Today, our culture promotes an alarming trend toward ever increasing acts of violence. When our children kill each other or gangs murder for turf, it is a glaring sign that our youth have not learned to revere life. What kind of future leaders are we creating?
Alain Richard has spent the last 25 years studying the violent tendencies of the U.S. His theory, while unsettling, makes sense. Ever since colonists first traveled across the ocean, this culture has been an invasive one.
In addition to our legacy of violence, our culture has created a strong market (materialistic) economy with an insatiable desire for money and possessions. We place more value on acquiring wealth than on spending time with our children, family, and friends.
Roots of Violence exposes the origins and current causes of the underlying, explosive rage pervasive in our culture today. Understanding this is the first step toward healing our society.
