  • Our citizens want to live in peace, but each year many thousands of them become the victims of violence.
  • Identifying violence as a public health issue is a relatively new idea.
  • To be sure, those agents of public safety and justice have served us well. But when we ask them to concentrate more on the prevention of violence and to provide additional services for victims, we may begin to burden the criminal justice system beyond reason.

    The nation's rate of abuse and violence rises each day while the nation itself generally wants peace.

    Great article, it's a little unclear what it's connection with civil rights. But it is true there is so much violence to people that can't defend themselves, and we need to protect those people.

    The first thing that came to my mind when I read "Civil Rights Movement" in the title of the article was some kind of violent movement. As I started to read the article, I disagreed with the thesis. However, as I keep reading I started to agree more. There is not one specific definition of what a cilil rights movement consists of. A civil rights movement does not necessarily include violence. I think part of what America has to do to help get rid of the problem of racial discrimination has to be included in the basic education of the newer generations. Kids get taught by society about racism or other kinds of discrimination. I think a key factor for this issue is educating the upcoming generations about this issue and respect. A civil rights movement will not change the country from one day to another. However, it can bring awareness, again, to society. It will take time to improve in this issue. I do think that a major key to the solution of this issue is awareness and education to be taught to our youth and future generations. Because they are the future of America.
