I want to find research that supports the idea of the prison environment contributing to poor mental health among adult prison inmates. I want to find research that speaks about the living conditions such as cell size, overcrowding, food, violence among inmates, mistreatment from prison guards and limited access to mental health services.
Relevant answer
The prison environment can significantly contribute to poor mental health among adult inmates. Here are some key factors:
  1. Overcrowding: Overcrowded conditions can lead to increased stress, tension, and conflict among inmates.
  2. Isolation: Prolonged periods of isolation or solitary confinement can cause severe psychological distress and exacerbate mental health issues.
  3. Lack of Privacy: Inmates often have little to no privacy, which can lead to feelings of vulnerability and helplessness.
  4. Violence and Victimization: Exposure to violence and the risk of victimization can lead to trauma and anxiety.
  5. Boredom and Lack of Stimulation: The monotonous and unstimulating environment can contribute to depression and other mental health issues.
  6. Negative Staff-Inmate Interactions: Poor relationships between staff and inmates can increase stress and negatively impact mental health.
  7. Disconnection from Family and Society: Being separated from family and social support networks can lead to feelings of loneliness and despair.
These factors can create a cycle of stress and mental health deterioration, making it challenging for inmates to maintain their well-being and successfully reintegrate into society after release.

In many countries, surveys are carried out with certain frequency that measure the population's perception regarding a certain issue. In Mexico, for example, they are widely used to measure indices of perception of violence in states and municipalities and with this the most and least unsafe are defined. Can these types of tools be considered sufficient for the design of accurate indicators and, above all, for the generation of public policies and institutional programs?

I have been advocating for a definition of violence that encompasses four dimensions: (1) it is an expression of desires or decisions; (2) it promotes asymmetry; (3) it is a disregard for norms; and (4) it is conducive to potential harm. This conceptualization unveils the intent behind violent acts, highlighting an imbalanced power dynamic where aggressors breach established boundaries to enforce their will, resulting in any kind of damage.
Our endeavor aims to transcend fragmented approaches that categorize violence by types or manifestations, thereby illuminating its complexity and encouraging a critical dialogue on accountability and preventative measures against its various forms. This perspective underscores the necessity of comprehending the motivations and consequences of such actions.
Details can be found in the study below, pages 8 and 9.

Whenever there is talk of domestic violence, it is mostly taken to mean that women are its victims. Nowadays, the question arises whether it is the case that the man is the one who commits such violence. Let us consider this question.
Relevant answer
Answer
Domestic violence is a complex phenomenon that needs to be viewed from multiple perspectives. Previously, I participated in the study of such a phenomenon as “prevention of domestic violence” from the point of view of criminology. Anyone can be its victim, regardless of various factors. Most often women seek help, and much less often children and men. Children cannot always seek help due to their age, and men cannot always seek help because they may be afraid of public condemnation.

I am looking at two methods only and considering the benefits to the person and the problem.
Revenge: this can be and usually is cathartic. Negative feelings about yourself and the world recede as you have taken action. You do not suffer a sense of victimhood, which may affect your view of yourself, internalising anger and creating self-harm and depression.
Forgiveness: this is passive. By forgiving the other person you resolve the negative effects in yourself and deal with the negative effects towards others. But.....
.....in the first you have not only dealt with the problem but also the repetition of problems. Nevertheless, employing say violence encourages violence, even if that violence is not directed against you. In the second you will likely or possibly remain the victim of further violence. In both instances forgiveness is possible but this works in different ways according to the action taken.

If you practice healthy ways to handle conflict, the process can build trust and support emotional growth. A healthy approach to conflict involves getting out of your reptile brain – the part that controls your automatic impulses – and into your prefrontal cortex, the part that allows you to think rationally. A large part of healthy conflict management is the ability to notice your feelings, self-regulate, and make sure you’re capable of communicating your needs. Conflict is not a bad thing. We do not have to be afraid of confrontation. Conflict management requires patience, both for ourselves and for other people, but mindful practice of this skill is an invaluable tool.

