Violence in the city



It is known that the concept of violence has been present in society since ancient times. There are proven evidences that reveal how Romans emperors used to be delighted by the way in which several people lost their lives in unequal fights. It is widely recognised that ancient emperors set up fights which involved men against beasts. Currently, this kind of battle is still in force. Many people may say that they live in a constant fear of having a member of their family murdered or kidnapped. What is more parents are increasingly concerned about the safety of their children at school.

To start with, there is a vast amount of people who back up the view that there are not many differences between ancient times and modern ones. It is said that big cities have one of the highest death rates owing to criminal activities. As a consequence, children no longer play outside home but shut themselves away in their rooms in order to avoid any case of kidnapping, or even worse murder.
A second area to take into consideration is the safety of children at school which seems to be a controversial issue to deal with. News show day after day that little students some of them age eleven to thirteen years old usually carry handguns hidden in their bags. In some cases these reckless actions bring about serious mental disorders for the child who has been threatened by a gun or in some cases it can only bring about death.

Taking both sides of the argument into consideration, it could be claimed that cities have to cope up with different kinds of irrational problems which range from a simple case of robbery to snatch the lives of others just for fun. However, big cities can not be blamed for these criminal actions but the government should take a part in this struggle in order to provide citizens with guarantees to live at least in harmony.
