A very meaningful and thoughtful article. I think in general the world is not becoming more violent, but under some occasions it is. Take Hong Kong as an example, people are becoming more and more unsatisfied with the government and a riot broke out eventually - people threw bricks at the police and many people were sent to jail for several years. Riots at this level of violence has never occurred in the recent years, and I am sure the level of violence in Hong Kong has been increasing over years. It is because the citizens believe that peace cannot solve the problem, that's why they turned to violence. This is very sad, but under such a government we have no choice, but to stand up and fight against the government violently.

yes I agree, in hong kong a lot of ppl are becoming disaffected
in smaller pockets, or over shorter periods of time, it's not apparent, but i think in the long run we've made steady progress
it's not guaranteed though, so we need to be mindful :)
