How does society change when so many have their lives threatened?
Whether citizen, or soldier, millions upon millions of people have had someone try to kill them. How does a society evolve when people live with the fear that someone tried to kill them, and might succeed?

Good quetion.
I myself have been threated by others with death.
For me, I fear going outside anymore because I feel like the neighborhood thugs will either rob me or kill me. My sisters boyfriend was mugged at a gas station, and my best friend and her boyfriend were mugged and beaten for 5 bucks :/ (the list goes on, but id rather not say…).
When I was a kid, I used to go out and play in the streets. Now, I fear the thought of going out… Many fear the thought of going to war, the thought of getting on planes (hijackings), the thought of driving in traffic (people are known to run you off the road!), and so much more ):

Actually Evolution is driven by who dies.
If things weren’t trying to kill us, there would be no need to form Societies.
The threat of death make Society more cohesive. E.g. After 9/11 there was a period where petty disputes were put aside.

You need to defend yourselves.
Israel wandered for refusal to fight back.
Remember Joshua and Caleb were willing to go take the land.
