We live in a remarkably peaceful society. Over the course of human history, no period has seen less death, famine, war, and plague than we have right now.
Of course, this is no reason to get complacent.
Real violent people are living in our world right now. Due to the prosperity of the 80's and 90's, our world has actually gotten drastically safer. Through the new millennium, these trends continued.
But things appear to be changing.

It's very important that you use your best weapon: Your brain.
Chances are that if you say no to drugs, pick your friends carefully, and live in low crime areas, you will not encounter much violence. We can't avoid crime at all times no mater what we do. At some point, a dirt-bag will find you.
It's up to you to train yourself for the potential violence you may encounter. Learn what skills work for your body type. Add some fitness to the mix and you should be able to survive an ugly encounter!
