In the case of the male superiority complex which Freud proposed, we see that this complexity is universal and " there remains considerable evidence that males tend in the overwhelming majority of societies, to be more aggressive and violent than females"(page 134). Its when society's goals are set too high for certain individuals or groups that it leads to frustration and then violence which is not an acceptable mode but shortcut. If this is so, we can assume that humans are inherently violent as it is present in every society and this links up to the debated issue of Testosterone which is claimed to be the main courser of violence in humans or aggression the main stimuli to the rise of testosterone in one's body. Freud seems to be suggesting that violence occurs naturally and is inseparable with human beings and is bound to surface no matter what we may do to repress it and that it is being controlled at society level and not at individual level as it is natural to us. He says that we must observe in any given situation, two important social factors first, the culturally defined goals, purposes and interests and second is the acceptable modes of achieving these goals. I f some sort of immunity to frustration was created, then humans can rid themselves of violence. It can be agreed that there is a part of us that calls for aggressive behaviour but to prove it biologically still remains an area of debate. Both arguments do not fully explain if humans can be naturally violent. The last is alienating violence that includes also deprivation of higher rights. He believes that it is sometimes easier to talk of a violent society than of a violent individual. If we are to take Salmi' s definitions of violence, we see that violence is violence only when agreed upon by society, when it affects moral relations other wise it is difficult to establish. This argument though does not hold much water as violence can stem up in humans even in the absents of frustration as in as in war, a soldier can be motivated to be violent even in the absence of frustration. Repressive violence includes deprivation of fundamental rights like equality between man and women at work. From the given definitions we see that violence can be either be learned or be an instinct.
