There's many theories, but no general answer (considering the fact there are almost 7 billion people, no one can have the same reactions)

Generally, violence leads to violence for several reasons, all of them involving a "need" to have or do something after a great/continued shock.

Here are some examples of why violence caused others to create more violence.

1: The thought "if my life sucks, your life should suck too"

When someone receives a great physical shock (ex: rape or getting beaten by a group) some people go into a state of despression, which leads to hatred for the world as the world did nothing to help them. In a sense, this turns people into cynics or nilihists who either physically or verbally abuse others as they believe others should suffer as much as them. A variation is where abused people actually begin to enjoy giving pain to others.

2:The classic "you crossed the line"

When people are pushed to the limits, people eventually "snap". Just like the quote "a cornered mouse can bite", even the most timid person as a breaking point. Once you bully them far enough, the victims will get back at the people who tormented them-except the victims will come with knives, guns, or local gangs. This is a key factor in most school shoot-outs; the shooters often had a history of being bullied.

Is viewing violence on tv good outlet for one's aggressive tension and therefore decreases the tendency to be aggressive in the long run?

No viewing violence is not a good outlet for aggressive tension because as many people watch it, what happens to some people is that the violence conflicts the person, so that in the future the person would like to get their anger and agression out using violence (like fighting) and that could lead to much more. It can strt like that and lead o something big, and turn you into an aggressive person. So no viewing violence is not a good outlet for aggressive tension. Hope this helped!
