Violence

Violence is defined by the World Health Organization as "the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation", although the group acknowledges that the inclusion of "the use of power" in its definition expands on the conventional meaning of the word. This definition involves intentionality with the committing of the act itself, irrespective of the outcome it produces. However, generally, anything that is excited in an injurious or damaging way may be described as violent even if not meant to be violence (by a person and against a person).

The most prevalent cause of death in interpersonal violence is assault with a firearm (180,000), followed by a sharp object (114,000). Other means contribute to another 110,000 deaths.

Violence in many forms is preventable. There is a strong relationship between levels of violence and modifiable factors such as concentrated poverty, income and gender inequality, the harmful use of alcohol, and the absence of safe, stable, and nurturing relationships between children and parents. Strategies addressing the underlying causes of violence can be effective in preventing violence.

Violence (role-playing game)

Violence: The Role-Playing Game of Egregious and Repulsive Bloodshed is a short, 32-page role-playing game written by Greg Costikyan under the pseudonym "Designer X" and published by Hogshead Publishing in 1999 as part of its New Style line of games.

Gameplay

Violence is a parody of conventional dungeon-bashing games, set in a contemporary metropolis where player characters dash from room to room killing the occupants and stealing their belongings. In a style reminiscent of Mad, it is relentlessly user-hostile, taking time out to insult the reader wherever possible (it opens with the words, "Welcome to Violence, you degraded turd") and uses a system where the user can buy experience points for cash from the designer or publisher. Despite innovative game design and exhaustive lists of equipment and weapons (including both belt and orbital sanders), monster types and possible scenarios, it is largely and deliberately unplayable because of an exhaustive rule-set. The rule-set provides information on a range of things related to killing. Weapons, combat styles, and the like are intricately detailed, considering the short length of the volume. Violence is a rant against the traditional styles of Dungeons & Dragons, MMORPGs, and the Grand Theft Auto series, written to simultaneously annoy, enrage and challenge the reader. As a game, it is of little value, but is useful as an insight into the mindset of its author and an indictment of an endemic style of role-playing.

Violence (book)

Violence, or Violence: Six sideways reflections is a book written by the Slovenian intellectual and cultural critic Slavoj Žižek that addresses the role of violence within modern society, approaching it in terms of Objective and Subjective violence. He analyses the violence in all forms. He made a difference between "Objective" and "Subjective" violence. Objective violence is that which is directly and evident, the wars, the repression, etc. And in the other hand, the subjective violence is the violence ejerced by capitalism, which is much more brutal, because it is social, it is present since we born and until we die. One type of violence is easily detected (objective) and the other it is not, that's why the subjective violence is much more powerful, brutal and effective.

T.D.S. (Take It As You Will)

by: Violence

The needing of needles, prick my skin
Cold blood is boiling, start the binge
Aggressive injection, the track marks run
Intended supression, finale has begun
COLD DEATH - awaits me now
INFECT - dissect my brain devoured
I'm needing another shot to please
My poison my life-line, it drops me to my knees
INJECT
ADDICTION
Straight to my jugular vein
TO WITHDRAWAL
I CAN'T TAKE
I NEED MORE
Please shoot me up, numb the pain
No dimebags
No quaters
I'll take the gram
The heroin
Quick fix
A mainline slam
Speed ball
It's rolling
Turns all the time
Injesting
Infesting
It infiltrates my mind
QUICK PULSE
My heart can't take
POUNDING
Surrounding all my veins
I'm nauseous
And playing the basket case
Die slowly
Die painful
On my strung-out face
TO INJECT
ADDICTION
INFECTION
Straight to my jugular vein
TO WITHDRAWAL
I CAN'T TAKE
I NEED MORE
Please shoot me up, numb the pain
Hello world, I'm your residential drug pusher
You kids, they buy from me
Base of coke, a slam of seed
They know I've got the cure
Just a punk, I'm untouchable by the law
Court room catastrophe
A simple slap upon my wrist
And then they set me free
Body cold I pound away on his chest in fear
Empty lungs, a cardiac arrest is evidently clear
No one told me that these drugs I take would kill
They just front away and then send you the bill
Cold displeasured face
Look of pain, look of waste
I'e seen the damages done
Too many times I've witnessed, I've witnessed it run
Run through your veins alive
Feeding on your mind
Controlling you from inside
No longer with us now
Pusher's voice it calls you, cower now
Come with me child, child of fate
A shot to numb your feelings
Embrace this death, a quick passage
Your pulse hits the ceiling
No need for ties, no ties to life
The life you've left to linger
It was your choice
So hold your voice
