Aggression can assume many forms and hurt people in numerous ways, so it is important to learn about some of the different types.

You have decided to study global wealth and poverty. How would you approach your study? What research methods would provide the best data for analysis? What might you find if you compared your research data with popular presentations—such as film and advertising—of everyday life in low- and middle-income countries?
What are the PROs and CONs of the Guardian Mindset basd on mindsets in policing by Mike D'Antonio in a TEDx Talks presentation?
Discuss one example of each of these… A time that someone gave you legitimate criticism that you could learn from. A time that someone gave unfair criticism which you should not be hurt by. A time that you criticized someone, perhaps accurately, but you delivered your criticism so harshly that the other person could not take it in. How could you have said it better?
