Because we have become desensitized.  The murders are more frequent but what is more frightening is the brutality and how young the murderers are.  I am amazed at the number of girls and women that committ the really violent crimes and how many of them are done for financial gain or because someone fell out of love with them....sickos!

Because they think that by raging wars they would succeed in their undertakings and defeat their opponents.But that's not true.One can overcome his or her shortcomings or rivals even by peace and non violence.

Sometimes people get so hurt, angry, and frustrated but can't (or aren't allowed to)express their feelings.  Especially kids whose parents are not very understanding or who don't accept emotional expression in the family or adults whose partners don't accept it.  When the person can't express feelings, especially angry ones, they have a build up of frustration and release it on themselves rather than on others.  It's not much different from people who abuse others accept that the self-harmer would probably not hurt anyone, including themselves, if they were allowed to or knew how to express simple feelings of anger, disagreement, or frustration to those around them.  This is why it so important to learn good communication skills and to allow children and other family members to share and express their emotions.  \n\nSo when people hurt themselves, it makes them feel better because they're releasing their pain and anger.  Just like an abuser releases pain and anger when they punch someone else or punch a wall.  Even though their hand might hurt, they feel better because they've released it.  Unfortunatly, hurting others or yourself leaves people feeling guilty afterward.

less fear of repurcussions. My psychology professor used the example of road rage. People feel they can cuss out and flip off other drivers, because they feel anonymous and safe in their cars. These same people would not dare to do this to someone's face for fear of the way the person would react, however, due to the increasing cases of road rage violence, people are becoming more afraid to do this also. The internet seems to make people feel even more anonymous and safe.

Well, it deteriorates because all order is lost and everyone starts killing each other. That question is so broad. Maybe, you can narrow it and it might be easier to answer.

Religion has been used as the justification for so much violence. But humans are naturally violent animals. Religion or no, we will always find something to squabble over.

It certainly does. Aggression begets aggression. Violence raises Blood Pressure. Leading to more violence.\nChildren watching it think that is how they should react in real life. Like point a gun to get what you want.  READ :\nDoes violence on TV cause violence in real life? What should be done? \n\n     Thirty murders. Forty beatings. Do these sound like figures from a police report? Guess again. They are the number of violent \nacts that a group of South Carolina sixth-graders observed while watching one hour of prime-time television. \n\n     One hour. \n\n     Last December, the students conducted a survey of TV violence. Each student agreed to watch one hour of prime-time television \nfor four days and record the number of violent acts shown. Only murders and beatings were counted. \n\n     The results shocked many of the students. During the four-day period, they saw a total of 100 murders and hundreds of \nphysical assaults (attacks). One student counted three killings in a commercial for a new movie. \n\n     "I was blown away," Kristi Wannamaker, 12, told JS. "I never realized there was so much violence on television." \n\n     Kristi believes that there should be less violence on TV. But some of her classmates disagree. They say that violence makes TV \ninteresting, and should not be cut back. \n\n     "My friends watch violence and it doesn't affect them," Trevor Jay, 12, told JS. "Most people can handle it." \n\n     Why worry about violence on TV? Some people believe that television violence is partly responsible for the growing amount of \nviolence in America. They say that TV violence should be reduced. But other people disagree, saying that viewers have the right to \nchoose what they watch. What do you think? Does violence on TV influence real life? Should it be cut back? If so, how? \n\n     One thing is sure--TV violence is big. On any given night, you might catch a movie about a woman hiring someone to kill her \nhusband. Another channel might offer "real-life" police stories of arrests and shootings. A cartoon shows characters getting \nflattened against trees or squashed under rocks. Add the violence in music videos and movie ads and you get a lot of killing, \nbeating, and bashing going on. \nIS TV VIOLENCE HARMFUL? \n\n     Some experts think that so much violence is harmful. "There are so many studies showing a relationship between the violence \non TV and violence in people's lives," Diana Zuckerman, a psychologist, told JS. "TV is not just a reflection of what's happening in \nsociety, [it] is also creating violence." \n\n     How does this happen? "You get desensitized," explains Robert E. Gould, a professor of psychiatry and an officer of the \nNational Coalition on Television Violence. "The more violence you see, the less upset you become by it. It just becomes a part of \nyour daily life," Gould told JS. \n\n     What do television viewers think? In a recent survey, 80 percent of the people polled felt that television violence is harmful. \nAbout 72 percent thought that entertainment television (TV programs not including news) shows too much violence. \n\n     WHAT IMPACT ON KIDS? \n\n     How much violence do kids see on TV? According to a study done by the American Psychological Association (APA), a child \nwho watches four hours of television daily will witness 8,000 murders by the time he or she finishes elementary school. \n\n     This worries many experts. They say that young children between the ages of 2 and 5 cannot tell the difference between reality \nand fantasy life. So when they see violence on cartoons, they take it for real. \n\n     It can harm older children, too. A steady diet of violence gives them a skewed (distorted) picture of real life. They may begin to \nthink that violence is an acceptable way to deal with problems. \n\n     "When children watch TV, there's a t

