We watch examples of violent responses/agressive behavior every time on television, sports, work argues, jams... etc. These human responses are learned? Our society is a school of these agreessive behaviors or simply these responses are samples of ours inherent instincts?

Are there scientific answers for that question?

We forget that we did not evolve in the environment we have now created for ourselves.
This might help to understand why when humans are put in stressful situations they revert to aggression, as this was a necessary response to a threat to survival.

If you ever find yourself in a serious threat situation, you will realise afterwards that you did things you never learned, and you did them without thinking.

Also, distasteful as it may seem, murder and rape is a successful strategy for a minority living in a comparatively peaceful tribal society. Hence a minority of people (men usually) are highly aggressive by nature.
This is supported by game theory and genetic inheritance theory.

After reviewing the solutions i'm undecided we are all conversing appropriate to the comparable factor. i'm interior the morality is taught camp, via fact the cannibalism argument exhibits. It additionally exhibits the version in what somewhat some cultures define as ethical. you would be able to argue consequently that if morality is a few thing that is defined, in a diverse way via diverse cultures, it won't be in a position to be an inherent human high quality. The abuse sufferer could agree i think of, considering that she went from being an unlucky sufferer via one ethical definition, to being victimized via yet another, differing definition of morality. An inherent human high quality could be that comparable in all human beings does no longer it? And the parent looking after a newborn occasion seems to be conversing approximately empathy, which i could argue is in step with danger an inane human function. no longer a valid argument considering that i've got met human beings devoid of hint of it.

It seems aggression is a natural response to similar behavior.
Controlling and managing this behavior in our everyday lives can keep it to a tolerable level.Aggression is also a learned process,look at the many levels of responses.

I think human aggressive behavior is an instinct, and that the social learning involves learning how to control aggression.

You have phrased the question badly. It should not read; how do we learn to aggress, but how can we learn to live in peace. Aggression is an evolved, contingent response of many organisms. Humans are evolved animals. Are evolutionary past is not set aside at the imposition of superficial culture, but our evolved heritage is that which engenders this culture.

It is the lack of discipline and little to no consequences for their actions that this occurs. Very little has to do with inherent behavior. This kind of behavior was not seen back 30-plus years ago...why?....because if we stepped out of line we would get punished...sometimes with dad's belt! Consequences for one's actions....and we behaved!!!
