Something is going on! Compared to almost every country around the world, aggression and violence in the U.S. is strikingly high. This is even the case when you take into account the demographic factors such as racial diversity, socioeconomic inequality and education statistics. In those areas, we are quite similar to Canada and most of the Countries of Western Europe. So, what is the explanation?
First Response Post: After you have reviewed this week’s lecture, readings and other required resources, answer the question:
Why is the U.S. such a violent and aggressive country?
Feel free to incorporate information from our resources (and always cite it!!)….but also critically think about the information and SPECULATE….in other words, fill in the gaps and make suggestions that might be possible.
