Why is humanity so destructive?

Question

Why do humans have the tendency to destroy things(going to war, killing, and ruining).

Answer 1

It's called Politics & Greed. Regards UK

Answer 2

If you mean, why do we have psychopaths in society? Well, in most situations it's because of a vicious cycle of rage, often abuse, which grants people the capacity to commit atrocity, besides natural occurrence of brain tumors which cause personality change and chemical imbalance which cause mental disorders.

We are destructive as mankind because we divide ourselves with greed and competitiveness. Instead of realizing we are one we ruin each other because we're on some constant quest to conquer the other person in hopes that we'll be lifted to some extraordinary place. Ahh, if you look on the bad side, you'll see what a hectic world of chaos we live in - this corrupt society.

Answer 3

It is the way humans became the dominant species on this planet.  And so, is embedded in our genetic endowment.  When humans have nothing else to destroy, we destroy each other.  It is our ruthlessness, combined with our caring and adaptability which has allowed us to thrive.  Unfortunately, the ruthlessness remains with us, even though it no longer serves a real purpose.

Answer 6

There is really no reason just natural for some people for leadership, to rule,to be the only leader, and most people are greedy they cant just accept that their alive and leading others to die, killings are in all species, humans just have emotions and guns.

Answer 7

It is the combination of our intelligence and animal instincts. The human is the most intelligent creature on this planet, but we are still part of the animal kingdom. We have the same survival urges as any other animal. We seek dominance, s*x, and food just like our furry friends. Our intelligence just enables us to make killing easier. Its a lot easier to pull a trigger or launch a missile than it is to kill someone with your bare hands. The destruction is unfortunate, but look at all the great stuff we as humans are capable of. We have shown acts of heroism and sacrifice that animals aren't emotionally capable of. The good and bad balance out in the long run. Either way we learn and progress.
