Types of aggressions in a man

The man can be more aggressive than the women? Yes, this aggressive conduct is developing on the childhood. We have to know everything about this to learn how we can avoid that our children develop this bad conduct.

An aggression is a hostile attitude, behavior, or attack. Is a disparity that children see like something normal. But is really bad for the future of them. I’m saying this because are reports that explain that are more delinquent males than females. Much of them are in prison for verbal aggression, fifty-four law or physical aggression. These types of aggressions are very likely to a common aggression. An aggression is not a game.

Other type of aggression is verbal. This aggression can be used to insult other person. Or too, for make damage to the auto deconstruction. Is the most violent aggression because plays with the mind of the victim. This can develop a nervous breakdown and psychological problems. Is prove that the aggressive conduct is link with the frustration. When this aggression is not enough to the aggressor, began the physical.

A physical aggression is an act of beat, knock or hit somebody. Everyone knows about cases were the victim is burned with the oven, with gasoline or with ice. Or other cases were the victim is cut in pieces and kept in a refrigerator. This type of aggression is very foolish because is passing from the hit or the beat to a homicide or murder. When a person lose control can be a maniac or a killer. And this is not a disease, but is tractable with physiologists or psychiatrists. Although, is not one hundred percent secure that everyone shows a improvement.

So, in conclusion I exhort to all the parents that are reading this to enjoy the childhood of their children. And bring them the tools to control their impulses.
