Does violent culture produce a violent society?

The answer is dependent upon the times. The common denominator is our species being a warring type of critter.

In past history, some of the most violent people were also the most civilized society (micro) that had to become violent in order to maintain their peace against an enemy. Or risk losing it.

Fast fwd to today....still true today but now there are a helluva lot more elites, ass-hats out there who do not want peace but chaos.

E.g., how the hip-hop genre got kicked to the curb for gansta' rap saturation, which factored into more ppl going to prison, which just happened to go privatized

Somalia answer the question? Ilhan Omar and her country folk are enriching her district with their special brand of diversity.

Yes.

You should also homeschool!

That’s a rhetorical question, right?

Yet, they hide it.
They blur out dead bodies and blood and guts.
If that was shown more, the ugly truth, maybe things can change.

Lets cut to the chase shall we.

Gun ownership as a percentage of the population has decreased since 1960.
1960- 43% of US households owned a gun
2016- 32% owned a gun

So, the percentage of gun owners has decreased. Yet the number of mass shootings has increased.

Your question is does violent culture produce a violent society.
I think it is better asked as follows- Does violence in entertainment produce a violent society?

If you have a chance, read "On Killing" by David Grossman.
Like him, I believe our violent culture/society is to be blamed squarely on violent movies and games.

Television and movies are a form of hypnosis. Watching violence becomes a desensitizing and glorifying experience.
Media do not mimic life. They mold the future image of reality.
Think of that the next time you watch a show with violence, gay characters, or any other subject that was unmentionable in your youth.

We all remember the old saying "you are what you eat."
Our brains function the same way. Violence in= violence out.
Lack of civility in= lack of civility out.
Be very careful what you allow to feed your brain.
Most of society runs on autopilot without introspective thought.
That allows an easily manipulated populace.

No, it's that the federal government trades like we're a member of the commonwealth.

I am pretty sure now we are going to go through a bit of mad max, certainly more in the 'big cities' and especially in blue states.

Thugs will be finding out in many places how many 'good citizens' are armed, and will shoot when 'law and order' break down.

What do you mean. The first woman Lilith was killed by God because she did not want to lie under Adam. It was God that also demanded blood sacrifice as well. Which led to the first murder.

I most definitely will!

Of course! There were studies done about television in the 80s and they determined and published that. The TV guides regularly published about this since the early 70s.

But then came the 90s with close up gore TV (E.R. anyone?) and everyone had amnesia about those TV studies.

There were studies about violent video games, also. It's what they call garbage in/out.

No witches were ever burned in the US
Just a fact

Culture is a reflection of society.
For example, "gansta rap" didn't create inner city violence...it describes it.

It's the other way around.

Well my mom drove me around the houses that I owned and reminded me of all the work that I did that was taken from me stopped turned to me and said anyone that judges me was going straight to hell ...I believe her

Low IQ races produce violent culture and violent society.

This is a violent fucked up PLANET...not just America.


But...once you get out of the Democrat shithole urban centers...America is not really that violent.


Go out to the country.


Suburbs at least.

Stay out of the Democrap shitholes.

You're welcome!

Cut to the chase?

Lol

The rate is lower because of population increase.

Bottom line is that there are now more guns in more hands along with a higher rate of gun violence. That's the "rate" that matters
