Afrique en ligne
If violence is not natural, and not ingrained in our genetic makeup then the question is, what the root of violence is (violence, which is gender based). Gary Barker has done lot of research in this area and he has an answer.

Some people experience violence at home, through their parents and family members and instead of remembering how it affected them in a negative way, they just carry on this repetitive and violent cycle. They abuse their spouses and beat up their children. There is also psychological abuse, which to me, is one of the worst forms of violence from which very few people can ever recover. Economic problems can also lead to violence. I strongly believe that a good and healthy upbringing would avoid any form of violence. Parents have a great task in their hands to bring up children who will become responsible and loving adults. My husband and I try to have a open door policy with our six children and shower them with lots of love and attention, listen to their worries and problems and teach them what is right and wrong, acceptable and abominable. The best way to lead your family is by being examplary, then the children cannot point fingers at you and say that 'you just preach, but do not follow or do it yourself'.
