MASS VIOLENCE IN AMERICA by Karen Larson, Professor of Anthropology and Interdisciplinary Studies. Mass violence in America is an ongoing challenge to both American security and the American psyche. Whether the violence is perpetrated by foreign terrorists, as in the case of 9/11, by domestic terrorists such as Ted Kaczynski, Tim McVeigh, or John Muhammad, or in American schools or workplaces, as recently exemplified by the shooting spree of Cho Seung-hui, it is clear that the relationship between American culture and mass violence must be considered and addressed.
