it can be a result of both. some people are born with an agressive manner and others learn it due to some kind of incedent

All right everyone...

Modern psychological research explicitly says traits like aggression are both inherent from genetics and learned behavior.

That is the established, tested science right now so there you go.

Anything else is just empty philosophy.

damn dude i was gonna say that. wouldnt have sounded that good though...lol. i agree 100% but i would like to add that the hard part is figuring out how much of a violent persona comes from nature and how much from the social environment, experiences etc. it will vary from person to person.

In female fruitflies, they fight with headbutts and shoves, whereas the males prefer boxing and lunges. They isolated the gene that caused this behavior. They then switched the gene around between genders, and found that the fighting styles changed with it. Interesting stuff.
can you tell me if that was the january issue?
