Nah... people have been killing each other since the dawn of time it is nothing new sadly.I think in general the level violence in this world is about the same as it has always been.
What is different in modern times is mass media and their desire to make money the way they make money is by attracting viewers the best way to attract viewers is by talking as much about what people fear the most which is why you see so much about this disease or that one or why you hear about this evil nation or that one.
The other thing that mass media knows is that many people are vicarious and they like to see and hear about nasty things from the safety of their living room.Combine these together and you have a news network and a lot of money.
