As nexonal first stated, there are many reasons. Here’s one more. I am a faithful man who believes and has reconciled creationism and evolution. That said I believe hate has its origins in the need to survive. I also think racism and ethnic bias are tied neatly together with hatred. Think about it. Long before TV and nearly all other things of life today, early “humans” gathered in small groups, more like pacs of animals(hummm). They needed to, in order to survive and flourish. Imagine a pac, mostly family members, minding their own affairs. For months or years their activities go on. Then one day, they see, for the first time, a group of animals like no other. This group in fact is eerily similar to themselves. Then these new people ravage, rape, pillage and plunder their home. Fortunately or not, a few wittiness and survive.

Now, how trusting, excepting and welcoming to strangers do you think those who made it will be to the next group of “visitors”? I think not. I think hate.

Over time we have evolved, grown,developed and matured. We developed tools like shaking hands, originally with both hands, to show, prove we didn’t possess a weapon.
Ironically, blockchains implement, “Trust, but verify” . Weird right? All this time and we still face this.

There are too many reasons for hatred. So why we hate depends on that particular situation, which causes that hatred. However, a general reason could be said to be “we hate someone or something that makes us feel uncomfortable, painful or unhappy”. So, a child could hate someone who cuses him/her pain or sorrow, that’s why some children sometimes hate one or both of their parents, this often change with the time though. Ignorance and low level of education – not exactly academic education but personal development which includes moral principles– can be fertile ground where hatred is grown. Then, people’s level of education is one important factor for hatred. Here we touch the television –amongst the rest of mass media- a powerful factor which, instead of teaching love, understanding, harmony, etc. by presenting interesting, peaceful humane programes, most of the channels opt for teaching aggression, crime, violence, etc. We can see it every day and night in almost every program (detective stories, opera soaps, Shows, etc). Then we arrive at the question: Why should television chose promoting hatred instead of love? Although this is a complex question, the simplest answer is, because hatred produces much more money than love. Violence, crime, wars move more capitals than peace, love and harmony. Statistics show that the TV, by teaching and justifying misunderstanding among the peoples, helps in gereral to increase consumption and so the economic parameters. Thus, we can come to the conclusion that, when we hate, it is mostly due to a low educational level (evil conceptions, misunderstandings, prejudice, etc) which is promoted by those who lead the global economy through the television as a main factor of mass control.
