Why is violence good?

Answer 1

Violence is not always bad. Nor is it always good. Violence is one of those things that is always dependent on the situation in which it is being applied. For example, members of the police and the military are taught to use violence to stop criminals and vicious terrorist organizations all over the world. Those situations are perfectly appropriate and healthy for using violence. Martial Arts students are also taught to use violent means to defend both themselves and others from a person who wishes to hurt them, their friends, their family, or other innocent persons. All of these mentioned situations demonstrate that those who would use violence to harm others can only be effectively stopped through violence as well. Talking and negotiation will solve nothing before they are stopped. Hitler was stopped through an insane amount of violence. Necessary, healthy, applied violence. That is why violence can be a good thing in specific situations.

Answer 2

Well it depends if it is self defense then try to solve the problem without it but if it comes to death or life, then of course. Violence just to damage and hurt some one for no reason is unacceptable and ridiculous.

Answer 3

Violence is good or rather not bad when there is no real harm such as in a computer game.

When true violence is good it's also bad. It is possible to do wrong without violence as we conceive of it. In a society with not violence at all you can still find great evil.

In some cases for someone to defend themselves from harm even if it's not from violence they may be left with violence as the option option. This is where it's good but also still bad overall.

The same as if someone uses violence against another and the other must then use violence to defend themselves. You would call the violence of the defender good but it is not good that it is good. It is bad that the first person attacked.
