If you watch the news then you would be forgiven for thinking that the whole human race is headed for one giant killing spree that wipes us all out.I think we are naturally protective of what we consider ours; our family, our friends, our posessions, our money, our position in life....when we think something we consider ours is threatened we naturally become protective & all have the potential to become violent.If someone came into my home & threatened my family I think I would definately have the potential to get really agressive. I hope that I would do anything necessary to protect the people I love. Not so much my posessions as they are replacable but definately people!

In nature, there is violence. There will be violent people in all areas of life. Some people are violent because they grew up being treated inhumanely. Some people are because they see violence as a means to an end. Some people are violent because they just want to see something suffer. Some people are violent because they are cornered, or feel threatened.To a point, everyone is guilty of being violent. Have you ever killed a mosquito? I can guess that the mosquito thought that it was a violent thing to do.So, there is no doubt that people are violent. The question then is what is the intention behind the violence? Is the violence a justifiable response to what is being done? Or, is it just a choice we make?
