Is Society Becoming Less Violent In the article “Violence Vanquished”, by Steven Pinker, the author succeeded in convincing the reader that the violence had been dramatically reduced by effective use of statistical data and multiple authoritative sources. He effectively informs readers of decline of human violence violent age in his article "Violence Vanquished", by building ethos and credibility to provide a solid fact and a striking sign of the appeal. Steven Pink reached his thesis "Violence Vanquished" to persuade readers that violence is more common in the past than by effective use of ethos, allusion, and precise wording of the past. Steven Pink pointed out in his article "the violence was defeated" and the goal is to prove that the violence has been reduced over time. His reason is by using the logo, the specific statistical data, and cited the authorities effectively. In his article "Violence Vanquished," Steven Pink identified the attraction of violence, although it may not be gone, and also decreased significantly with time to inform the reader. In the " Violence Vanquished," Steven Pinker noticed that violence has drastically declined in the recent readers, and through the effective use of identification and statistical evidence, he show the world how to build a more peaceful place today. This article is to inform the reader that the human is still fierce, but by the creation of laws and restrictions by the community, we have a positive attitude. He employs devices including parallel, allusion, and statistical data to support his claims. In his article "Violence Vanquished," Steven Pinker readers told us that today witnessed violence is very ferocious dozens of years in the past, when people were brutally killed almost to extinction is decline. Through the use of pathos and imagery, he created a seamless representation and helps to support his subject status. Steven Pinker show us the goal is to express, even human nature still violent and civilized production of legal, regulations and ethical inhibit our real aggression. He convincingly through the effective use of historical evidence and pathos and logos appeal to support his idea of rhetoric. I think he may have failed to include one factor that is all-important to the human species. That factor has to do with the inverse proportionality of personal empathy to a personal sense of vigor. An individual's sense of vigor, or conversely, of frailty, generally translates to the microbiological constitution. The information in Pinker's report is all fairly easy to come by. So, like the title of that report, the picture that that information paints is easily seen as singularly encouraging to the human species.
In the article “Defusing Violence” by Annette John-Hall, the author against about using video games to reduce violence. I think this argument is contradictory because I have heard all my life, whether it is in the news article, video games increase the possibility of individuals will learn from the violent video games, repeating it in real life. Annette John-Hall writes this article while she checked in the streets of Philadelphia and the game has such a sharp contrast. Although ten years ago, these games were considered "hot spots", that's not the case. Sometimes, these games are the only thing that can stop people from crime. Curtis explains that the game is a kind of method to help him out. His favorite game street fighter is "treatment" one day and he may get "crazy" at school after. Another avid game player points out those video games are the end of violence, once the game is over. Any beef you keep on the screen. These cases show that the game is actually helpful to prevent violence, rather than creating it. The path and road video games can also open up new people. Although video games are seen as a waste of time and lead to a barrier, this is not the case with Eric small, the residents of Philadelphia. He took his love for video games and turned it into a career, hosting games, people from all over the world. Jayson "traveled far in Japan to promote his game", he may never be able to go to the place without professional video games. In the end, I think John Hall concluded her article has a very good question. Although video games are often seen as a way of being antisocial, sometimes it is not always the case. With the competition of small video game events meet, and deal with new people, this statement shows the difference between the street and the game center. Brothers, they see hanging on the street corner is not getting it. They did not get to meet new people or develop a life of their lives; they have no chance to change their way which is why they become the target of real violence.
