Government [[censorship]] has sometimes addressed such violence in media but generally governments have relied heavily upon commercial interests to "self-regulate" their practice, by way of violence ratings. [http://www.peace.ca/sheet15.htm] Violent [[content]] continues to be a central component of video game revenues though critics argue that violence in games hardens children to unethical acts.

Competition is essential to social progress, but competition, unregulated, breeds violence. In current [[society]], competition is slowly displacing war in that it determines the individual's place in industry, as well as decreeing the survival of the industries themselves. (Murder and war differ in their status before the [[mores]], murder having been outlawed since the early days of society, while war has never yet been outlawed by mankind as a whole.)
The [[ideal]] state undertakes to regulate social conduct only enough to take violence out of [[individual]] competition and to prevent unfairness in [[personal]] initiative. Here is a great problem in statehood: How can you guarantee peace and quiet in industry, pay the taxes to support state [[power]], and at the same time prevent taxation from handicapping industry and keep the state from becoming parasitical or tyrannical?[http://urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper71.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper71.html&line=137#mfs]
