We can't control aggressive behavior because it is necessary for survival as well as for self-affirmation.
Is that by the definition of ethology, or your definition? Because we can control aggression, override unconscious subconscious responses with conscious will power.
This was one of the first points of view of the ethologists, but this idea nowadays is almost abandoned.
Thanks for clarifying. :)
It is a hard job to control our unconscious scripts of aggressiveness, but the old know-yourself path and get conscious of all our own life story of violence is the best way.
Know thyself, self-knowledge, the big question, who am I. A must have for personal development and betterment ;)
