        But globalization made violence more unpredictable. People feel more threatened because it is not just in places far away. #peace

        Do you have a source for that? IIRC, in general, violence is down across the globe.

        It is, but thanks to media, it does not seem that way. That was the point I was making...

        Yep. Violence has been trending downward for centuries. Like WWI & WWII, we may have short-term jumps again.

        Yes. I think the prediction of the end of war is, a bit, presumptous...

        Does decline in war imply an increase in morality?

        Does this mean we should become more tolerant and indulgent toward ISIS, toward such terrorism that still exists?
