Where I used to work I was involved in the Safety program and was involved in investigating Injury incidents. As such you quickly find that when asked the question "How could this incident have been prevented?" that you can never just address the immediate cause of the injury to get to prevention of future injuries. You have to go back and look at activities that have occurred sometimes quite long ago to find a preventative action.
A simple point to make is that most people learn to control their tempers when they find that it is nonproductive. Childs tempertantrum in store comes to mind. Give in or stop it? Which decision tends to lead to road rage?
As others have noted "Armed societies tend to be polite societies" because of the feedback that temper tantrum brings. You do not know if your temper tantrum will be rewarded or punished and that uncertainity brings politeness.
As to fist fight, I am reminded of smallish statured cousin who got in a bar fight with a larger statured imbiber. Cousin got in lucky punch and larger person went down. Unfortunately for cousin larger person hit head on barstool and expired. Cousin spent time in prison just from a simple fistfight. Color me simple but I do not relish idea of fistfight to settle anything. If you get off on fighting there a any number of groups which have fighting as sport.
