OLIVEIRA, Maria Paula Magalhães Tavares de. Reflections on aggression and violence: from biology to culture. Junguiana [online]. 2023, vol.41, n.2, pp.117-126.  Epub 06-Dez-2024. ISSN 2595-1297.  https://doi.org/10.70435/junguiana.v41i2.41.

The present paper aims to discuss aggression and violence from different perspectives. The contributions of some ethologists who state that aggression is innate and related to species survival, being biologically determined are emphasized, as well as the contributions of some anthropologists that refer the culture as determinants of aggressive behaviors. The relationship between violence and society is discussed in different aspects, focusing primitive societies, social banditism and contemporary society. The concept of archetype is pointed out as a possible bridge between these different visions, and Jung’s view about conscience is analyzed as a way to deal with aggressive drives properly. The influence of violence in the media is discussed and creative ways of dealing with aggression are pointed out.

Palavras-chave : aggression; violence; ethology; anthropology; analytical psychology.
