In contemporary America we have to acknowledge that violence is a form of communication, whether it’s rape, domestic violence, bullying or murder. TV and the movies disguise violence as entertainment and show us how to use this language. Guns are accessible to 5-year-olds to kill themselves and to mass murderers in any form and quantity they want.
Violence is glorified in football, boxing and mixed martial arts. Speak tough not speak compassion. And women are beginning to take on these roles. We’ve become numbed to this language of violence. But look around you and listen, and you will see how prevalent it is.
It’s the America we have and the America we all must take responsibility for.
