Cause and Effect of Gun Violence in America

INTRODUCTION
Cultural and social problems attributed to gun violence have been a prevailing phenomenon for years. In a society where one could be fragile to the effects of cultural crackdowns and psychological breakdowns, guns have been a prevalent tool in addressing violent actions.

This is best illustrated in the series of school shooting tragedies that have gripped the whole nation and the world in fear for their safety and the saddening reality of the disintegration of society.

We all have memories from our childhood where we pretended to be a good guy and captured the bad guy to prevent him from wrecking evil on the world. Modern children also engage ...

Sure there are remote places that still abide the traditional values of it, but the grand majority does not. As a product of recycled messages and tangled motivation, I can only explain why I cannot have any permanent tattoos.
