However other theories uphold the belief that individuals contain a natural inclination to conform to rules and order, which requires motivation therefore they believe that violence is a result of abnormal deviant urges (Barak, 2003). .
Violence is often deemed negative, however violence can contain positivity, and according to Schinkel (2010) violence must also have a positive constructive component. Schinkel believes that violence undertakes beneficial ends, rather than enacting on solely destructive urges. It is believed that whilst carrying out violence the individual, animal or symbol "reduces" an object, and negates some aspects of its being (Jackson-Jacobs, 2010).
Other forms of violence such as structural violence include military and state violence, whose aim is to protect the general public from harm. Structural violence refers to an orderly method in which social structures either harm or to somewhat disadvantage individuals. Structural violence is mainly subtle, and somewhat invisible and most frequently not aimed at only one specific person to be held responsible. A vast amount of material has been written about structural violence, and most particularly by Dr Paul Farmer, he gave his own example of summarising structural violence. He believes that structural violence is a certain way of describing arrangements that are made within society that place people and populations in harm's way. He states that these arrangements are named a structural mainly because they are rooted within the political and economic body of the world, and they are violent as they cause injury to individuals. Farmer also stated that culture or pure individual will is to blame, but rather the processes and the powers that conspire to constrain individual agency. "Structural violence is visited upon all of those whose social status denies them access to the fruits of scientific and social progress" (Farmer, 2001).
