akness of behaviorist theory is that it seems unrealistic to think that all cases of aggression are learned from the environment in which a person is raised. Both biological theories and behavioral theories have some weaknesses due to the fact that they do not have immense amounts of research to support them. In closing, there is still an immense amount of work to be done in explaining the development of aggression and its true causes. There will always be one side that says there is a certain factor that causes aggression, while the opposing side will give a completely different cause. Many people believe that humans are violent because we are naturally and unavoidably aggressive. This widely held theory provides us with harmful expectations, self-fulfilling prophesies, and with excuses for being aggressive. I believe aggression is both biological and behavioral. Neither theory, by itself, can account for the rise in violent crimes among youth. However, together, the theories provide great structure for treatment. In the end, it really doesnt matter what causes what; what matters is that aggressive behavior can be controlled....
