Civilization always goes forward with violence.
Human beings are evolving, together with their civilization and culture. We say we are evolving, that means we are developing in a better and more optimistic way. We think we are more superior than the previous condition.
Undoubtedly, our society moves forward fastly and enormously, especially about the development of the science, the technology, the education, and the civilization. Our society is becoming more inclusive and we are exposed to more horizonal aspects overally.
That is to say, we have more accessible ways to know the world, including something unknown in the past and other things in the other areas.
Plus, we are educated and cultivated in a more profound way. Then, we call ourselves being more civilized.
We are shaped with various viewpoints and we demand to say out our own opinions, and also, to protect them to stand out of the public, not to be missed or neglected. We literally call it democracy.
The world war era is over, but the regional riots, attacks, or blasts happen nearly every day. For religious or racial reasons, the conflict is sharp and hard to ease that tension. The belief is beyond everything.
The fair rights should be along with the responsibilities and duties. So the constant protests are against the goveronment, in demand for their voices to be respected.
But we "higher animals" usually come up with some solutions for compromise so that the conflicts can be avoided. However, sometimes it is not compromise but surrender.
