Instructor Notes<\/h1>\r\nIn this course, we have argued that people are generally caring toward others\u2014that they have a basic desire to accept, care for, and help them\u2014the violent events that surround us present a problem for this assumption. If people are generally good and care about others so much, then how could anyone possibly kill another human being, let alone participate in a suicide bombing or even genocide? Do aggressive events mean that people are naturally aggressive, violent, and hostile\u2014or are they unusual events, shaped more by particularly extreme social situations that do not reflect the normal character of human beings?\r\n\r\nWe will answer these questions by considering the underlying principles of aggression\u2014in terms of affect, cognition, and behavior, and in terms of the general goals of protecting the self and reaching out to others.\r\n\r\nThis week contains a number of \"Major Points\" with videos and discussion and assignment prompts to support the topics. This chapter contains an abundance of content. As an instructor, you will want to choose just 1 or 2 videos and perhaps just a few of the \"Major Points\" to cover and meet the learning outcomes of your course. You may wish to reference the \"How to use this Resource<\/a>\" section for ideas on how to tailor your course offering.\r\n
