Why is violence increasing in society?
When society is simple and needs of all its members restricted to existential living, deprivation can cause violent behaviour. This is commonly seen when fights break out in societies where food is scarce. In such situations, survival instinct takes over all normal forms of social behaviour.
What are the reasons of violence?
Other factors which can be causes of violence include:
- The influence of one’s peers.
- Having a lack of attention or respect.
- Having low self-worth.
- Experiencing abuse or neglect.
- Witnessing violence in the home, community, or medias.
- Access to weapons.

“The intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment or deprivation.”
High stress levels, rapid technological, social, and economic change, and conflict between social groups make sense as contributors to violence. These understandings of violence have the advantage of leading directly to action; if a society knows what is broken, it can organize attempts to fix it.
