    I find that his article conveys a sentiment that guns are not the problem concerning the recent prevalence of mass shootings, rather that that the actions of past gunmen, namely Harris and Klebold, has set a “cultural script” for the next generation of shooters. It is harrowing to think that young men such as David LaDue, who ordinarily would not even consider these acts, would enthusiastically plot them under motivation from past killers. Even though he may have been mildly autistic, it still speaks volumes about our culture, that we as a society have become too violent. What could be a solution this epidemic of violence? I think that we should increase efforts towards detecting cases of poor psychological health/abnormally violent tendencies,…

Pinker uses a chart that estimates the deaths of people from the twentieth century to the twenty-first century (Pinker 701). The early 1900s included countless deaths from wars, slavery, and other violent conflicts.…

    The Webster dictionary defines violence as “The use of physical force to harm someone, to damage property”(Violence, n.d.).There is no doubt that violence has been apparent in the evolution of humans, whether it be in modern civilization or in the early stages of homo sapient life. The question lies in whether violence is something humans have programmed in their genes or is a product of human lifestyle and culture. The topic of whether humans are violent by nature or not has been debated for years since there is no indefinite answer at the time being, however, I believe the case for humans being inherently violent is a much more firm opinion for a few reasons.
