Hi, need to submit a 1000 words essay on the topic Do Sex Differences Exist in Amount of Aggression or Type of Aggression, or Both.

It is for this reason that doctors are able to tell the sex of a child even before he or she is born. Writing on the psychological differences of the two sexes, Hines (2010) also note that whereas some psychological differences between males and females are influenced by biological factors such as hormonal differences, there could actually also be some external factors including environmental changes, social upbringing and moral nurturing that could affect some of the psychological differences that exists between males and females. Whiles trying to outline some of the major biological and psychological differences that exists between males and females, Denisiuk (2010), stops over on aggression and describes it as a phenomenon that is influenced by both biological and psychological differences that exists between males and females. This paper therefore builds on this assertion by interrogating the differences that come to play as far as the amount of aggression and type of aggression that takes place among members of the two sexes are concerned. Amount of Aggression and Sex Difference The amount of aggression as used in this context may be referred to the degree of power that accompanies any form of aggression exhibited by a person. Generally, aggression is explained as defensive mechanism. It has also been explained to be an expression of one’s power over another person or another entity (Denisiuk, 2010). When viewed as either a form of power or defense, people who exhibit aggression would naturally do it in such a way that the level of production (amount of aggression exhibited) matches up or even more than the power possessed by the other entity. To this end, (Benenson, Carder and Geib-Cole (2008) observe that the amount of aggression exhibited by people is generally influenced by the amount of power possessed by the sufferer of the aggression. To this end, it may be said that the amount of aggression exhibited by males and females may not generally justifiable by an attempt to rank them in terms of amount (Baron-Cohen, 2002). That is, it cannot be said that in general, sex ‘A’ produces more amount of aggression than sex ‘B’. The determining factor would always be the kind of opposition faced Hess and Hagen (2009 p. 240). Despite this general conclusion drawn by Hess and Hagen (2009 p. 240), Hyde (2005) observe that the male sex exhibit some level of difference in the amount of aggression they exhibit over girls and this difference comes from the differences in their physical make up (p. 582). Building on his earlier point on the levels of aggression between males and females, (Baron-Cohen, 2002) continues to argue that Males have a kind of physical strength that females do not have. Due to this, even when the same amount of stimuli is applied for which males and females must respond with an amount of aggression, the tendency that males will produce greater amount of aggression than females is higher (Baron-Cohen, 2002). Surprisingly, Pastersky et al (2011) note that there can hardly be anything done about the fact that males will exhibit greater amount of aggression when faced with the need to do so than females because there is a biological attribute to the differences that could be traced to prenatal developments (p. 550).
