Some researchers say that violence is like a cycle, that is to say, someone who is a victimof violence is more likely to commit acts of violence later. Do you think this is true? Ifso, how can you help to interrupt the cycle of violence?13. Do you think that men have a role to play in preventing violence against women?Explain.14. What have you learned in this activity to help overcome violence? Have you learnedanything that can be applied in your own life and relationships?ConclusionToo many young men and women have experienced or witnessed violence at some point intheir lives, often at the hands of men. It is commonly assumed that violence is a “natural” or“normal” part of being a man. However, violence is a learned behaviour – boys and men areoften raised to think violence is an acceptable means of maintaining control, particularly overwomen, resolving conflicts, and/or expressing anger. And just as violence is learned, it can beunlearned and prevented. In this way, it is the responsibility of all individuals, women and men,to strive to raise boys and men, as well as girls and women, to understand how violence, be itmen’s violence against women, women’s violence against men or a parent’s use of violenceagainst a child, prevents individuals from building positive and loving relationships. (CAREInternational, 2011.)Does the media teach boys to be violent?Some studies have shown that watching violent scenes in media can be linked to execution ofviolence but causal links are not completely clear. Watching violence on television or in movietheatres probably does not “cause” violence in boys but can lead to some boys’ impressions –and our general impression as society – that violence by men is normal or even cool. Whatabout girls? Do they equally easy manifest anger? (CARE International, 2016.)37
