Psychoanalysis by Sigmund theory has given an insight on aggression especially on individuals and society at large (Roeckelein, 1998). According to his theory aggression can be staged into three theories innate theory, drive theory and social learning theory.
To understand these theories we have to reflect on past incidences that have been seen in America. Aggression in America as compared to India is quite different and can be assed and evaluated according to culture. India has a collectivist cultured where harmony and traditional values are cherished. Great Britain also has an in-depth culture system where respect on culture and language is emphasized. These countries are passive and leave without confrontation due to culture and equality among the state member. America has an individualism culture, meaning their drive is based on competitiveness and confrontations because of individual’s uniqueness and self determination (Roeckelein, 1998).
Social learning theory is based on observation which is based on model figures. According to past surveys on America: Activists and lobbyist are influenced by actions of others either due to injustice or racial slurs that intimidate Americans. In Pre 1945 Great Britain was a superior power but as time passed by its allies and adversaries such as America rapidly declined. This can be attributed to the fact that unlike India and Great Britain, United States spends more on defense than the latter. There superiority has increased their aggression and are willing to protect their interest around the world.
In terms of communication India and Great Britain are collectively known as passive where non verbal communication is important. Through nobility in Great Britain and superiors in India disputes are resolved and everyone understands how the system works. In America the subordinates can question the decisions of the superiors. They have a fundamental right to be heard which results in aggressive or unfriendly reactions.
