There are other democracies, First World democracies, allies of the USA that do not have this level of violence within its borders. Japan has none of these problems. Australia has a very tamed, but, very macho society. The problem here is the market share this country brings to any one marketing trash.
Americans need to discover and appreciate the arts. Museums, operas, antiquing, wood working, and expand the culture into being worth billions. Go see a play by the local theater company. There is too much focus on what sells rather than what is sincerely CULTURE. The current 'market' in the USA taps into PRIMAL instincts of fear. It is a positive feedback loop and profits of companies prove it.
Local economies should be humming with artists and their art forms. The USA needs to rehab their idea of fun. Americans need to value the dollars they spend as support for their community rather than profits for corporations willing to have a violence based entertainment and recreation industry. It may not be an easy pivot for some citizens, but, it is necessary one.
I saw a Swedish film once. No subtitles and if there was it didn't matter for as well as it was done. I am trying to remember the name of it. It was a thriller. The subject of the film was a female child vampire and her life with the care of her grandfather. It kept me on the edge of my seat. It was an incredible film. It was suspenseful, but, there was no blood and gore. The girl in the film was actually a sympathetic figure, too. It is not necessary to have violence in a society when the filmmaker or producer is a sincere artist and can capture the imagination.
