After reading this article I feel about the same as I did
before. This article in my opinion was correct about almost everything they
talked about. It is almost common sense
to know that most of the murders or killings we have were cause because of
males. Males sometimes feel a sense of manhood being lost and they feel they
should do something super irrational and act out in a way that makes them feel
like a man again. The main reason for males and females to have a wide difference
in killing or being killed, is age. “At age 10, males and females have an equal
probability of being murdered. But by the time men are into their 20's, they
become six times more likely to be murdered.”- statement from CNN news. At the
same time males also have a greater competitive drive than females do. It is a
natural instinct to be better than the next person. Being put into high risk
situations compels males to be the most macho manly man possible.
Giving mentally
unstable males, a competitive drive alone can be enough to spark a flame that
could get out of hand but as soon as you add guns it gets twice as easy. When people
get together and add drugs, alcohol, and guns it almost always ends in a
conflict. So us as males should be more careful in choosing the situations we
get ourselves in. We also need to be careful when picking the people we
surround ourselves by. "After I picked up the handgun," he explained,
"I brought it back to my room and felt a new sense of power. Who's the
alpha male now, bitches?" this is a quote out of the article I read. That alone
makes me feel like I should have trust issues.
