Where does violence come from?

My thoughts on the subject.....

I believe that violence is influenced on how someone was raised as a child, what they experienced and what was going on in their family. I also think that what is seen can influence on someone having thoughts and actions of violence, but only if the individual's mind hasn't fully matured with the right knowing. So if a child who hasn't been taught the right things and hasn't matured yet they could easily be influenced by anything seen or experienced......such as video games and movies.

Video games and movies does however have some impact on ones thoughts. But its to the extent of how much and which direction that person thinks of those violent themes and images in those video games and movies, and that's dependent on how matured their mind is.

I personally wasn't allowed to play violent games or watch violent movies when I was a kid, and I'm glad for that. Now violent games are what mostly inhabit my video game library. Playing violent video games doesn't give me violent thoughts or influence me in bad ways, but thats just me.
