Abstract
It is the second decade of the twenty-first century, and since the end of World War II, the world has not seen a single day of peace. We are writing this chapter bearing in mind fresh media reports on a tragic massacre that took place in Nairobi, we observe the unrest in Egypt with concern, and every day we are being fed with new images of violence flowing straight from a lack of tolerance. The level of cruelty that people inflict on each other is striking, especially when we think about the extent of creative acts that humans are able to perform. On the one hand, people constantly develop their own culture, civilization and themselves, however on the other hand, they can ruthlessly destroy everything.
