You might find unique answers to your question on why men commit these crimes, and especially in times of war, in "The Dark Side of Men," exquisitely written by Michael
Ghiglieri, primate researcher and protege of Jane Goodall. Both as a sociologist and writer, I too have often pondered on this vexing question and sought answers that went beyond the sociological explanations of "socialization and conditioning." There is more at work here: biology and evolutionary forces, as Ghigliari contends, play a huge role in explaining innate male violence. His book does an excellent job in detailing the
"biological grim heritage" of the male species. I definitely came away with a better understanding of the mayhem in our world.
Is it any wonder Danes are the happiest people in the world?

Sadly, dumping of waste is another form neo-colonialism whereby these poor nations are victimized.
