RE: Is The World Becoming More Violent?

in #life7 years ago

This is surprising to me. I would've thought that violence is the past was a tad exaggerated, but then numbers don't lie. Maybe because we live in this age that's why we tend to stress that this is the worst it's ever been. I mean, we didn't experience the Dark Ages, so we can't do a firsthand comparison. Perhaps being desensitized to the violence has its benefits as well. Since we're so used to it, it's nothing new. One can only compare if one has lived in different period of humanity's existence. Until then, we can just rely on what the data tells us. Don't fight me on this or I will flip out and rage all over this place!
