I have reviewed some articles, for example from Anderson and Bushnam (2002,2017) on the subject. Generally, it is stated that "violence is a form of extreme aggressiveness".
I do not agree with this differentiation. Considers that violence is a form of aggressiveness with an instrumental and planned nature. I would like to know your opinion
He revisado algunos artículos, por ejemplo de Anderson y Bushnam (2002,2017) sobre el tema. En general, se afirma que "la violencia es una forma de extrema agresividad". No estoy de acuerdo con esta diferenciación. Considera que la violencia es una forma de agresividad de naturaleza instrumental y planificada
Violence is usually an act or physical behaviour, whereas aggressivness is usually associated with non physical behaviours.
Lisandra Angulo - Aggression is a human behavior that is found in all human beings and shown through abusive language, damage to objects and property, assault on self and others and violent threats to others. In general, all behavior that can potentially harm others is included in aggression. Violence is aggression in action. It is defined as physical assault with intent to harm or injure others. However, all aggression does not lead to violence, but intent to harm others remains at the root of violence. Child abuse is the most destructive form of violent behavior shown by parents and other care givers.
The World Health Organization defines violence as "the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation." While aggressive behavior can cause physical or emotional harm to others. It may range from verbal abuse to physical abuse. However, in my view, they are similar in a way of an individual's actions that relates to physical behavior.
La diferencia no puede ser que la violencia es un acto fisico, porque en la definicion tambien se habla de violencia psicologica, amenazas, etc. Para mi la diferencia esta en la planificacion e intencionalidad, digamos que la agresion proactiva o instrumental pudiera ser la violencia, no incluyendo los autos de autodefensa ante amenaza, pues los mecanismos psicofiosiologicos no son iguales. Es decir que todo acto violento es agresivo, pero todo acto agresivo no es violento, que les parece???
Aggression is a natural instinct that man carries with him from birth and that he shares with animals. This instinct helps us to be alert, defend ourselves and adapt to the environment. Therefore aggressiveness is biological, instinctive and is regulated by neurochemical reactions. Thanks to culture, we modulate that aggressive instinct and turn it into a social instinct.
Violence is not a natural behavior of the human being, but rather a cognitive and sociocultural product fed by social roles, values, ideologies, symbols, etc. Violence is, therefore, a learned behavior and with a great load of premeditation and intentionality (aggressiveness, on the other hand, is unconscious). Violence is the transformation of aggressiveness to harm another human being. This violent way of acting does not exist in any other animal species, only in man. Violence generates social dysfunction, it is relational and utilitarian and we can find it in different areas, such as sexual abuse, family abuse, workplace bullying, school abuse, terrorism, war crimes, etc.
