Abstract

Although violence is something should be abandoned in opinion of numerous democratic academics in present day. However black academician likes Frantz Fanon makes different way by creating novel idea that violence is a necessary factor for established democratic society. The question is that what does Fanon mean by violence? Why does he think violence is necessary or good? For Hannah Arendt she stays opposition. Arendt denies the existence of violence and she states that the nature of new societies is affected by the nature of actions that bring them into being, not bring them into dangerous like Fanon activities. This concept and activities of Fanon it would be very wrong. By these different ideas contribute to this article. The article aims to illustrate the concept of both academics on responsive against violence in humanity experience.