In some of my recent papers, I have demonstrated a return to medieval tropes evident in Russia, the Middle East and indeed the USA, which has been expressed as a return to authoritarianism. I will expand on that as indicating a re-embrace of irrationality whether through strident and implausible nationalism, pogroms, and an increase in state violence and a decline in humanitarian ideologies.
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes, history is repeating. The historic recurrence or eternal return of things and events is due to unsolved deeper problems of the human nature or psyche. Some people might learn from some of their mistakes , but the historic record shows that humanity does not learn from its mistakes, Humanity does not learn from its past. There is no evidence that we know how.
'Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.' (George Santayana).
Scientific modes of thought cannot be developed and become generally accepted unless people renounce their primary, unreflecting, and spontaneous attempt to understand all their experience in terms of its purpose and meaning for themselves. The development that led to more adequate knowledge and increasing control of nature was therefore, considered from one aspect, also a development toward greater self-control by men.
Norbert Elias
Conlusion: The materialist consumer society can provide no answer or solution to the improvement of the human condition, with respect to greater self-control,moral reflection and ethical engagement.
For a humanitarian transition away from our predatory psyche , two factors are needed. The first is a shift in the mode of production, which may be happening with the transition from the industrial age to the knowledge age. The second is a transformation of the level of consciousness through a spiritual leap forward.
History is always repeating itself, but each time the price goes up.

Canada according to Norimitsu Onsishi and Vjosa Isai ( New York Times, October 5) is becoming a battleground for Indians opposed to Modi and the government of Modi. In their view Modi represents an axis if extreme right-wing leaders that have emerged since the turn of this century and are intent on causing trouble with their countries and outside its borders. The Canadian government has accused Modi of arranging the assassination of a Sikh separatist who fled from India. Critics have claimed that the arrival of Modi and Hindutva have caused increased violence within Indian communities worldwide, which is common whenever ideologies infect societies. Within Indian communities worldwide attempts to reimpose caste discrimination have risen, with violence reported against Dalit communities.
Mt Modi came into power in 2014 and since has promoted a Hindu first, nationalist policy called Hindutva, which especially has tried to reclaim the past, while also providing what appears to be the claims of Islam. My increased knowledge of India indicates a growing nationalism and concentration on Indian exceptionality and of course is a staunch follower of Putin.
Several questions occur:
Will India seek dominance over others as its economy grows (now 5th GDP in the world)? And essentially, why or why not?
Why have right wing political systems become popular?
Is nationalism excusable in other parts of the world, ones which once were subordinated to the west, but one of sticks to beat the West in the past?
Does this prevent negotiation with other countries or allow it, especially with the collapse of the United Nations?
And why right wing societies at all, which have invariably led to violence and millenarianism?
Change happens but there are reasons beyond the obvious. Economic change is one. Identity is an essential part of right wing politics. I, for one, am horrified to see the rise of right wing politics again but others may think differently and it would be good to hear why they believe politics of single states rather than co-operation is growing alongside prejudice towards others and cults of violence.

A very interesting question. To be clear, Einstein admits to having sinned himself in a way that is indicative of the fact that he had in mind more than one. Every one of the religions in the Middle East and here discusses the idea and allows for a way to gain back self-respect in G-ds eyes or in one's own.. I have read all of Weber's thoughts on the subject and they point to attaching importance the life of every single individual . On this point the Jews and Moslems and Christians agree. This can and should be used as the basis for PEACE in the region. Netanyahu is thinking like a victim who identifies with the victimizer and I know of several people like that all Jewish. Knowing thyself means understanding what it mans to be free to chose peace over war...not an eye for an eye, but rather of holding back from treating others as they treat you on every front. Getting civilians back by dialogue not savagery or complete disrespect for life. Both sides misunderstand what science offers. We humans are not like other animals. We have the potential to know unlike other animals. I am not a philosopher but it seems to me that this is the basis of Plato's idea of the Republic and the true philosophy that underlies it which is neither conservative, nor liberal but real in a way that allows for the importance of the individual of which they share in common. Thanks for your question. This too will be explain in my book, but the events of yesterday prompts me to provide this advanced notice.

