The reading in this week named "Empire of Death and the Plague of Civic Violence", written by Darrell Y. Hamamoto, is very impressive, because it is my first time to read about some kinds of murders with different events of killing that are so scaring, serial murder, mass murder, and race murder. Like author mentioned in the reading, they all can be charged by historical roots. The murders expressed their anger about society by killing people. Their minds are crazy and abnormal to push them raise interpersonal violence.
History is full of discriminations and unfairness for almost everybody, gradually it boosts human’s psychological problem. It not only happens in the US. End of last century, around 1970-1980, Philippines motived “massacre” to kill the Chinese who bought money, labors and made great economic improvement in Philippines. The reason just is the local people thought Chinese people grabbed their money. In fact, it is similar with World War II, when Hitler created concentration camp in order to ruin the all Jewry. Back to our class, after several ten years, the situation of Hmong people doesn't change better. Just imagine, there may have people who cannot keep salience and break out with violence to killing others. However, we take one more imagination, if our historical events dealt with the differences between genders, races, social ranks and groups peacefully, tolerated and appreciated distinctiveness, and made laws or policies, this kind of interpersonal violence will decrease in following generations. Like Ressler said, the murders woefully lacking in explanatory force, even though we know where the violence comes from.
With the development of world, new discriminations and unfair things raise in more interconnected and complex society. Using which proper method to advocate rights is a deep consideration.
Question: does there are policy or law can give a force to prevent?
