This course will consider the many forms of aggression, both criminal and otherwise; its costs and motivation; its perpetrators and targets; it’s likely and unlikely locations; its impact on our schools, the children; and, most especially, its several causes and promising solutions.  Topics of interest will include violence and the challenges of raising and working with children; aggression in our classrooms; American youth gangs and their influence; past and future sports violence; locations of frequent violence; and the aggression-promoting role of alcohol, temperature, driving, television and other features of modern life.  The course also will answer questions such as:  Is aggression always bad?  How do aggressive thoughts lead to aggressive actions?  Is aggression, at least for some people, an addiction?  Does the victim contribute to being attacked?  Is dating a dangerous proposition?  How the acts of aggression are dealt with in other countries, and are there any lessons for America?
