Aggression is a behaviour that attempts to impose harm onto another individual or group and this strategy is used by several kinds of species [1] . *Aggression often results from negative affect, which can be caused by almost anything— from being insulted to being hot. The likelihood that a person will get mad when they feel negative affect is determined both by biological factors (such as testosterone level) and cultural factors (such as religion).[2] Testosterone promotes aggression by making people feel concerned with their status, powerful, and confident in their ability to prevail.
Aggression may refer to:
- Aggression, behavior between members of the same species that is intended to cause pain or harm. It is a behavior for getting the resource animals want instead of simply taking advantages for themselves.Cite error: The

- Non-aggression principle, the initiation of force (or force substitute) against another moral agent
- War of aggression, a military conflict waged without international legality
- Aggression (poker), plays such as opens, raises and a check-raise
- The Aggression, a 1988 German film
- WWF Aggression, a 2000 hip hop album
Biological Reasons for Aggression
Aggression is strongly correlated to the presence of testosterone (hence proving why men are more aggressive than women).Testosterone also promotes aggression by making people feel concerned about their status, power in society and confidence levels. For example, aggression can be elicited in males by challenging how confident they are when placed in a particular scenario.
