Doubtful, people are, after all animals. We are competitive, greedy, and willing to do most anything to survive. We are the worst animals on the planet, enough to get by, isn't good enough, we have to have an excess, and make sure there is always plenty. Some, also like the idea of having the most, so they can be self-important, and control what others get.
Society barely keeps the beast under control. When anarchy happens, say after a government falls, natural disaster, the beast in man, is released, full force. We are all born the same, being civil is something we must learn. Unfortunately, it's not taught as strictly as it was in the past. Criminals aren't punished as severely, or simply executed publicly as an example. Children are encouraged to think for themselves, rather than corrected when behaving badly.
Unfortunately, in order to remove the violent 'bad-seeds' from society, you'd would have to act violently yourself, so you could never actually completely remove the violence, or the species would be extinct.
