Gerçek şiddet ve duruş arasında net bir ayrım var. Oxford sosyal psikoloğu Peter Marsh, bunun New York sokak çetelerinde geçerli olduğunu, “sözde ilkel kabileler ve savaşçılar” için geçerli olduğunu ve dünyadaki hemen hemen her kültürde geçerli olduğunu belirtiyor. Hepsi aynı "saldırganlık kalıplarına" sahiptir ve hepsi "çok düzenlenmiş, son derece ritüelleştirilmiş" duruş, sahte savaş ve boyun eğme kalıplarına sahiptir. Bu ritüeller, şiddeti nispeten zararsız duruş ve gösterime kısıtlar ve odaklar. Yaratılan şey "mükemmel bir şiddet yanılsaması"dır. Saldırganlık, evet. Rekabet gücü, evet. Ama sadece "çok küçük, küçük bir seviye" gerçek şiddet.
