Why are there so many violent crimes? #05

However, there is a lot of evidence for something else. The aforementioned theories do not explain why the number and nature of crimes vary from culture to culture. They do not explain why violence is common in some cultures, while in others few people resort to violence, and even more so to murder. Psychoanalyst Erich Fromm pointed out the fallacy of the theory that humans inherited aggressiveness from primates. He noted that in the animal kingdom violence is mainly done to protect themselves or to satisfy some physical needs, and only people kill just for pleasure.

Professors Alan Fox and Jack Levine in the book "The Urge to Kill. An Attempt to Understand Senseless murders" (eng.) They note:"Undoubtedly, some people are more prone to violence. However, everyone has free will. Although the desire to kill appears under the influence of a number of internal and external factors, a person makes a choice and decides what to do. So, she bears responsibility and blame for what she did."

Violence in computer games. Doctors' view

In Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, USA), Dr. Richard Corlin, former president of the American Medical Association, addressed a group of graduates of the medical university. In his speech, he touched upon the topic of violent computer games. In these games, you get points for injuries. When you hit the body, you get more points, but you get the most for a headshot. On the computer screen, blood flows like a river, and the brain sprays from the shots.

Dr. Corlin noted that children are not allowed to drive a car, drink alcoholic beverages, or smoke, because they are still too young. "But," he added, "children are allowed to learn how to kill at an age when they still don't know how to control their desires. They have neither the experience nor the appropriate training to help them safely handle the weapons they play with... We must constantly teach our children from birth that any form of violence has very serious consequences."

Unfortunately, no one teaches children about the consequences of violence. And children themselves often become innocent victims of violent crimes. Statistics show that 10 children die from firearms every day in the United States. Dr. Corlin says: "In terms of the number of children who have been killed by firearms, the United States is ahead of other countries." And how did he end his speech? "Gun violence threatens the health of the entire country. And this is an indisputable fact."
