Address the role of aggression in childhood

/in /by

Address the role of aggression in childhood and evaluate whether a child who displays aggressive tendencies automatically transitions into an aggressive adolescent and adult.
Discuss environmental factors such as school environment and whether these cause a child to develop into the roles of victim or bully. Bear in mind the differences in child/adolescent aggression and adult aggression and how they are classified differently within the DSM-5.

What factors could influence the level of aggression? Be sure to incorporate the Module Eight readings into your argument.
