(13,746 posts)If in just a mere decade or so, that would lead me to think of Internet availability as a major contributor exacerbating the problem as opposed to ?abnormal/normal/subnormal? social changes. Ten years plus or minus could pin it more specifically.
As for human nature of power over another... I think that could be classified as ancient characteristics. Species do evolve in social practices that effect genetics and mimetics for better of worse. Wherever the violent expectation and desire came from, I seriously doubt it's going to help humankind's survival in the future. I don't think humans who are trying to build a gentler future would loose the battle in the long term if we hold to standards that promote peace and loving behavior and hold strong to those standards whatever the means.
My idealistic side. But I stand by it.
