Cruel ways of inflicting suffering may involve violence, but violence is not necessary for an act to be cruel. For example, if another person is drowning and begging for help, and you can help but you merely watch with disinterested amusement or pleasure, you are being cruel — not violent.

Cruelty usually carries connotations of supremacy over a submissive or weaker force.

Cruelty is often used in the regards to the treatment of animals, children, and prisoners. See: punishment, draconian, and cruel and unusual punishment. When cruelty to animals is discussed, it often refers to unnecessary suffering.

According to Friedrich Nietzsche, almost all higher culture comes from the spiritualization of cruelty.
