Acutally, the chances are 'none'. Humans are incapable of living in such a society.

I would have to say people are scared and when people are scared they do stupid things. Violence is the answer they see because it eliminates the problem entirely in their mind.

I disagree. Technically, a society can be made up of two people, and even if the human race was only diminished to, say, fifty people, I think that they could live without violence. In fact, as long as the population didn't increase too much and a suitable government was put into place, I think that the society could go on for more than a century without violent outbreaks.

Of course, it is impossible for a society that exists forever to go forever without violence. That's inevitable, since, in eternity's time, someone in the society would have to become violent eventually. However, if the society ended after a few short years because of a disease or something like that, then it could go forever without violence.

The ironic thing is that I doubt we could ever have a peaceful society unless that society was created from a dramatic act of violence.

Utopias are impossible. Pure and simple.

Humans cannot live in a pure Utopia. There will always be crime, violence, killing and death. You cannot change Human nature.

People will kill for the smallest things, even a perfectly normal peaceful person will kill under the right circumstances, which is very likely.

When does violence bring peace ever even with a dramatic act of violence (crusades, ww1, ww2) we won't be a peaceful society because we don't understand peace yet. The only time there will be peace is when everyone can agree and that's gonna be tough.

even though there's no hope for utopia (by the looks of it) it can still be somewhat utopia however , I guess ppl do kill for
dum reasons and other reasons such as paranoia,poverty,illiteracy,racism ,aggresive natures all contribute to violent acts

6.6 billion people agreeing on one thing... Yeah, not going to happen.
