Is Violence ever good?

Non violent and self sacraficing deeds are more powerful and less destructive to the world as a whole. However humans have naturalized violence and they see it as the primary form of resistance. Violence is also the instinctual path that animals resorted to. I would only condone violence if there is no other way to counter another violent force. Sometimes people are only perceptive of violence, especially in immediate situations. If people were to become aware of the sucess of non violent protest and self sacrafice less violence would be iniated and perpetuated. If women played a different role in societies across the world I believe that violence would be much less common.
