A path to security for the world's deadliest countries
Summary
If we are asked where the world's deadliest countries are, we must answer Syria, Somalia and so on where civil wars occur.
However, Brazil, Venezuela, and the US are pointed up as the world's deadliest countries.
Those must be the countries where we couldn't believe it and the reasons for violence are a middle-income democracy with high levels of inequality and political polarization, so the nature of violence presents is changing every day without noticing.

Those lead to abandoning the notion that some lives are just worth less than others. For instance, someone raped or murdered, stolen, after those, people think easily that they deserve to do. This is devaluing of human life. Devaluing is that we barely admit even to ourselves and it is spreading.

Even now cities are at peace, we have to admit those more and we have to create societies in which the lives of innocents are safe. It means that we, ourselves, have to create. Therefore, we need more well-trained police, good politicians and good families. We need to start respecting them to protect other peoples' neighborhoods.
