Do humans have the natural inclination to fight? Do we as humans are born with the desire to hate, destroy, and kill? Or are we born with the ability to love create and nurture? There are two theories that help us understand our behaviour to certain situations, the first that I will be discussing is by D. Morris who believes we are born with this ability and that it is our primal instinct to fight for survival. The second theory is by A. Montagu who believes that humans are not born with this ability and that it is just our interaction with our environment that might cause aggression, both have based their theories on facts but I agree with Montagu as his theory to me is sounder than Morris's.
             Desmond Morris agrees with the idea that humans are born with the natural inclination to fight. Morris follows the biological perspective. He also states that there are three basic reasons why humans have this aggressive tendency. The first reason is the hierarchy system, in this system the males of the group fight for leadership of the group, only the strongest male may take that position. The dominant male's strength will always be tested as the other males will want to be at the head of the group. This results in continuous fighting. The second reason is for territorial rights. Each group or individuals have a designated piece of land which they want to protect. When unwanted intruders invade this land the owner of the land will resort to aggressive behaviour to make that intruder leave and hopefully never come back. The third reason is the one most common to humans. Humans tend to pair with the opposite sex and produce offspring and when this happens the male of the family unit has to protect his family, he is responsible for the defence of his family and there home in the general colony base. Humans have leaned to co-operate with one and other this co-operation is an advantage but at the same time it is a disadvantage. It migh...
