한국외대 Essay, Aggresion (강의후!)

Aggression. When we view the word ‘Aggression’, we think of two reasons. The first one is personal factors and the second is social ones. Some might people insist that personal factors make more aggression in terms of aggression being a kind of action that is carried out by individuals; nevertheless, other people might insist that aggression is influenced our society and the overall atmosphere that it gives to people. I have some specific reasons to explain and contrast these two types of aggression which I will develop and share as specifically as I can in the next following paragraphs: Personal Stimuli and Social Practice.   To begin with, aggression is carried out by an individual. A person tends to harm others in order to get some kind of benefit in a certain form. As a psychologist explains, this kind of behavior is due to the rapid development of humans. He explains that human instincts were used to hunting and surviving in harsh conditions and that human civilization had developed in a speed that our instincts were not able to change with it. Some people might disagree with this idea in terms of thinking that every person decides to do their actions and he or she doing such actions has the opportunity to decide. However, it is not a hard thing to figure out that people who received proper education from their parents are different from children who had not received such education. The educated ones know how to control themselves, be obedient and polite to their elders while the uneducated ones tend to make things go as they want it to be and always blame others for their faults. Furthermore, personal influences that effects aggression is certain stimulus. Certain stimuli tends to bring back horrible memories that people hold and make them mad enough to lose control of themselves and finally getting in aggressive actions. As we can see, personal factors that results aggression is instinctive and private. It might vary to each and every people. It is everyone’s job to respect others and themselves to achieve prevention of aggression by personal factors.           To continue with, social influences might cause aggression. There are two types of social aggression. The first one is aggression of practice, and direct aggression. The first one, aggression of practice, is basically a kind of aggression that is practiced with or without notice by images or feelings, thoughts that people often get. Tools such as the media often does the job to make people caught in certain images. Every people in this world are not free from the media. They are indeed somehow exposed to it by TVs, radios, Internet and even mobile phones. It provides explicit materials without any limits. Children who should be learning new things about the world and experience the green nature, watches a horror movie that shows thousands of people dying from wars and teenagers who should dream of their future, is addicted to pornographies. This phenomenon also happens to adults. Over advertised programs and hobbies make them lose their properties even their families. For example, a casino advertises that gambling is a simple and good hobby. However, the realistic side of gambling is its addiction. It makes people put in everything they’ve got to carry on gambling. In a case in China, a teenager aged 14 ended up hitting a pedestrian with a stick after playing a violent game for 4 days. To put this awfulness to an end, we have 2 kinds of solution: re-using the media to fight the media, and using laws to restrict explicit materials. Through the media, we can expose people to remember that they should respect other people. In dramas or movies, a scene showing anger and relieving anger by breaking objects or screaming at each other, should be changed to relieving anger by hobbies such as sports. For games or TV programs that children and teenagers often enjoy, violence should be inhibited. In these ways, we will be able to prevent aggression in our present world as well as in the future.   As a conclusion, there are two kinds of aggressions: personal and social. There are causes and reasons why such happening is in action. We can understand why such phenomenon is happening and we can also slowly practice ourselves not to be aggressive at all. If we all work hard to prevent it from our world, we can do it.
