Female Domination
Male domination is common among primates including monkeys. But when the number of males increases, females become more strong and dominant. According to researchers, this new finding could true with humans. Male primates are usually larger than females, and it is easier for them to be stronger. But there are times where females dominate, for instance lemurs in Madagascar and macaques.
Findings support that these females are not larger than males, but they dominate due to odds. Chances of wining a fight by a female increases when male aggression is more intense and more males are defeated by other males. Therefore high-ranking females may be victorious over these losers. When females win a fight by chance, they grow more confident and win more fights, and eventually they dominate.

How War Affects Children
War tears the childhood happiness apart. According to the United Nations, children in 50 countries are currently growing up in the midst of war. When researchers asked few moral questions to these children, there was a whole new moral outlook found. When researchers questioned these children about the morality of stealing or harming someone. Although they grew up in an environment filled with homicide, theft and physical violence on daily basis, surprisingly, these children all said that stealing and harming others was wrong, morally wrong, even if everybody did it. But the children had a whole different view of right and wrong within the context of revenge. They will harm someone when it comes to revenge.
Fights, terrorism and all-out conflict are based in real or imagined scenarios where each side see themselves as victims. These children justified the reason for revenge. You have harmed me or those I love, so I can righteously harm you and yours which is a social context of tit-for-tat. These children are dragged into the complex network of revenge justice.
