There are two basic conditions that produce violent tendencies in human beings. One condition is that the person has been hurt. A child who is spanked, hit, beaten, or threatened with violence will have a tendency to become violent himself. Sexual abuse and emotional neglect are also hurts that can lead to violent tendencies. The accumulation of minor hurts (stress) can lead to violent behavior as well (Aletha, Ph.D., 2013). The cause of violence is not a single factor and it occur in complex ways and level which can be expressed as demographic characteristics, substance abuse and genetics etc.
Demographic
A simple act of violence can genuinely affect an individual's state of mind. Through violence, individuals feel empowered and are tempted to prolong their violent nature. This results in one heinous act, following with worse violence. In Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Ishmael Beah’s A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of A Boy Soldier, both authors effectively highlight a theme, that violence will ultimately lead to more violence.
If a child is surrounded in violence as they grow up, they are more likely to become violent. If they are surrounded by such negative influence they themselves are more likely to become what they are surrounded by. For example, Ian Manuel was raised in extreme poverty and violence. At the age of four, he was raped by an older sibling.

The fact that more and more gruesome murders happen shows that we are living in fear of violence, and this violence is unacceptable.

The “tough guise,” is a beneficially effective response when a person or a loved one are in physical danger.
But taking the time to think more intensely about it, people have psychological/ behavioral problems that lead to unnecessary actions.

Our society is responsible for aggression. Many people argue that aggressive people were born with a predisposition to perform violent acts, but that does not settle with many psychologists’ studies. Other people believe that violent people were made from exposure to aggression during childhood. Both of these perspectives represent points of a larger argument started by Francis Galton 150 years ago most commonly known as “Nature versus Nurture”. After 150 years, and the founding of a new branch of science, epigenetics, scientists now have viable proof that that nurture is more influential in the case of aggression because epigenetics show that environments are responsible for gene expression.
The school environment is one that has been stressed to be a safe and enjoyable place to learn. However, for many individuals, that is not the case.

Esbensin, Peterson, Taylor and Freng (2010) implies that “ young people who have committed serious violent offenses have the highest level of impulsive and risk-seeking tendencies.” Moreover, extreme violent criminal activity being performed in front of youth increases the risk of them performing acts of extreme violence themselves. Because youth see those acts as acceptable so committng those violent activities make youths to become ruthless.
