There are varied factors that necessitates violence and if it's properly handled it would go a long way to reduce it. Violence has taken many people to their grave while others are still confused till today as a result of one violence or the other. There are different types of violence we have today and I would like to discuss few of them and later share some causes of violence and how to come of it.

Types of violence

• Emotional violence: It's a psychological form of violence that affects someone or harm an individual as a result of abuse, intimidation or any form of harassment. The impact of this kind of violence could result to madness, depression or emotional unbalanced. For instance verbal abuse has caused some cracks in relationships today. It's expedient that one controls his or her mouth. The Bible says the power of life and death lies in the tongue. It can construct and scatter. Words shouldn't be used carelessly rather choice of words are important.
• Another type of violence I would like to share is the sexual violence. This occurs as a result of rape or sexual assault. Any sex committed without the consent of the partner leads to sexual violence. There are many ladies I know that have been harassed sexually. Recently I was called upon for a case of a lady and a lecturer. He demanded to sleep with before she passed his course. This is a typical example of sexual violence. As I type this, she has some carry over to take however our reverend intervene and picked up the case. I don't know how far now.
• The last category or type of violence I would like to share is Physical violence. This kind of violence occurs when one is harmed or injured. Just last week, the village head of my community was stabbed with a merchant by certain individual. It almost resulted to communal clash between the villagers and such person.

What causes violence

Violence could caused by caused by individuals, culture, unemployment,lack of education, mental health, trauma, poverty etc. there are so many factors that can cause violence.

My suggestion or way out of violence.

There are various ways which we can come out of violence.
Let there be good policies by the government that would protect lives and properties. There should be law that could help to curtail the rate of molestation and manipulation by individuals.
Educating individual and the society about the effects of violence would help to prevent it.
Community should be engaged in unity talks and to build cordial relationships which would foster peace and unity.

Conclusion

Violence can cause a lot of bankruptcy and can make bring lots of disasters like poverty etc.
Movies that we watch can instigate violence therefore a band or restriction could be placed on certain violent provoking movies. This would also curb the issue of violence in the society.
