1. Choose one biological factor of aggression and describe either

how that changes the way you see people who are aggressive or violence

OR

a specific public policy (in health, law, etc) that you think should be affected by the knowledge of that factor

2. Then comment on a classmate’s post in depth adding to what they said, agreeing or disagreeing with them and explaining why, or explaining their answer in your own words to show that you understand it.
