The perpetuation of human brutality and conflict can be attributed to various underlying societal and psychological factors. Societally, factors such as power dynamics, inequality, historical grievances, and political ideologies play a significant role in fueling conflicts. Economic disparities, resource competition, and cultural differences also contribute to tensions and violence among individuals and groups. Psychologically, factors like fear, anger, prejudice, and the dehumanization of others can lead to acts of brutality and aggression. Trauma, unresolved conflicts, and a lack of empathy or emotional intelligence further exacerbate the cycle of violence. Addressing these underlying factors requires a multifaceted approach that involves promoting social justice, conflict resolution, mental health awareness, and education on tolerance and understanding.
