Describe strategies for reducing aggression and violence.

Solution

Strategies for reducing aggression and violence are:

Parents and teachers should be especially careful not to encourage or reward aggression in any form. The use of punishment to bring about discipline also needs to be changed.
Opportunities to observe and imitate the behaviour of aggressive models should be reduced drastically. Avoid portraying aggression as heroic behaviour.
Poverty and social injustice are the cause of frustration which leads to aggression.
Reduction of poverty and social influences help in reducing frustration levels and thereby curb aggressive tendencies at least to some extent.
Inculcating a positive attitude towards peace at the community level.
Propagation of the concept of non-violence.
