RECORDED: [location unknown], 1976 SUMMARY: The third in a series of eight seminars at UBC on the social and human problems in Vancouver, BC, Canada and the world. Chaired by Lila Quastel, a professor at the UBC School of Rehabilitative Medicine. TRACK 1: Lila Quastel introduces Dr. Duffy. Definition of violence and aggression; begin with the individual and not society; we look at the person within this society; excess energy in a person, due to living in this society and yet rejecting it, though they are dependent on it. Simplistic viewpoint of why there is violence. Internal force versus the external force to violence. Essentially the act of an uncontrolled individual, or over controlled individuals. Politics can be responsible for aggression. Politics are the sum of child rearing tactics. How these politics can lead to violence. Culture and the individual. Community sees physical contact sports, competition and personal success as good and therefore shows the child that violence is permissible. All men created equal; your success depends upon your aggression. Culture is swinging slowly away from permissive TV violence. Our society make violence attractive. Was as an influence on our society saying we are the bad buys, not necessarily the opposition. We are condemned to live with freedom and it bores us (Sartre). Asking yourself about your own aggression. Take driving as an example of your own aggression. There is no crime that ay of us can't commit. We all have murder in our hearts. That is the only lesson one learns about life. Violence is what the person feels is the true station in life and the feedback from the community. It is easy to understand violence if you understand the opposite of if. Attainment of more than the person thought they could attain. TRACK 2:
