The Human Tendency for Conflict

In the absence of real conflict, societies tend to find or create conflict as a way to occupy themselves. This tendency might stem from a lack of exposure to significant external conflicts and a programmed inclination to seek out conflict. People often amplify minor issues into significant disputes because it is easier than dealing with real aggression. Establishing a nationally mandated morning run could potentially improve the overall attitude and well-being of a country by providing a constructive outlet for excess energy and aggression.
