I suppose so. I'd like to think most people are fundamentally good, or attempt to do the right things in life. Maybe a lot of where that goes wrong is down to circumstances, i really don't know.

As a 'default' setting I don't think it's beneficial for an individual to be aggressive towards another. I remember reading about a theory on why strangers say "hello" to eachother only when they meet out in the countryside or a remote location. They're in a vulnerable situation and it's safer to make a friend than an enemy, basically.
