    Despite being wrong, some do attest to this kind of argument. Howard Bloom
    presents this argument in his 'The Lucifer Principle', for example, arguing
    that Moslems, for example, tend to be violent societies because they abuse
    their kids.

    If social violence occurs because of a single cause, it is most likely to be
    hierarchies, whether in the family, in the local community, or on the global
    scale. Hierarchies are not a product of child abuse, indeed it's more the
    other way around.
