Contributing factors to the violent behaviour in various social contexts

In the first part of this article, we present an analysis of the concept of violent behaviour in various social contexts and in the international sociological literature. In the second part, we approach the concrete factors that favor the manifestation of violence in different conjunctures, in Romania and in the world, as there is the problem of consequences determined by the widespread mentality of acceptance / tolerance of the domination of masculinity in social life, but also the problem of excessive popularization of the violence subculture through the media. The perspective of the increased incidence of social violence is also addressed as an effect of the chronic phenomenon of poverty in certain types of families. The data and information used come from international and national sources as WHO, UN or NIS Bucharest, but also from the scientific results of the authors who belong to the Research Institute for Quality of Life, Romanian Academy, Bucharest.
