Why Violence Has Declined.

If you are interested in learning why violence has declined in our world today, then The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined is a must-read for you. Written by Steven Pinker, this book provides an in-depth study on how modern civilization has embraced the better angels of our nature and how it has led to decreased levels of violence. Through his analysis of historical data and various social science studies, Pinker offers compelling evidence that violence has been steadily declining since the Middle Ages. He argues that this decline is due to a combination of moral progress, economic development, government regulation, and even technological advances. By painting a vivid picture with detailed facts and figures, Pinker does an excellent job of making his argument for why we should continue to strive for peace and understanding.
