Thought Provoking Statements

The first statement I am tackling is, "everyone is capable of lying, betrayal, and violence, which are basic parts of human nature." I would strongly agree with this statement. In my life I have lied plenty of time. Too many times to count. My brother, my mother, and my father have all lied to me about minor things, but it is still lying. My brother and I get into fights all the time, wether it is physical or not. That satisfies both betrayal and violence. My friends have all lied to me before, all be it, very tiny, white lies. My life might be a special case, but I would say that since everybody does it then it is human nature.

My second arguable statement of the post will be, "women are more compassionate and less violent than men." I would neither agree or disagree with this statement. I have seen men that have no compassion and are very violent. I see men with one or the other. I see many violent women that can be compassionate. I see some women that are very compassionate and not violent at all. I think some people are compassionate and some are not. The same goes for the issue of violence. This is consistent across all sexes. For example, I am not too violent and very compassionate. My mother is not that violent, but can be compassionate to some and very harsh to others. From my observation of random sets of personalities, I conclude that it is and equal chance of men being less violent and more compassionate or women being less violent and more compassionate.
