Why is there so much violence in the world?

Violence is always on TV because it gets good ratings- most people won't watch "good" thinsg happening, they want to see bad things happen to other people, its just human nature. And since technology, media and a lot of this entertainment is so new, people (namely parents) don't know how to deal with it in a healthy way, and as a result kids- the newer generations- have poor personal boundaries and senses of self. A lot of the time, they end up acting out the ways they see on TV and in movies, and sometimes that involve the violence we see on the news.

I know what you mean, I have actually stopped watching the news because it always makes me so depressed. I hat to say it but there isn't a lot that you can do. I mean it's not like we have super powers to save the world, as cool as that would be. But rest assured that there is something that you can do: Treat others the way that you want to be treated. Don't be cruel to those around you, donate to a good cause, a raise awareness like you are doing by starting this discussion. I know that it doesn't sound like a lot but believe it or not it does make a difference. I think that you have already taken the first step by starting this discussion. Good luck and happy mylotting and remember that although the news seems bad, they do have to keep up ratings and unfortunately that means concentrating on all the bad things, but there are a lot of good things that happen in the world too. Maybe someone should think about starting a news show where only good things are reported. I wonder how that would work?
