Aggression.
The source of aggression within humans is a long summative list, but before trying to understand its source one must apply a working definition of aggression. Aggression in Oxford dictionary means hostile behavior that launches attacks and initiates unprovoked hostilities. Aggression first started in the behavior of animals, and it transferred to human beings. Aggression is a critical part of animal existence, which is an inherent driving force to humans. In this essay, I will analyze the major sources of aggression in humans, expose its effects and provide some solution.
The first cause of aggression is the environmental factors. For example, parental pressure for their child to seek perfection in his/her life can cause aggression. In addition, children can be aggressive by being exposed to negative media like action movies or violent video game. Also, another main cause of aggression is stress in the social life. For example, a person is exposed to pressure at work can be aggressive, or a student who is filled with home works, assignments and studying for exams can feel the pressure and might lead to aggression.
To sum up, the causes of aggression are very awful and sad. However, the effects are even more tragic, hideous and horrible.
Aggression can effect in more than one way. First, youth can be more violent, and harm themselves and the people around them. Second, it can affect their grades by getting distracted from studying. And they might turn into criminals. In addition, it can develop psychological problems, and individuals might become incompetent, alienated and isolated. And it could lead to break up a marriage and divorce. That has a negative effect on children.
So what can we do to reduce aggression? Well, the best answer is to try hard to control anger and to change life style. However, the media should also stop exposing visual violence. Last but not least, people must start supporting themselves and the unfortunate people or groups
