Chaos and violence appear to be running rampant through the world at the moment. The issue is even seen right here in the U.S. With all the distress and victims looking for solutions nowadays, it is time to wonder what is fueling all of this violence.

Whether it be the number of possessions someone has, their money, or their social status, the societal pressure will occur. The pressure resulting from the competition and, as a consequence, an increased effort at work can cause someone to lose their sanity. In addition to societal pressure, researchers say, “pollution is part of the answer,” in regional effects of violent crimes (Montague). According to Montague, these pollutants cause a loss of control in behavior, and combined with social stress and other factors can lead to violent crimes. Although this cause may appear to be a stretch, one must take into consideration that some of these criminals appear to be socially and mentally unstable. These pollutants can be what causes their self-control to snap. Another reason to give some thought is that violent offenders seem to get “high on crime” (Sileo). Think of it as someone who initially takes prescription pills and becomes used to it, eventually feels the need to take a much stronger drug like Cocaine. A criminal may begin to feel that crimes such as theft are too simple and feel the need to transition their game into violent crimes.
