Answer 1

1, Fight clubs are usually associated with aggression and violence which has a high degree of causing aggression to the spectators. Not only this, but there are also unintended consequences of fight clubs such as betting money, drugs and easy money for those who want to fight. Having a fight club can also bring other activities which can harm the neighbourhood such as nightlife and noises. Therefore, having a fight club is not a good strategy for combating violence.

2. There are many limits to this as mentioned above. One main limit is the psychological effect it produces on the spectators. People who watch it are more likely to become aggressive in their behaviours. The theory of observational learning suggests that people can learn through watching others and the information retained which is then replicated in the future. There are a number of prevention strategies of violence in the neighbourhood such as setting up wellness clubs and happiness clubs. People should be involved in games which are fun in nature and that involves interaction, coordination and mutual understanding of each other, By only making the people come together, violence can be combated,
