Animal Experimentation plays an important role in today’s medical and pharmaceutical advances, but many question the morality of such a use of animal life. Whether you argue that testing different products and drugs on animals is necessary or not, this has become an integral part of developing products. From that Tylenol you pop to get rid of your headache, to that perfect shade of pink lip gloss, animal testing is used in order to produce the simplest household items. Today, in the United States, it is federal law that requires all pharmaceuticals, food additives, cosmetics, and garden chemicals to undergo a series of tests, including animal testing, before being available to general public. It is estimated between fifty and a hundred million vertebrate animals worldwide are being used fro animal experiments. While many believe that animal experimentation is a crucial part of research and safety, others argue the morality of this issue. Another point of view some share is a mixture of both opposing views, where one believes that animal experimentation should only be condoned in the field of medical research but not for vanity reasons.…

This refers to frustration-aggression theory; the fact that being held back from attaining a goal will increase the chances of aggressive responses. For example, immigrants have a constant frustration in what will happen to them and their families. This frustration throughout the election and the aftermath of it has caused a handful of immigrants to act aggressively when they feel threatened. A woman was run over during a protest happening along the road. Their carelessness took them to main streets and disturbed traffic. One driver out of frustration just ran over a protester and continued…
Focusing more on the frustration-aggression hypothesis, which illustrates the interaction between frustration and aggression, defined as the state that emerges when circumstances interfere with a goal response, which leads to aggression. There are several occasions in which something may frustrate an individual however in some cases, it is difficult to do anything about these frustrations and thus, it results in displaced aggression. This is when something is frustrating you however you cannot respond to it since the means of doing so is unavailable thus, it is often transferred to less deserving targets.…

This theory also can be applied to common social situations especially to crimes and other deviant acts or situations.…
The issue of bullying has drawn a sufficient amount of attention to allow it to grow into a national concern. As defined by Oxford Dictionaries, a bully is “a person who uses strength or influence to harm or intimidate those who are weaker” (Oxford Dictionary n.d.). From being tormented, socially ignored, and physically assaulted to being harassed on the Internet, the issue of bullying appears to be heightening with no signs of stopping. With cases of bullying on the rise, it has become clear that, not only are males the targets of bullying, but so too are females. It is a common misunderstanding that males are the most prominent bullies, but in fact, females can be just as ruthless, especially in cases of cyber bullying.…
