All human beings are born with “Free Will”, which means we have freedom to choose to do or not to do something in our lives. However, there are many things in life that one has no control over, one of those is the family to which one is born and raised. However, that family happens to be among the most important social institutions and also has the most significant impacts on one’s entire life, for better or worse. If the foundation of life and society is dysfunctional or violent, it will have negative effects on other social institutions as well. The findings in this article, indicated that Classical Sociological Theory, which generally explained the reproduction of violence, were toned down with the transformation of social structure and social context in a “Post-Societal Phase”. In addition, this article reveals that humans could break free from victim mentality, “the toxic fruit of family violence”, which is constructed from violent experiences in childhood. Because humans are like fruits that come with “the seed of worthiness” which contains power within or have the potential to transform themselves and also the ability to create a better society.