I am working on a paper about social disorganization and domestic violence. My fixed-effect panel regression result shows that higher racial heterogeneity can significantly contribute to lower domestic violence occurrence. It is not only a significant result but also very robust. The classical hypothesis of social disorganization theory is that higher racial heterogeneity is related to weaker social bonds, and thus higher violence occurrence. How would you interpret it?

Hi Marta, I suggest controlling for other variables I guess that high social heterogeneity may be linked to third factors such as rural/urban density, Instruction levels and other well known factors associated to IPV incidence.

Doing my research on violent treatments of enemies and prisoners of war in New Kingdom Egypt I realized that war is closely related to hunt in both textual and visual representations, but also that gender and religion play a big role.
I explored how these ideas are reflected on the treatments of enemies and prisoners of war and realized that in relation to all of the above mentioned ideas enemies and prisoners of war can be dehumanized or feminized through these treatments. Thus, I was wondering if I am dealing here with frames in Butler's terms?
Relevant answer
Answer
Judith Butler's "Frames of War" is a book that explores the ways in which war is understood, represented, and framed within political, social, and cultural contexts. The concept of "frames" in this context refers to the discursive and symbolic structures through which war is perceived and made meaningful. In other words, it deals with the mechanisms by which societies and governments shape and communicate their understanding of war, often with significant political and ethical consequences.
Here's a breakdown of key ideas related to the concept of "frames of war" and its applicability to past wars:
  • War as a Social Construct: Butler argues that war is not just a physical and geopolitical event; it is also a social construct, shaped by language, culture, and politics. It is framed and given meaning through various narratives, images, and discourses.
  • Performativity of War: Butler draws on her earlier work on performativity, suggesting that war is performed through language and actions. The way we talk about and represent war can have a profound impact on how we perceive it and on the actions we take in response.
  • Frames as Regulatory Mechanisms: Frames of war are not neutral; they serve as regulatory mechanisms that shape the way we respond to conflict. The framing of war can determine who is seen as a legitimate combatant, who is a civilian, and what actions are considered acceptable or unacceptable.
  • Visibility and Invisibility: Butler explores how certain aspects of war are made highly visible while others are rendered invisible or forgotten. This selective framing can influence public opinion and policy decisions.
  • Biopolitical Implications: The book also delves into the biopolitical aspects of framing war. How governments and societies frame war can influence who is considered grievable and whose lives are deemed expendable.
  • Applicability to Past Wars: The concept of "frames of war" is highly applicable to past wars, as it helps us understand how historical conflicts were understood, justified, and represented. It allows for critical analysis of how narratives and discourses around past wars shaped public opinion, policy decisions, and the aftermath of those conflicts.
For example, one can apply this concept to World War I, where the framing of the war as a "war to end all wars" had significant implications for the post-war period and the formation of the League of Nations. Similarly, examining the framing of the Vietnam War as a struggle against communism and the Iraq War as a response to weapons of mass destruction sheds light on the political and ethical consequences of these frames.

