To begin this essay, the definition of violence must be clear. Violence is the use of physical force to injure people or property. Violence may cause physical pain to those who experience it directly, as well as emotional distress to those who either experience or witness it. Individuals, families, schools, workplaces, communities, society, and the environment all are harmed by violence.
Violence is actually a very serious situation that can be seen all around the world. Violence includes:
•Physical (slapping,hitting, choking...)
•Sexual (rape, harassment...)
•Emotional (controlling behaviour)
•Economic (controlling finances)
•Stalking (repeated following, watching)
The statements mentioned before are problems that people have to face in their everyday life. Not only women and children face violence, men do too.
Many cases have been reported of sexual assaultment and one of those many cases was about a girl named Anita Lorraine Cobby. She was a 26 year old Australian nurse and beauty pageant winner who was kidnapped, sexually assaulted and then murdered while walking home after dining out with 2 of her hospital colleagues. Investigations led to the arrest of five men who were later convicted of her abduction, rape and murder.
Another case that has to do with man violence was when Lionel Richie’s ex-wife, Brenda Harvey, was arrested for spousal abuse in 1988 for besting Richie after catching him in bed with another woman.
The 2012 Delhi Gang Rape case involved a rape and fatal assault that occurred on 16 December 2012 in Munirka. The incident took place when a 23-year-old female, Jyoti Singh Pandey,was beaten, gang raped,, and tortured in a private bus in which she was traveling with her friend. There were six others in the bus, including the driver, all of whom raped the woman and beat her friend. Eleven days after the assault, she was transferred to a hospital in Singapore for emergency treatment but died from her injuries two days later.[
These 3 cases mentioned all happened in different countries.
Now child abuse, or child maltreatment is physical, sexual, or psychological maltreatment or neglect of a child or children, especially by a parent or other caregiver. Some parents take advantage of their children and change their minds into doing and obeying things that are not right at all. So do babysitters, they use physical violence on the child if they don’t do what they are told. There have been many cases filed of children abuse but not as much as women abuse since more men use violence on their partners than parents would on their own children. Some children are afraid to speak out when violence is being committed on them because they are afraid they’d make things worse, or sometimes they don’t know what to do about it and are threatened so they don’t speak up.
Violence is not nothing, it is a big deal since many people are dying from it all around the world. People should start doing something about it, or if they get to see any act of violence, they should call the police at least because if something happens to the victim, the person would feel guilty for not doing anything about it.

Elections in Colombia
Elections in Colombia are regulated and controlled by the National Electoral Council which also gives information on elections and election results in for the politics of Colombia. Colombia elects on national level a Head of state - the president - and a legislature. The president is elected for a four-year term by the people. The Congress' has two chambers. The House of Representatives and The Senate of the Republic
The violence that occurred between 1946 and 1964 resulted in over 200,000 deaths. An estimated one million people were displaced from their rural homes. Guerrilla movements arose from the anarchy to fully establish themselves in the 1960s and still trouble Colombia to this day. Historically, the two mainstream parties, the Conservatives and the Liberals, had dominated Colombian politics from the 19th century onwards, both enjoying large periods in power. These periods of hegemony were more partisan than personal because politics was characterized by voter affiliation to either party, based on social and economic class, regardless of who led them. However, after 1946, traditional party competition had broken down in Colombia. Mariano Ospina Pérez, the newly elected president, and his Conservative party government used the police and the army to repress the Liberal party. The Liberals then responded by arming peasants to fight back against the government. This created pressures within civil and political society, and violence began on a small scale.
In colombia, the citizens have the right to vote and make a very important decision that may provide for our country as well as affect it, these decisions can be made by people from the age of 18. It is supposedly an obligation for all citizens to vote, but there are still many people who don’t do so because of their personal reasons. Some people don’t vote because they simply don’t like to get involved in any type of politics or because they don’t have the time to do so.
The votes this year are a bit complex and troubling because the possible candidates for the presidency are candidates from the F.A.R.C (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) which was a guerrilla movement involved in continuing Colombian armed conflict since 1964. It was known to employ a variety of military tactics in addition to more unconventional methods, including terrorism. They are a subversive guerrilla group which signed peace agreements last year and they did so with the intentions for people to allow them to reach the government. People were furious and they were very unhappy because they do not consider that the people who were in the army, who killed major quantities of people, who are drug traffickers and Organ traffickers as well, should not reach that power and should not be on the votes.
I believe that the political election for presidency has many incorrect and suspicious things because how is it possible for the voting cards for a winning candidate be done or run out? An election like this is very important because it defines the future of our country and citizens should be the only ones with the right to vote. Every person has their own opinion about each candidate at the end, so there is no reason to cheat if its the majority of the country who is making the choice.
