Actually, overemphasizing it because we don't know any better.  There's a 
documentary called Beyond the Gates of Splendor about missionaries in the 
1950's who go to this remote place in the Amazon.  The inhabitants there are 
the most violent people on earth.  They all carry machetes and they use them, a 
lot.  They in fact kill some of the missionaries but over time some of the 
remaining missionaries begin to live with them and basically teach them that 
there are other ways to live besides violence.  Over time these off this charts 
violent people become normal.  That's what humanity in general is like.  We 
just don't know there are other ways besides violence to live.  We believe we 
must hit children to discipline them, when it's the absolutely worst thing to 
do.  We even base our entire economy on the best ways to wipe out others.  Then 
we think it's the human condition, when all it is is ignorance.  Check out this 
Worldview interview.  The first segment, it's short.  A
 little off the subject but not really.

Are we not also neglecting the front of the child?
