Document Summary
Social psychologists that study aggression and consider it their field; missing most important part. Aggression is behavior every society worries about because they don"t like aggression. It means people are breaking the norm, they"re being aggressive. Because society has norms about how and when you should practice it. Thus, aggression and sexually are always big issues in society including our own. Because society has well defined norms about aggression, need to look at norms to determine what to do about it. Means all of us have some aggression in us that we would actually break the norm, and be aggressive, so much so that we do it anyways. When society says don"t be aggressive and we keep being aggressive, means aggression and sexual behavior is hardwired in us and hard to stop. Blue shirt- if society says don"t wear it, you don"t. We need to learn how to motor behavior.
