| Soundwave said: I'm not an immigrant, lol. American is a violent society period, sadly. Which other developed country has had a recent sitting president get shot, and another one of its most popular president's ever have his head blown off? And then his brother was shot and killed too. Which other developed country has school shootings pretty much on the regular? In which country was John Lennon killed in? Martin Luther King? It's a shame, but violence seems to be endemic with it as a society. |
With diversity (and I mean more than racial, ethnic, and religious diversity, I also mean ideological diversity) comes conflict. I can generally agree with this sentiment that the U.S is just going to be inherently more violent, because it is much larger than European nation-states, in fact one can't really say the U.S is a nation-state, but something rather unique to the Anglosphere (a federation of individuals?) One sees this in Europe as well. The more diverse the European country the higher the rate of violence.
Remember, as much as it seems as if the U.S is just a European offspring, it has had a vastly different history and a different societal structure overall.
