Notes
The practice of violence, like all action, changes the world, but the most probable change is to a more violent world.[1]
No one engaged in thought about history and politics can remain unaware of the enormous role violence has always played in human affairs, and it is at first glance rather surprising that violence has been singled out so seldom for special consideration.[2]
Arendt argues violence is distinguished from power, force, authority by its instrumental character. She sees violence and war-making as the "principal structuring force in society," and that it plays a key role in maintaining The System. [3] She also analyzes the violence in the service of revolution, or in the interests of more narrow groups interests.
Violence is a component of Toxic Socialization. Violence can be used to force compliance and also to achieve political goals. See for example the work of Hanna Arendt [4][5]
Violence may be physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual.
- physical violence: hitting, biting, corporal punishment, prenatal exposure to drugs. sexual abuse: sexual contact or non-contact, sexual interference (Behl, Conyngham, & May, 2003)
- psychological violence: abuse that impairs the mental life of the individual, including impairment of intelligence, memory, perception, attention, imagination, and moral development (O'Hagan, 1995).
- emotional violence: o abuse that impairs/damages the emotional life of the individual, including their ability to properly regulate emotions, and to take responsibility, be confident, be open to others when appropriate, maintain appropriate boundaries, and trust. Emotional abuse includes verbal abuse, excessive demands, excessively harsh judgments, and other abuse patterns that impact the child’s ability to feel happy and healthy in their own skin (O'Hagan, 1995).
- spiritual violence:
Violence is always disjunctive and harmful, to both the victim and the perpetrator.
Full human development, Healing and Connection, requires the cessation of all forms of violence and the re-establishment of healthy, respectful, and nurturing spaces.