Answer
The impact of war on the behavior of indigenous peoples can vary significantly depending on the specific historical context, the nature of the conflict, and the interactions with colonial or invading powers. Here are some general ways in which war has affected the behavior of indigenous communities:
  • Displacement and Forced Relocation: War often leads to the displacement of indigenous communities from their ancestral lands. They may be forcibly relocated to make way for military operations or to separate them from their traditional territories. This displacement can disrupt their social structures and traditional ways of life.
  • Loss of Cultural Heritage: During times of conflict, indigenous communities may lose cultural artifacts, sacred sites, and traditional knowledge due to damage or destruction. This loss of cultural heritage can have a profound impact on their identity and connection to their heritage.
  • Forced Assimilation: In some cases, war has been used as a tool to forcibly assimilate indigenous populations into the dominant culture. This can involve efforts to suppress indigenous languages, traditions, and practices, leading to a loss of cultural distinctiveness.
  • Violence and Trauma: Indigenous communities may experience direct violence and trauma as a result of war. This can include physical harm, loss of loved ones, and psychological trauma, which can have long-lasting effects on the behavior and mental health of individuals and communities.
  • Resistance and Resilience: Some indigenous groups have a long history of resistance to colonial or invading forces. They may adapt their behavior to resist occupation or assert their rights. This can involve acts of protest, rebellion, or diplomacy.
  • Social Disruption: War often disrupts the social fabric of indigenous communities. Traditional leadership structures may be undermined, and community cohesion may be challenged. New power dynamics may emerge as a result of the conflict.
  • Economic Disruption: Indigenous livelihoods, often closely tied to the land, can be severely impacted by war. Displacement and destruction of resources can lead to economic hardship and a shift in economic behavior.
  • Impact on Health and Well-being: Access to healthcare and basic services can be compromised during times of conflict, affecting the health and well-being of indigenous communities. Malnutrition, disease, and lack of access to clean water are common issues.
  • Cultural Adaptation: Some indigenous communities may adapt their behavior to survive and protect their cultural identity. This could involve the revival of cultural practices or a blending of traditional and modern elements.
  • Reconciliation and Healing: In the aftermath of conflict, indigenous communities may engage in processes of reconciliation and healing. These processes can have a significant impact on behavior, promoting forgiveness and cooperation.

I have several questions.
  1. How are your DVs measured? Are they quantitative variables that can fairly be described using means and SDs? Or are they ordinal variables for which means & SDs would not be very defensible?
  2. How many gender categories have you got, and what are the sample sizes for each category?
  3. Do you have one multivariate research question or 3 univariate research questions?
With 3 DVs, you may be considering MANOVA. My question 3 above is a question that Huberty & Morris (1989) raised in their classic article on MANOVA:
If you are considering MANOVA, see also this article:
Another option to consider, particularly if your DVs are not really quantitative variables (for which means & SDs are defensible) would be to turn things on their head by estimating a logistic regression model with gender as the outcome and with your 3 DVs as the explanatory variables. Frank Harrell described this approach in his well-known textbook on regression modeling: See the excerpt in the attached PDF. But note that it requires having a sufficient number of observations in each gender category. By the 20:1 rule of thumb Harrell describes in the Datamethods Author Checklist (link below), one would need at least 60 observations in each gender category with 3 explanatory variables in the model.

The Indo-Pacific region is a geopolitical concept that encompasses the Indian and Pacific Oceans, as well as the lands and islands that border them. The concept of the Indo-Pacific region gained prominence in the early 2010s, as a way to counter the growing influence of China in the region.
The Indo-Pacific region is home to a number of major powers, including the United States, China, India, Japan, and Australia. These powers have competing interests in the region, which has led to increased tensions. The rise of China has been a major factor in the growing importance of the Indo-Pacific region. China is the world's second-largest economy and has been rapidly expanding its military and economic power. China's growing influence in the region has been met with concern by the United States and other countries in the region.
The United States has been a major player in the Indo-Pacific region for decades. The United States has a number of military bases in the region and is committed to maintaining its security. The United States has also been working to build stronger relationships with other countries in the region, such as India and Japan.
China has been expanding its influence in the Indo-Pacific region through a number of means, including economic investment, military buildup, and diplomacy. China has been investing heavily in infrastructure projects in the region, such as ports and railways. China has also been building up its military presence in the region, including in the South China Sea. China has also been working to strengthen its ties with countries in the region, such as Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
The rise of China and the United States' response to it have led to increased tensions in the Indo-Pacific region. These tensions are likely to continue in the years to come, as the two countries compete for influence in the region.
Here are some of the factors that have contributed to the rise of the Indo-Pacific concept:
  • The growing economic and strategic importance of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
  • The rise of China as a major power.
  • The decline of the United States' relative power in the region.
  • The increasing importance of maritime security in the region.
  • The need for a more comprehensive approach to security in the region.
The Indo-Pacific concept is still evolving, and it is unclear how it will be defined in the future. However, it is clear that the concept is becoming increasingly important as the world becomes more interconnected.

