According to these authorities, "Public debates, as well as criminal trial defences, revolve around the use, meaning and consequences of violent actions. Often the subjective meanings of violence, and the social and political contexts within which violence arises, are contested and contestable. The meanings of violence are socially constructed" (emphasis added) (Kuper & Kuper 2004, p. 1048). Conclusion

While these socially constructed explanations are clearly important to understanding violence, including how it can affect those involved and what may cause it, they do not come face-to-face with the issue of whether violence per se would continue to exist in a world without humans around to create the social constructions that strong social constructivists insist...

Certainly, there are plenty of examples of violence in nature that would continue without humans, and nature has proven time and again that wherever there is something to eat, there will be something there to eat it. Violence, like the sun or the moon, is a fact of any kind of life, human or not, and humans do not need to be involved for it to exist.
