Kind of a simplistic view. There is more war, more death, more violence then at any time.
100% false. We are actually living in very peaceful times.
Homicide rates, rape , genocide etc through out the world are at record lows. There is fighting in the ME but in a nutshell not that any people are dying.
It only seems like times are worse because we have the internet. 1-2 people getting killed by a jihadist would have never made the papers 40 years ago.
China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Burma etc had huge genocide/internals strife and wars and they are all now peaceful
My sisters Catholic grade school teacher in the 70's raped and strangled 2 of his young girl students. No one outside 30 miles where we live heard of it. Today it would have made The Daily Mail, internet chat sites.
The US murder rate for 2015 is at a 51 year low according to the FBI report which just came out in June.
