Violence is a response to fear, and fear is a response to our interpretations of perception.
Should our interpretations of perception be in error, then both the fear and the violence it creates are also in error.
Sadly we can never admit this so the dance goes on and on.

Yes, but 'violence' is also something of a human perspective. Human violence is an outgrowth of our survival instinct and group sociology.
We are conditioned to survive on a genetic level and as our society becomes more compact and competitive those drives manifest in powerful and dangerous ways. Mixing with our rationale, psychology and sociological identity our instincts manifest as behavior ranging from simple disputes to all out war.
Also consider that we are still a very young species and growth takes time and often takes many unwieldy turns. We are still learning. If we survive the learning curve we will become a truly amazing people.
Mostly the universe is about change, with matter and energy interacting in countless ways as things both develop and stabilize on various scales. What we see as 'violent', the end of a star, a volcano, a tsunami, are just natural processes that need to be understood (and in most cases avoided).

Now, let's discuss the question. People need resources - food, shelter, partners. If they are denied those things - or are convinced they have less than they need through advertising - then some will turn to force to get want they want.

Yes, it is.
Human beings are still animals, as much as the religious like to claim otherwise. We're territorial and cruel about pretty much everything just like other animals. We just have tools and are more aware of what we do at a fundamental level.
if you think about it, whoever created organized religion was a genius. They terrified people into submission to try to get us to stop hurting each other.
The problem is that it didn't work. We still hurt each other, but this time it's in the name of our religions.
Its why I say that its much more accurate to say that society determines our morals instead of religion. Because it actually does.
Violence is a part of the natural human condition. Nature will always win out in the end.
Its part of being human.
But we're also creatures that can feel love and caring and like living peaceful lives. We just have an extremely difficult time overcoming the animal instincts we have.
Just look at the world. Selfish human desire controls everything we do.

it truly is a superb question. Given the very lengthy human historic past of conflict and conflict, it will be really straightforward to say sure. yet i do not imagine that that's the full answer. i imagine it would want to supply human beings, even spectators an adrenaline rush. Which all of us recognize can experience like a exceptionally effective severe, which will develop into addictive, which finally ends up in additional desirable violence. each and each and every time wanting more desirable to get the severe. It also comes from our being remoted from the traumas and horrors of conflict. i imagine if maximum individuals talked with reference to the genuine problem, that that they had be a lot less in all probability to seek it out in leisure. you spot an same style of problem interior the Roman Empire. Rome on the middle of the Empire exceptionally a lot talked about stability and under no circumstances many conflicts. yet there have been complications. So the Emperor builds the Coliseum to provide entertainments for the individuals to distract them. the basically distinction from that and what takes position at present is that the fighters can stay after a strive against. i imagine violence might want to be in our natures, regardless of the indisputable fact that it's not the sum complete of it, and under no circumstances even the magnificent section. regardless of the indisputable fact that it really is there and to disclaim it will be folly. i actual choose peace myself.

Yes, by nature humans are violent. Just go sit in a preschool with the two year olds and watch the mayhem. Common problems are hitting, biting, scratching and kicking.
Humans are not inwardly good by any stretch of the imagination.

Humans wouldn't go to war if they didn't like it! Yes, humans are violent by nature, read up on your history! Mostly the violence is generated by greed and religion is used as a reason to go to war.

i would disagree there...
birth is beautiful , i cant see anything violent at all in it
and if sex is violent , then something is wrong somewhere with that .. it also should be beautiful
perhaps it is perception ?
what one sees as violent , another sees as wonderful
maybe we just all need to alter our perception somewhat
