Read the following paragraph and determine if the hypothesis is true:

But Columbine spoke to a larger issue. It's really a matter of culture. It's a culture that somewhere along the line we've begun to disrespect life. Where a child can walk in and have their heart turned dark as a result of being on the Internet and walk in and decide to take somebody else's life?

Hypothesis: as a whole the world respects life more than in columbine.
