  • 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 discuss theories from Thomas Hobbes, who saw humans as naturally violent, to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who believed society corrupts our peaceful nature. We also examine Freud’s death drive, Bandura’s social learning theory, and the role of biology, media, and power structures in shaping aggression.
