Mind has been found to be the creation of the human brain. Several scientific studies have revealed the specific roles of the different segments of the human brain. These studies also show that several aspects human behaviour are specifically strengthened by the process of learning through social conditioning, which has cultivated love and affection for one another, in the different segments of the brain. Absence or reduction in such social conditioning results in the presence of violence related behavior. Absence of such social conditioning is seen among several segments of human beings, which have instigated violent behaviour in them. It is essential that efforts are made to desirable emotions and responses through such social conditioning, which may be absent or weak, in several segments of human beings.
