break into the Capulet tomb, even if it means risking the reputation of not only himself but his entire family.
Violence promotes more violence. From violence comes a lot of rage and madness knowing people's personal rights are being abused. “Infants were tossed into the air and used as targets for machine guns,” (Wiesel 6). When the Germans would kill them brutally the Jews would get so angered. Michael brown was unarmed when he was shot by a police officer, when it was said he was innocence, it
The play, Romeo and Juliet there is a connection that shows a lot of violence, no matter how much piece is shown that ends with defeat it. develops violence throughout the characters, conflict, and dialogue. For example, in the text Samson says “I’ve drawn my sort out sheath. Fight them I’ll back you up. This shows an example of violence in the text, because Samsung is saying that he willtake his sword out and help fight back only if it is needed to.
nurture argument comes up. I do not think the primary cause of violence is biological or genetic, and I believe the vast majority of males do not commit violent acts because they are capable of controlling their base instincts. Men are not violent beasts, or at the very least, most of them are not. As far as I know, nearly everyone gets violent and intrusive thoughts once in awhile, but most people can control them, they do not act upon those thoughts. This is what separates us from the psychopaths and murderers.
Violence can be small. It can be big. It can be something you see every day and it can be something that is hidden in plain sight. The one thing that we need to remember is that violence always has a repercussion.
One of Count Paris's primary extrinsic motivations is his desire to marry Juliet. As a wealthy and powerful nobleman, Paris sees Juliet as a desirable match that will increase his status
Moreover, violent is the act of one who has a habitual response pattern of reacting violently in specific conditions and shouldn’t simply consider the act of person acting on impulse. Generally the violent reactions effectively to receive positive and negative reinforcement by being violent to get what they wanted and avoided disagreeable situations. Toch (1969), Berkowitz (1970), and Zillman (1979, 1983) all recommend that many people become unable of considering the consequences of their violent acts when the moment experiencing the powerful emotional reactions. To the point of cognitive processing, high arousal inhibits were reason make they not think

Romeo and Juliet make hormonal and impulsive decisions that show their immaturity. After Tybalt kills Mercutio, Romeo cannot control his emotions and feels the need for revenge. He says, “Alive in triumph, and Mercutio slain! Away to heaven, respective lenity, and fire-eyed fury be my conduct now”(3.1.127-129). Part of being mature is the ability to control strong emotions, and here Romeo tells us that he is letting his fury guide his actions.
When their pride is challenged, Romeo becomes somewhat selfish from a previous altruistic view, whereas Paris experiences the exact opposite in the moments leading up to his death. Secondly, when their love is challenged, Romeo gives off true love for his wife, while Paris only cares for her beauty and marital functions. But when she dies, Romeo loves her too much to think correctly and ends up killing himself, and Paris reveals his true feelings for Juliet when alone at her tomb. Lastly when their will to live is challenged, Paris and Romeo view life as monotonous and with little to no purpose, but Romeo finds his life purpose in meeting and being with Juliet, leading to a loss of meaning when she dies. Paris, however, continues to find meaning in praying and visiting her tomb to grieve and release his condolences to her.
He makes decisions based on emotion, while Paris doesn’t express much emotion at all. Romeo meets Juliet at her bedroom window and speaks to her in poetry. He treats Juliet as his equal in the relationship. Paris seems to consider Juliet more like a possession, and
Esbensin, Peterson, Taylor and Freng (2010) implies that “ young people who have committed serious violent offenses have the highest level of impulsive and risk-seeking tendencies.” Moreover, extreme violent criminal activity being performed in front of youth increases the risk of them performing acts of extreme violence themselves. Because youth see those acts as acceptable so committng those violent activities make youths to become ruthless. Smith and Green (2007) assert that violent activities becoming ruthless and the perpetrators even more ruthless.
