And yet violence is decreasing in the world. Seriously. Check out Steven Pinker's work, The Better Angeles of Our Nature. We're more aware of it in our connected world, but it is decreasing. We used to not know about the violence a few towns over. Now we talk about (and condemn) violence on the other side of the planet. It's not all getting worse, but we still have plenty of work to do to make it get even better.
