The Trauma Of Aggression Analysis

The effects of war are devastating for those who experience it. The wake of destruction left behind by bloody conflicts can traumatize any onlooker; those who face the fighting firsthand are often permanently affected by the horrors they witness. Frequently, combatants require special treatment for the psychological torment that can follow intense fighting. Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five explores the harmful effects of isolation, imprisonment, and oppression through a soldier’s perspective.

War is something that is inevitable; it is something that cannot be stopped, something that is destined to happen. No one can really explain what a war is like without being in one, for none of those people can feel the pain and anguish of losing their family in a time of crisis, or running away in order to save their life. But when Ishmael Beah shares his story of the war he was in, Beah is able to describe the war in Africa in his memoir, A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier, in such a way that is truly astonishing and is “a breathtaking and […] a truly riveting memoir” (Belinda Luscombe, Time).

a child has been seriously harmed following a violent assault perpetrated by another child or an adult;

Well violence can ruin your whole entire life real fast because some people can control their actions when they are mad. Like in the short story we read about the uncle wanting to find his nephews killer in a very dangerous place where there’s gangs. His killer was put of a gang and is very dangerous! Even though the uncle use to be part of a gang it would still be pretty dangerous but he didn’t care because he was so mad and just wanted revenge on his nephews killer. He wasn’t think about himself in this situation because he wasn’t thinking about how this guy would have other guys protecting his side.

One quote that describes the villainous nature of men given incentive to execute hideous crimes was “‘Do you have any last words to say?’ The old man at this point was unable to speak. His lips trembled, but he couldn’t get a word out. The rebel pulled the trigger, and like lightning, I saw the spark of fire that came from the muzzle” (Beah 33). This simile is used to improve the sentence and show how the people are truly inhumane in their ways. However, previously in the page, they were described as teenagers around the age of Ishmael, his brother, and their friends. The Rebel United Front child soldiers were torturous to the old man before they killed him. They were cold and showed no emotion, informing the reader that they had done this many, many times before. This would never had happen previous to the war in Sierra Leone. This is shown by the quote, “Before the war a young man wouldn’t have dared to talk to anyone older in such a rude manner. We grew up in a culture that demanded good behaviour from everyone, and especially from the young. Young people were required to respect their elders and everyone in the community” (Beah 33). This shows how previous to the war children were respectful to all and because of the war, they are able to commit the worst crimes. Therefore, the young age of these boys and their terrifying savagery shows how anyone is capable of evil. "On other paths of the village were the half-burnt remains of those who had fought fiercely to free themselves, only to die outside. They lay on the ground in different postures of pain, some reaching for their heads, the white bones in their jaws visible, others curled up like a child in a womb, frozen" (Beah 94-95). This quote shows the atrocities that the young children are able to commit because of their horrible circumstances. This is reinforced later

The second Sudanese Civil War in Sudan forced millions of innocent people to flee their homes and families in search for safety. Doing so, many got displaced or killed because of starvation, genocidal murder and bomb raids. Those who survived were sent to a refugee camp in Kenya and some - the “lost boys”- a name given by aid workers at the camp, had the fortune to be sent by the United States to America to start a new life. Among these were Panther Bior, John Bul Dau, and Daniel Abol Pach, whose life was documented in God Grew Tired of Us. Furthermore, the documentary explores the lives of the Lost Boys of Sudan and their journey as they learn to adapt to the American Life, a life much better and advanced than the oppressed life they lived. The directors, Christopher Dillon Quinn and Tommy Walker, aim to show how the boys cope with learning new customs, rules, trying to keep a job, amongst other things, all while doing the best they can to stay rooted in their culture and help those they left behind in the refugee camp. With actual footage and relatable characters, the film sets a tone that evokes sympathy to viewers, thus relaying a need of action and validating his message of Americans’ forgetfulness and ignorance to their blessings.

The author uses imagery to show his readers that war changes the minds for those who are affected by it. Bob “Rat” Kiley, a young 19 year old soldier, was first exposed to the harsh cruelties of war when his best friend died right before his eyes. This quotes describes how he brutally mutilated a baby water buffalo out of anger for the death of his best friend. This visually represents how someone can succumb to the changing nature of war; someone as silly and outgoing as Kiley gave into his dark urges. This allows readers understand that war can expose a hidden nature within man, one that causes them to do horrendous acts themselves.

For many years, girls have been bullying other girls. However, this bullying isn’t usually physical like the type of bullying seen in boys. Girls tend to bully each other through types of alternative aggression. These alternative aggressions are invisible to most, except by the bully and the victim. Along with alternative aggression, girls use relational aggression to bully one another. They ruin each other’s social statuses, sometimes to raise their own. Girl bullies are sneaky, they find ways to avoid confrontation. These girls will cyberbully and gang up on someone with other girls. Girls know how to sneak around and have awful outcomes.

Keep a tally of how many times men post and how many times women post. Who tends to post more often? Remember to make sure you are looking at the whole class, not just one discussion thread or group.

On 03/18/2017 at approximately 2132 hours, I was dispatched to 8340 Rd. 46 in the County of Montezuma, and State of Colorado for reports of a domestic disturbance.

Direct aggression is usually my typical style of communication when I involved in a conflict with others. It does not works most of the time. I have a short temper, so when conflict arise I would raise my voice and make inappropriate statements that later feel regretted. I acknowledge this is not an ineffective communication style at all I wish more assertive when handling conflict.

Movies can be dark. They can be devastating. They can be tragically sad, painfully colorful. Bright, burning, scarring. Yet, despite all that a movie can illustrate, movies made for the masses have boundaries on tragedy. They cannot show child rape; they cannot show a girl’s limbs being hacked off by a young boy. These images, while understood as descriptive writing in books, mark the edge of what viewers can subject themselves to in film. Film images can be ingrained in minds forever, while our imagination of similar scenes often remains a hazy, shifting, jumble of movements and face. As director of Beasts of No Nation, Cary Joji Fukunaga chose to make changes to the book through the inclusion of small additional scenes before the war, the added character of a big brother, and an additional final scene, to illustrate a version of Agu unseen in the book and in turn make the story more palatable to the average moviegoer. These changes, while they do not alter the general plot, give the story a more appealing trajectory.

For the reasons stated below, and based upon my independent investigation and the best interests of the children, I recommend the following to the court:

Everybody knows the effects of violence. The effects of violent behavior are generally bad. The causes are something very little known. Most people say that violent video games and television shows are the source of violence in our society but they are not the only source. There are many theories that try to explain what those causes are. Theories include, biological, macrosocial, and psychosocial.
