Resumen de The decline of violence.

Michael Shermer

  • The article discusses violence in the modern world, arguing that despite events such as the Rwandan genocide, the 2011 Norway attacks by Anders Behring Breivik, and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks the overall level of violence has declined. The author looks at the work of the social scientist Steven Pinker, author of the book "The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined," which indicates that rates of homicides and deaths in war have decreased.
