Global violence
There is a growing preception that violence, criminal activities, and lack of law and order is increasing around the world.
Why is that ? Are we getting more civilised or less.

for one the age at which crime is committed is younger..this i mean pertaining to North America..and more crimes committed by immigrant youth who have nothing better to do than kill each other over 'territory/area/land" that is not even theirs besides the fact they live there....

UN Study shows 14% deaths amoung men and 7% among women are homicides.
Every minute one person is killed in the world. And for every one person killed 20-40 are seriously injured.
In some countries, health care expenditures due to violence account for up to 5% of GDP.
In some countries about 20% of women and 5-10% of men suffered sexual abuse as children.
And all this is based on official data only. Moreover death in war and from acts of terrorism are also not included

Resently I saw a TV discussion in which police department heads from various countries where discussion about crime and the common opinion was "Law and Order" is loosing the war against "Crime". That a new and global strategy is required for combating this menace.
Surya,
One consern by a police head was that people dont actually do anything about crime until it reaches them. As long as it doesnt affect your niebhourhood or family no one cares. But the problem is once the other niebhourhood are saturated with crime it comes to yours.

so very true Sandeep i see it all the time here...we read the news and spread it as well...we all shake our heads in pity/sadness/empathy at the tragedies..and even if it comes close by we express concerns and say 'what is the world coming to" but then quickly recover and pat ourselves on the back that atleast we picked a good safe neighbourhood and thats that...and it also goes so far as denying the seriousness of crime..like yeah there has been marijauna busts here but that is not as bad as stabbings in downtown...or yeah vandalism and petty robbery are always a problem but it's not the same as shootings or gang fights...sad really...metal detecters, cameras and 'in the event of a shooting' drills, plainclothes policeman and 'turn in your gun and get a prize' (no questions asked) events at schools

Global Violence
Global Violence is indeed one of the HOT TOPICS of the Contemporary World Society, because it is growing day by day as also escalating with new dimensions and methods alongside cropping up in the new Regions and countries as well.
WHY SUCH GLOBAL VIOLENCE ?
There are several causes.... the Salient amongst them are....
(1)Overall Psycho- deteriration of Mankind to-day, ignoring Human- Values coupled with the Sense of the Society around.
(2.)Growing trend of SADISM amongst certain sections of the people, who take LAW IN THEIR HANDS and find pleasure in others sufferings..
(3)Growing Trend of IRRESPONSIBILITY amongst certain sections of Society who wants TO EARN EASILY, with putting forth least Efforts. Such people fall prey to the Sadistic Leaders.
(4) Growing Trend of SELFISHNESS, ignoring the interests of ones own brothren, Parents, Wife and Children too, who want to DOMINATE over others unreasonably. Eventually some people form groups to achieve this Negative-Objective by means of HEGEMONY.
(5) Growing trend of FANATICISM on individual Faiths Beliefs or Regionalism or the likes.
(6) Growing trend of SICK-MINDEDNESS and DEGRADATION OF BRAIN APPLICATION on the Realities of Life.
(7) Growing trend of DETERIORATION OF HUMAN-SPIRITS of Universal-Love and Collective-Advancement as Mankind emulating the other Successful Creatures like Monkey, Parrot, Crow and the Cow.
(8) Growing Trend of deterioration of INCLINATION TOWARDS HIGHER EDUCATION.... even by the Wise humans.
(9) Growing trend of degradation in SELF-REALISATION being the SUPREME CREATURE on Earth highest previleged with Moral-Values, Subtle-senses of Life-pleasures towards Peace of Mind, by means of innate Spiritual-Might., coupled with the God-Realisation.
Most INVALUABLE TREASURE is.. Time.
Spend it MEANINGFULLY Spread effectively.

But what is the reason for this kind of degradation in almost all aspects our human society.
Why is Sadism, fanatism, irresponcibilities increasing. After all these where part of human nature from time immortal, but why is it on a increase now. Why this de-civilization

Hi Mr.Sandeep.
Thanks for your prompt response.
//But what is the reason for this kind of degradation in almost all aspects our human society. Why is Sadism, fanatism, irresponcibilities increasing//
Yes, a GOOD QUESTION.... It needs deep analysis by Sociological Scholars. In my Opinion,.... the Basic Reasons are....
(1)Because WRONG OR UNSUITED PERSONS .. like Duryodana.... are allowed to occupy the HIGH SEATS OF POWER AND AUTHORITY. in Politics, Religions, Governments, and even in the Non-commercial Service Organisations established totally with NOBLE- OBJECTIVES.... like Hospitals, Educational-centres and Religious Institutions.
(2)Indeed the Evolution of Scientific Uprisel should be encouraged and applied towards the Collective advancement of Mankind, which is possible by the proper Political- Will of the individuals in Power. But in Reality we find in general that the People are getting lazy day by day,due to rapid Advancement of Science, resulting in Superficial functions of responsible leaders, as also perfunctory decisions by the Intellectuals even on important Factors and Vital issues.
(3)Ignorance and Innocence of the common public in certain sections of Society, whose delicacies, deficiencies and the Helpless state of affairs are unduly exploited by the Wicked Self-centered Leaders,
which deleterious trend can be corrected and set right only by the Sincere and Trustworthy Social Service Organisations with broad Universal outlook of Global Humanity..
//After all these where part of human nature from time immortal//
No... It was NOT so.... but a WELL-PROVEN FACT.... that the Indian Civilisation vas the MOST ADVANCED AND ANCIENT one, ensuring the COMMON WELL-BEING of the Society as a whole., being lead by Emulative leaders as Kings and Social-Heads of Large Heart and Broad Mind ensuring PROPRIETY and SELF-DISCIPLINE bound by MORAL VALUES coupled with God-sense.
//... but why is it on a increase now. Why this de-civilization?//
My above reply contains the answer for this Question too.
Now.... the only Question.... remains UANSWERED is.....
WHO IS TO BELL THE CAT ?..... for the GLOBAL SOCIETY ?
