Problem
A Case of Interpersonal Aggression
Describe an instance of interpersonal aggression that you have observed, heard about, read about, or viewed on film or video. Make the case that supports or does not support influences on the behavior (including the evolutionary case for the behavior). Address whether you think that multiple explanations for a behavior can co-exist. Can more than one explanation apply to the example that you have chosen? If not, why not? If so, why?
Task
a) Demonstrate an understanding of issues related to the concepts of aggression, violent behavior, social learning theory and the evolutionary case for aggressive action.
b) Critically analyze, compare and contrast research related to concepts of aggression, violent behavior, social learning theory and the evolutionary explanations for aggressive action.
c) Use real-life scenarios to apply the concepts of aggression, violent behavior, social learning theory and the evolutionary case for aggressive action.
