  • Are Humans Born Violent, or Is Society to Blame?

    Is violence an unavoidable part of human nature, or is it shaped by society? This episode explores one of history’s most debated questions, diving into psychological, philosophical, and scientific perspectives.

We also examine Freud’s death drive, Bandura’s social learning theory, and the role of biology, media, and power structures in shaping aggression.
