Capital punishment, serial killings, war, terrorism, abortion,
honour killings, euthanasia, suicide bombings, war, and genocide:
all involve the taking of life. Put most simply, all involve
killing other people. However, cultural context heavily influences
heavily how people perceive these acts, and most people reading
this paragraph will likely disagree on the extent to which these
"count" as killing. For such an evolved species, humans can be
violent far beyond the point of humanity. Why We Kill examines this
violence in its many forms, exploring how culture plays a role in
people's understanding and definition of violent action. From the
first chapter, which examines "conventional" homicide, to the final
chapter's bone-chilling account of the Rwandan genocide, this
fascinating book makes compelling reading.
