TEXT: Principles of Social Psychology, v. 1.0: Introducing Social Psychology Ch 9,10.

Forum Assignment for the Week: 300 Words minimum

For this week's Forum, respond to the following: Based upon your readings this week and upon your own observations, do you believe that there is any positive value to aggression (this can include both reactive and instrumental aggression, as well as relationship-based aggression, such as online bullying)? If you were "king/queen of the world," would you eliminate all forms of aggression? Why or why not?

Can any valuable life lessons be learned through being the victim of aggression, or is all aggression inherently harmful to both aggressor and victim?

Remember that all posts are graded for substance and thoughtful consideration of the forum topic.

General Instructions Applicable to All Forums:

Forums are scholarly dialogs, so while sharing what you think and not just what published authors wrote is encouraged, only stating opinion isn't acceptable. Instead, thoughtfully integrate relevant theory and research you read about this week and strive to make connections between that academic content and your own observations and experiences.

Source citation are required if used. Copying of published material, which is plagiarism, is prohibited and any instances of it, including forum posts, will result in a zero score without an option for re-submission to recoup lost points and a report sent to the Registrar's Office per University policy.

Discussion forum posts will be graded on verbal expression, critical thinking, making an effort to not just participate in but contribute to the dialog with initial and reply posts of a substantive nature commensurate with graduate level studies.

Posts must have correct grammatical construction, spelling, and punctuation with no texting or other casual style language.
