CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

This study investigated the relationship between the rules and the students. The

intervening issue was the attitude that both teachers and students have towards the general

concepts of discipline. Students adherence to discipline is affected by the perception they have.

This regards as to whether they will be punished by their teachers or any other consequences that

might follow after incidents of discipline. Students may also adhere to set rules and regulations

depending on how they have been brought by their parents as well as the social environment of

their upbringing.

Many have tried to blame violent video games that children play, music with suggestive

and sensitive lyrics, and movies desensitizing children to violence. However, many critics of this

perspective suggest that it is not the games but the effect of having a parent that never talked

about the content of these media sources that can affect teens.

Another popular theory on what causes school violence is intolerance. In a world with so

many different perspectives coming together, like different races, different sexual orientations

and different nationalities, it can be difficult to feel like you fit in. It can be harder to find your

place if everyone around you makes fun of you for the qualities which make you different. The

intolerance that many face may contribute to school violence. Critics of this idea highlight that

every teen faces intolerance on some level and that teens who "break" must be experiencing

something different.
 Critics of this perspective highlight how prior generations did not have the same taboo of

topics like smoking and would often become involved in these behaviors at an early age. To

these critics, little has changed over the years.

Effects of School Violence

While it is easy to speculate about what the primary causes of school violence are, the

effects of school violence are rather simple to see. Unfortunately, another visible effect is the

loss of lives as a result of school violence.

Another effect of school violence is the shift that it brings to the educational process.

Teachers are forced to be on the lookout for troubled students, rather than focusing on teaching

alone. In some schools, teens may not be able to get as much of an education because educators

need to be focused on keeping teens safe.

No one will ever know the exact reason as to what causes more extreme cases of school

violence. However, no matter the expert, one thing everyone can agree on is that violence in

schools need to stop. Rather than focusing on what is behind violence in schools or what can

happen as a result of it, we need to become focused on preventing school violence.