people are not assertive enough, a lot of people consider assertiveness the same as being aggressive or being mean so they would just rather be walked all over

Violence begets violence. This saying has been around for a long time, and it still applies. At times, it even seems that our world continues to grow more violent with each passing generation. Who can save us from this perpetuating cycle of harm? It won’t be the rulers of this world who use violence to attain power and oppress through force. Certainly, the writer of Revelation says, it won’t be those who rule Rome and are found covered with the blood of prophets and saints. No, it is the King of kings who will save us from our violent rage.\nOnly the King who is the victim of the violence of human fear and anger can truly understand the depth of our brokenness. Only the One who hung on the cross for the sake of this violent world can save us. Only the God who is stronger than all the violence of this world, even death itself, can redeem us from the cycle of pain. Violent kingdoms come to violent ends. God’s new reign in the kingdom of the risen Christ comes to our world bearing a new type of rule, the rule of peace.

Today kids seem angrier and more hostile.  There's also a pack mentality.  When I was in school, if you got in a fight, once the other person went down, you quit.  Now kids keep kicking and stomping and then more kids will pile on.  It's terrible.  It's like they've lost their ability to control their selves.

Because it is assumed by most that violence is not the will of God. Religious people are always making assumptions on what is the will of their God, with out actually trying to ask him them selves.

Violence isn't a disease, and there isn't any more violence today than in ancient times. You just see & hear about it because of the modern media. Notice how it will all go away if you turn off the news!

Apparently (all) our leaders lack the ability to find peaceful solutions, each for his own reasons. It is a shame when violence occurs and it would be nice to use alternatives to killing and war.

Because people like drama whether its seeing two people in a fight or watching violent movies people like to see fighting. People like to see big guns and explosives. People who don't have to put their life on the line like to see there power exerted.

There are a plethora of contributory factors that have led to the increase of violence among the youth in our society. Some of the most oft mentioned cases are associated with the increase in the violent content of movies, television, music, video games, etc. It is averred that these vehicles of entertainment have a desensitizing effect upon the impressionable minds of the youth. Children observe the indiscriminate violence portrayed in a fictional sense, and have difficulty distinguishing the actual effects of its application in reality.\n\nUndoubtedly, this desensitization process plays a role in the increase of violence. However, I believe we are just scratching the surface when we assert that this is the root cause of violence among the youth. In fact, we would do a disservice to our youth if we were to accept this assertion as the primary cause. I think the root cause lies much deeper.\n\nChildren have been witnessing violence in a fictional sense for decades....  To See  more click on link  below

Anyone who believes that hip hop is 'the real cause of violence' is not quite sane. SOME hip hop may encourage SOME violence in SOME people, but it's not 'the real cause of violence'.
