Violence in Society

What do you think causes violence in society? 

Throughout all fo the resources that we've used, I feel as though the main driving force behind violence in inequality and people trying to take shortcuts. People who want more out of their life, who want to have something faster, who can't get what they want because they don't have the skills to achieve it can do it violently.  Jealousy is derived from inequality; it is the ultimate cause for violence.   

Think of your classic mugging. People who see someone carrying something that they want, they beat them up and steal it from them. Instead of trying to find a way to make more money, to work harder in school or the workplace, they take the violent shortcut that is, generally, easier and takes less time.  Child soldiers is a problem based around someone wanting to rule the government because they didn't have a strong enough say in what was going on in their country. Rape is caused by people who lack the skills to be intimate with women and therefore force them into doing these horrible things.  It is the desire to have something that other people have that leads to violence.
