Freud perceives aggression as been a universal human behavior. Suppressed by the superego we are relativetly unware of its presence. Social circumstance, cultural surrounding and the environment plays a major role on how it is recalled to our conscious. For example a person with a strong infuencial moralistic codes is less likely to act aggressive because he or she might be brought into a setting that does not tolerate violence.
Brandura emphasize primary on the nature of behavior , driven by conscious goals and motives.
Most people involved in criminal or aggressive situation have motives solid intention of harming others. sometimes some people go as putting together a master plan of what how they want to achieve their goals. .
I will not take side in this matter mainly because I believe both men produce about 50/50 correct answer to this theory. Freud is absolutely correct about aggression as been universal and unconscious. All living things are create with a defence mechanism. Animals are aggressive toward others in defence of their territory and lives. Human being are more civilize and time to time can rationalize with these urges. When an individual feels betrayed by society or another person he or she ignores all and eventually behave too like an animal. I believe aggression is a pre-program instinct., furthermore it is also learn from others, such as parents and society.
September 11th is a perfect example of people with motives and intention to kill even if takes their lives. These people were not born with the ability harm others, rather they learned it from someone who influenced their behavior. Another factor that drive people to act aggressive is poverty. Hungry man have not senses for the authority or the law. It is very easy to infuence a person's mind especially when they have nothing to look foward to.
There are so many things I would like to say to the leaders of our country, but I know regardless of what I think nothing will ever change.
