During the Edwardian era, also known as La Belle Epoque, which means the beautiful epoch, was a time of disagreeable factors such as pessimism. However, the era also had some agreeable characteristics such as optimism, beauty and hopefulness. Some of the negative aspects for this era came partly from the fact that Britain was such a strong and influential country.
The main, undeniable reason for the idea of pro-violence was for protection of the British colonies against other “anti-Britain” countries. Alliances between multiple countries create instability and uneasiness for everyone. Not only did this violence morality come come from wanting be safe and protected, but it was also a result of the wealthy society of Britain and its colonies’ love for their country. Patriotism can be thought of as pride to one’s own nation which thus, can empower negativities such as violence and all the reactions that lead to it. Violence as retribution is immoral when one thrives on hatred or evil intentions rather than peaceful and positive results. It starts to get out of hand when violence is the answer for just about everything one does. War does not seem to further benefit or disprove the fact that violence is immoral. War is usually a long-term and massive battle amongst two opposing sides for a certain goal whether it be reasonable or unreasonable.
