As compared to the political environment five to ten years ago, the effect and image of violence have changed. There is no doubt that countries use violence as a political weapon to create global pressure. With the passage of time, countries have started to adopt a very hostile approach towards their close and distant neighbors. Dominant countries have introduced biased policies to get power enriched. Racism is something that has increased at a rapid rate and people are being differentiated on the basis of how they look and where they belong. The use of violence in the form of a political weapon has not affected the common man only. A lot of leaders who wanted to make the world a better place have fallen prey to this problem. The great Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi is a key example of a person who got affected by this political weapon.

Has the use of violence as a political weapon increased at a very fast pace? The answer to this question is yes. The reason is very simple. The race between different global nations to emerge as the superpower has become more competitive and hostile. A lot of countries have used violence as a political weapon thinking that it would generate positive results.  For a small time span, this strategy has proven to be fruitful but in the long run, it has proven to be a complete failure. Violence as a political weapon has harmed a lot of countries and adversely affected global peace.

Why has the political use of violence been encouraged so much? This is simply because every country wants to emerge as the most powerful entity on the face of the earth. To attain this result, countries implement the political use of violence. It is a historical fact that violence has never produced positive results for any country. Wars have always affected the economy of a lot of countries in an adverse manner but governments have failed to understand this problem.  Does the political use of violence equally affect everyone? The answer to this question is no. The severity varies from one person to the other. For instance, a war adversely affects the people who are living in that country. The economy of the country suffers in a great manner. However, the media related people who generate news do not face any problem. Instead, they produce higher profit volumes as war-related news is watched by a large percentage of people. Violence has never produced benefits for ordinary humans. It just acts as a profitable game for power brokers like national governments and strong political bodies.