Silent bullying.....
Many of the articles, shared here on Researchgate, link bullying to violence and aggression.
But bullying can be non-aggressive and non-violent.  Are we ignoring/leaving out work on silent and quiet bullying?
What do you think?
Relevant answer
Answer
I think the discussion about "silent" bullying is much needed. In my research on Swedish secondary school pupils' (11-12 years of age) school experiences, pupils raise awareness of the importance of friends at school, but also – and somewhat contrary – of the hurtful experiences of feeling very lonely and socially isolated in school. School loneliness/social isolation is described by the interviewed pupils either as bullying, or as closely connected to bullying, but which is not so easily recognized as bullying, nor by teachers or by their peers. I argue that the potential failure to recognize school loneliness/social isolation as bullying (or at least as closely intertwined with bullying), on the one hand may relate to the ways school bullying has been defined, i.e., as intentional aggressive acts of physical and verbal acts of aggression. I argue that this, still common definition of bullying, may entail that pupils’ experiences of social isolation (which does not necessarily involve aggressiveness and/or where intentional harm-doing cannot easily be pointed out) risks being left unnoticed, and thus, being made invisible. However, I am currently working on in-depth interviews with school staff about their experiences of working with school loneliness/socially isolated pupils, with which I hope to shed some more light on aspects of silent bullying in schools, as well as the perceived possibilities/difficulties associated with social isolation, school loneliness, and silent bullying which also go beyond aspects of how school bullying has come to be defined.

In developing countries violence is one of the most important determinants of trauma. Some patients recurring this situation are usually implicated in delinquency (or poses history of criminality). Is there any way to measure the degree of criminality in a clinical setting?
Relevant answer
Answer
Clinical tools and assessments can measure patients' criminality or risk of criminal behaviour. Forensic psychology and psychiatry use these tools to address legal issues and mental health-law issues. The Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) is used to diagnose psychopathy and antisocial personality disorder. This tool evaluates impulsivity, deceitfulness, and criminal history to determine a person's future criminal risk. The Violence Risk Appraisal Guide (VRAG) is another clinical tool that assesses violent behaviour risk. This tool evaluates age, substance abuse history, and criminal history to predict future violent behaviour. These assessment tools are not foolproof and should be used with other clinical assessments and observations. These tools should be used with ethical and legal safeguards to avoid unfairly stigmatising or discriminating against patients based on assessment scores.

There is evidence to show that physical space contributes to violence. I investigated police housing in Uganda and how it contributes to sexual violence against women and girls. The main factor was shared accomodation. Police officers left their civilian wives in the shared room with male officers who were not on night duty. This resulted into rape of women and defilement of the young girls.
You can Google and look at my findings.
The title of the journal paper is Police Housing: An instigator of sexual violence against women and girls in Uganda.

Every country runs several welfare programs and schemes still it is seen in large number of countries the poverty is not getting reduced but instead rising . The gap between rich and poor is widening and wealth is getting concentrated. The politicians prime interest seems to be not service of society and welfare but regaining and remaining in power and for which lot of money and muscle is needed. The perquisites given to politicians and bureaucrats are several times more than the per capita income of citizens. There are fundamental structural defects in management of primary economic activities like agriculture and distribution of agriculture products. It seems theories of economics does not work on ground and look good in books. It is need of time to fundamentally alter the political and economic systems in countries and on global level. There are too many association, institutions and welfare organizations who conduct only meeting with little results on grounds. There looks to be strong nexus between capitalist politicians and bureaucrats. Can we identify some basic strategies to ameliorate the situation. The existing social and political systems are failures. A cursory look at various conflicts going on in several country points to possible sponsoring of terrorism and unrest by this powerful political capitalist nexus.

