The biological and genetic basis for aggressive behavior in human
             beings is likely to be of less interest to schoolteachers and
             administrators than the potential, practical ways to prevent negative and
             destructive exhibitions of aggression in school age children and
             adolescents. In other words, given that the problem of aggressive behavior
             exists, even if it may be more noticeable in identical twins, and even if
             it may have profound roots in human biology and behavior, ultimately what
             works to reduce its effects upon the learning environment is the most
             constructive way to approach the problem. Furthermore, the presence of
             guns and the presence of mediums such as violent video games and movies
             seem to exacerbate long-standing tendencies towards aggressiveness,
             creating a toxic environment that must be remedied. After all, the genetic
             pool and human biology have not changed that much in the past twenty years,
             yet such incidents as Columbine seem to grow, even if only in media
             Granted some students will be able to benefit more from particular
             programs than others, given their personality and their home environment,
             but all students ideally should benefit to some degree. The fact that
             research has found a strong tendency for violent crime to increase after
             major wars, in both defeated and victorious countries, and that our nation
             has recently been involved in a war, should give us all a particular heads
             up,' nationally, that anti-aggression training, teaching, and dialogue must
             be dispersed creatively throughout the curriculum for students of all ages.
             Key to remedying the effects of aggression is striking a contrast
             between aggressive, assertive and passive behavior. Assertive behavior is
             what should be encouraged in childrenâ€"the ability to ask for what one
             desires while still respecting the rights and needs of others. Assertive
             behavior is oft...
