Can ideology justify the use of violence?
The world is composed by different opinions and thoughts. Over the past centuries, this concept has been taking place and imposed in society. We are seven billion people in this planet and it is impossible to agree with everyone on everything.
Furthermore, human beings are very selfish and don't care much about the opinion or thoughts of others. Unfortunately, wars are occurring in 2014. Countries like Palestina and Israel are fighting for territorial issues and in away religious beliefs. This war not only affects the soldiers who are fighting but also innocent families Moreover families are being separated and you will find little children holding a weapon instead of a book.
Nor cultural , religious or social differences can justify the use of violence. Violence, itself is a dark word. It is not acceptable that , in 2014, thousands of people fought. We are supposed to evolve but apparently we haven't learned anything.
To sum up I believe that violence is in no case justified, neither in religious nor in cultural issues. It should be prohibited. I am convinced that there are many other ways of reaching an agreement.
