Görünüşe göre alkol, şiddet dürtülerine karşı içsel kısıtlamaları yalnızca azaltıyor; bu dürtüleri yaratmıyor.
Apparently, alcohol merely reduces the inner restraints against violent
impulses; it does not create those impulses.
Uzun vadede nefret ve şiddetin, suçlandıkları toplumsal koşulların herhangi birinden çok daha yaygın ve kalıcı olduğu kanıtlanmıştır.
in the long run hatred and violence have proved far more pervasive and
durable than any of the social conditions on which they have been
blamed.
Thus, violence often emerges from a pattern in which both sides
perform hostile or provoking acts.
One may dispute whether these reasons are sufficient to justify the violent response.
But it is rather clear that
people who act violently often think that they are responding to an
intolerable and often aggressive set of acts by someone else.
