What is the cause of violence?

Adament belief,ignorance of social sense and greedness. Eeveryone think they are right and others are less inteligent/or wrong.Some think to eliminate others who belive in another faith will be dear to their god. Some think aquiring wealth in any means will remain with them forever. Remember one who belive,encourage or participate in violence will meet with the same tommorrow. With violence nobody have achived anything permanantly, rather made life more miserable.Look around us and we can see violent brought more violence., weather induvidal,community or a state.

Not exactly, you see humans aren't necessarily violent, however most are greedy. It comes down to things you need and things you want, the reason there is war is because countries want what other countries have, they will fight to obtain this certain item (not necessarily an item) and they will eventually get so caught up in the fight that they will eventually forget all about the item they were fighting for and in some cases they might even destroy what they were fighting for.

This isn't just the case in war but it is also the case in a fight between two people, both people want something (or they could also start the fight because they want to get back at the person for saying something offensive or something of the sort which is also selfish) and once they start fighting for this "thing" they will both get so caught up in the fight that they will both forget why they are fighting.

And if you think about it all fights start out this way.

I will answer with a question.

When a man is charged with murder, and goes to prison, the prison tries to rehabilitate him. What are they trying to change in him?

Any person can commit a murder. But most don't. When someone does, they are susceptible to doing so again because they know what they did. They know it can be done.

The function that makes humans violent is imagination. The ability to visualize an act, to imagine a scenario.

You can take the violence out of human beings, when you remove the creative intelligence.

Read the book "A conversation with the devil" its a book about human behavior specifically on our malicious side. Or why some humans resort to cruelty or violence. But one thing is for sure, violence is not a senseless action done just for the sake of being evil, there's actually a lot of sense into why soemone would choose violence over something more productive. just read the book :))

what distinguishes animals and humans is the conscience. perhaps some ppl have a problem - genetic or otherwise- that harms their conscience.

there is nothing about violence that is productive. ppl have allowed it to occur and have successes (land rights, etc.) but that is unethical - again, going back to our conscience.

on an individual basis, selfishness, ego, hatred, ignorance, inability to resolve conflict, tradition, role models, gender roles, norms all can contribute to violence.

it is unaccetable behavior - we just need to do a better job at prevention, justice, punishment and rehabilitation (b/c currently, our prisons do not try to rehabilitate - they just try to isolate prisoners from society)

There are many causes of Violence, and they can range from, religious, race, and Political differences to just simple, Ignorance, Anger / Rage, and blind Hatred for one person or another, for what ever reason...

Hatred in all it's forms and sub categories is the cause .

the basis of all the evils and goods in human nature is "ignorance"

Being angry at something or someone are the roots of all violence.

Both evil and goodness are here to stay.

Anger management problems.
