On May 24, I wrote about school shootings. I have decided that this issue needs to be revisited. I argued in the May 24th posting that school shootings were the result of social alienation. To say, not feeling ones belongs to society or feeling that one is being pushed out. However, it has recently dawned on me that some individuals while getting treated in the same social environment and in the same manner, as those to become shooters, do not themselves become shooters. I have come to ask myself why this is?
The simplest and easiest out would be to say these individuals are biologically set for this course of action once the breaking point has been reached. However, if this were the case it would seem that a history of unjustifiable, violent behavior (which would also on the surface seem to be unexplainable violent behavior) would be found in the past of these individuals. This usually does not co-inside with the "loaner" personality of these individuals. To say, to be violent is to be violent against another person. Maybe it is society inability to accept differences that causes these shootings to arise. In the consistent pushing of society to have these individuals to confirm that creates these individuals to become violent/dangerous.
Lets for a moment still argue that society instead of working with those that seem to be strange elements within itself should continue to assimilate these individuals then instead of being pushy should not society be more gentle. Still if it is societies pushy ness then why do some of these individuals become dangerous and others do not? Could it be the answer is to be found within the tolerance of these individuals for societies pushy ness? Could it be that some have more tolerance for it than others? How is this tolerance created: we have already ruled out biology?