I am seeking suggestions / articles about Durkheim, and how he placed violence in his framework. More precisely: articles that question how he would have placed disruptive violence (c.q violence that cannot be placed as a functional within his vision of a cohesive and interdependent societies.) For example: how would he have explained or placed genocide in his school of thoughts?
Relevant answer
Answer
Anthonie Holslag This is a very interesting question and led me to read about Durkheim on Wikipedia. I have not studied sociology so my views are that of a layman on this subject.
He lived more than 100 years ago and tried to makes sense of the workings of society. We live in a very different world now where the internet and television and media in general have had a profound effect. This in terms of the financial management of the economy and in terms of the influence on the individual.
I do take your point about genocide: It would seem that the idea of social norms and standards and a social conscience should prevent genocide.
Why it has failed to do that on several occasions during the last 100 years is then a good question. I think a major factor is the failure of international society to deal with dictatorship.
Durkheim was on favour of standards of social conscience and if this were applied today we would see a much greater role the United Nations in preventing dictators. The USA amended its constitution in the 1950s to limit the term of a leader to a total of 10 years. The UN should be setting guidelines for a.written constitution for every country to follow to avoid extended terms of office which inevitably lead to conflict.
In the time of Durkheim, the primary means of social cohesion was religion. This is not helpful internationally as religious differences are more likely to lead to conflict and even genocide.
What we need are guiding principles that we can all share:

First, I will be exploring the root causes of civil war from 1982-2014. What are the difference contexts and greivances that trigger the civil war?
As the main conflict essentially ended in 2014 with a ceasefire, I will then go on to explore how that ceasefire was initiated and access the effectiveness of the stabilization/nation-building elements within this ceasefire period.
However, despite ceasfire in place, low-level violence remains and the problem seems to be unresolved. This leads me to my last part, why the previous ceasefire manage to successfully end the war, but not mitigating the unrest in the region altogether. In other words, why is 2014 ceasefire successful in reducing violence but why the major problems unsolved leading to current low-level violence in Senegal? In short, this last part will explore why 2014 ceasefure is not perfect?

Dear colleagues, I need your help to reflect on the following questions. I'm engaging in research project concerned about experience of countries in the mechanisms of overcoming violence and divisions in their past politics. All countries have gone through some sort of violent past, how have they reconciled with their past and each other? In cases where they had not established commissions or gone through processes that were explicitly named 'reconciliation', how did they manage to come to state of peace, democracy and development? It is my pleasure also if you can suggest me literature related to this issue.
Relevant answer
Answer
Various interpretations of the causes and roots of violence are thanks to narratives and competing myths (and myths are “strangely impervious to facts”). It is the most challenging task, as it raises questions of accountability, and all parties, of course, see themselves as just. Instead of asking why should be asked what made it possible? Mapping an ideology that lies behind the conflict is a crucial task (at least in the former Yugoslavia region). Experts generally agree that the reconciliation and peacebuilding process should be all levels of society involved. Lederach explicitly states that “peacebuilding must be undertaken simultaneously at many levels of society. At the same time, Bar-On observes that “top-down processes and bottom-up is difficult to reconcile due to the lack of a common language and social perspective.” In fact, in the region of the former Yugoslavia, peacebuilding processes have so far not been initiated from the highest level of decision-makers decisions in governments and parliaments.

To clarify, your hypothesis suggests that a correlation exists between moral distress and police violence causality? Or that a correlation exists between moral distress and documented police violence?

Two, identify who is the subject of the "moral distress". For example, alleged victims of the "police violence"? Non-primary victims who may merely observe "police violence", etc.

