We are told not to fight in school, and school officials do their level best to enforce this upon the student body as much as possible. This certainly seems sensible since the primary purpose of school is to learn, and learning isn’t going to occur when students are fighting. Further to the point, fighting is not a proper way to deal with conflict resolution, and those who are in authority want to emphasize that before we decide that we are going to fight, or that we believe it's right to fight, there should be a serious attempt to calm things down, and to let the better angels of our nature to take over.
That said, none of that really seems to matter, because we learn from our elders and we certainly learn from the conduct of our nation, and because the United States is the sole superpower in the world, of which, rather than to deal with conflicts maturely and diplomatically, it seems to prefer to skip that perceived sort of weak resolution, and just go straight to the flexing of its muscles again and again. So then, the one thing that you could say about the United States and its military force, which is used all over the world, is that the United States proudly believes that might makes right, and proves that point emphatically to recalcitrant countries repeatedly.
This would seem to imply that since the United States military imposes its will upon sovereign nations worldwide, in which the vast majority of those nations suffering from that will, have no true defense to such wanton aggressions -- that the bullying of other nations through our miliary might, seems to be something that the United States believes it has the right to impose upon any nation of its choosing, and further that no other nation has the right to tell the United States that it cannot. This signifies for those who don’t seem skilled at conflict resolution in school or in society that fighting is the American way, and since that is true, they may as well start practicing in school.
Indeed, the reason that this country is domestically so violent and leads all other Western nations of similar background in domestic violence by a large margin has a lot to do with how bellicose and violent America is when dealing with other nations that aren’t kowtowing to its demands. That certainly makes sense, since violence has a way of begetting more violence, ad nauseam. So then, since this is the American way, the United States may as well forget about emphasizing peaceful means to conflict resolution and get right to the meat of the matter, which seems to stipulate that we ought to train our children to be warriors, and when so trained as warriors they will bring that to their persona, and hence we will help to create an even more violent nation, trained in the art of fighting, which will mesh well with what America already represents in reality to the outside world.
