This title is an acquisition.
Is human aggression a result of nature or nurture? Interviews with researchers from various fields--including a Nobel prize winner--shed light on the question.
Startling footage of children acting out their aggressive impulses adds to this compelling documentary that examines the complex factors that affect the socialization of aggressive behaviour among humans.
Biological, environmental and psychological components are addressed, and guidelines for the prevention of human violence are also provided.