The Management of Aggression and Violence Attitude Scale (MAVAS) was used to identify staff perceptions about the causes and management of aggression and violence. Previous research has validated the 30-item MAVAS in comparing the views of mental health nurses and psychiatric in-patients as to the causes and management of patient aggression and violence.
Despite well-established validity and reliability in the inpatient mental health setting, the psychometric properties of the MAVAS have not been evaluated in the emergency department (ED) setting. A study explored and compared the attitudes held by staff and patients in a forensic mental health service about aetiology and management of aggression and violence reported very little overlap between their findings and the proposed four-factor structure.
Furthermore, the original survey questions were designed for a mental health setting where seclusion was used, however seclusion is not used in EDs. To ensure the MAVAS is applicable in the ED setting, we had replaced the word ‘seclusion’ with ‘security’ in three items of the MAVAS. We have also changed the scale from a 100-mm visual analogue scale to a 4-point Likert Scale (1=Strongly agree, 4=Strong disagree).
We would like to test the factor structure of the MAVAS tool within a new population (ED service users and staff) in order to verify its factor validity in this population. A confirmatory factor analysis on the ED staff and consumers sample is planned to assess the reliability of the modified version of MAVAS in the ED setting. But we don't have AMOS, can we do this analysis using SPSS or other softwares? What is the best way to test the factor structure? Thanks!

Question

I'm currently developing a project looking at instances of cultural and symbolic violence towards nature, whether this creates/contributes to stigma, and how it compares to, or causes, physical violence (i.e farming of livestock, crushing insects due to fear). Particularly interested in snakes and spiders as used to symbolise an evil, violent, or manipulative trait in a human, or other sentient antagonistic force in a piece of fiction.
Seeking to answer questions such as:
Is our use of certain creatures to represent these things in any way unethical?
What does symbolic violence towards 'strange' creatures indicate about our tendencies to do this with differential prejudice towards humans? And is challenging symbolic violence towards living creatures necessary on all levels to combat it between human groups?
So, does anyone have recommendations for reading on this? And, are there any available studies analysing the impact of nature representation on societal approach to specific animals?
Thanks,
Connor

Interesting that in the film based on Hermann Hesse's novel, Siddhartha, it is a cobra which kills Siddhartha's beloved wife, though snakes were considered holy and wise in some versions of theology. Also interesting is that the Rod of Asclepius- Ράβδος του Ασκληπιού - emblem of healing for medicine is a snake (not to be confused with the caduceus which also has a positive connotation as the staff of Hermes). The myth of Tiresias has him changing genders when he strikes and wounds snakes as they are mating, and then switches back with the when he witnesses them again seven years later-- all this leading to him being blinded by Hera when he reports on which gender more enjoys sexual pleasure. Snakes were autochthonous- "sprung from the earth" - much as Athena sprang from Zeus's thigh. They had wisdom. Obviously also snakes and dragons as well as rats are somewhat revered or at least respected in Chinese astrology, since all 3 creatures have zodiacal years. The moral of all this may be that it is an ill wind that blows no good and that, as with humans, there are powerfully positive and negative individuals in all species. Cross-cultural influences shared by ancient Hindu, Greek and Egyptian mythology (Hermes Trismegistus) may have many antecedents in earlier Mesopotamian mythology as well- the caduceus may have originated with the Sumerian god Ningishzida, god of the underworld and the autochthonous vegetation which sprang.therefrom. By the way, lest anyone be under the delusion that I knew all this before I started writing, I owe huge thanks to Wikipedia for all but Hesse's novel and the myth of Tiresias. I confused the caduceus with the rod of Ascepius like many others in the USA, including health organizations who use the caduceus with its two snakes rather than the rod with its single snake and is entwined around a more primitive staff.

I have reviewed some articles, for example from Anderson and Bushnam (2002,2017) on the subject. Generally, it is stated that "violence is a form of extreme aggressiveness".
I do not agree with this differentiation. Considers that violence is a form of aggressiveness with an instrumental and planned nature. I would like to know your opinion
