Unbearable circumstance gives violence as a chance to escape from it, it is a defence method in all living things,- some time violence used to force the. other to give up their right. even the god use it , the government use it- but no one accept the violence as good one. this is one of the mystery for a lay man.

Answer 4

Violence is the nature of all living things. All living things, from aomeba to elephants, destroy other living things (aka are violent) to survive. They all destroy for food, territory, and/or procreation. Plants do it, animals do it, even single-cell organisms, viruses, and bacteria do it.

Man is doing the same thing as every other living thing. Violence is not just part of man's nature, it's a defining characteristic of all life.

Answer 5

I think so, because whether we like it or not, it's a part of our daily lives. We see it on the news, we enjoy watching violent movies especially cartoons that have violent images like Tom and Jerry, or when we see a fight where we deeply want someone to get fu**ed up whether we know them as anice guy or not. When we see ourselves get into situations like fights we tend to bring out the most of us whether we know what we're doing or not. If a little four year boy had his toys taken away from another little boy, chances are that he will probably cry or he will hit him or both. So yes I think it is second nature.

Answer 6

Yes. We are the nastiest branch of a family of animals known for cruelty to their members. We killed off all competitors. On the other hand our minds make us more than our base nature and we are also the most benevolent and caring of all species. Its an amazing dichotomy of characteristics.

Only nature, although some of its forms looks like a wolf in sheepskin

Answer 10

not at all. if you have read the human history, primitive man when had his belly full, used to be very calm and relaxing. but when hungry, he never used to be violent but used to be aggressive in search of food. violent nature is the result of present style of living!
