Answer 11

I'd say the first thing to do is to understand those who are aggressive. Try to uncover the cause of it, where it's coming from and what can be done about it. That is why we have a United Nations organization which, although faulty in many ways, at least serves as a platform for discussion amongst the nations instead of taking part in aggressive warfare.

There is little to be gained from reacting negatively to conditions so it's better to use one's good judgment and intelligence to improve a situation whatever it may be. This is just a generalization of course since you give no example in your question.

Get a gun and try not to be violent yourself.

Answer 16

Development of compassion

Answer 17

Aggressiveness arises when someone feel separate, threatened, attacked, & feels for them to gain they must take from the other. The only real antidote is Love. If someone is aggressive they are not in a state of Love or they simply would not be aggressive. But it will take real Love, not the poor imitation that the world mistakes for love. Real Love is born from the deep realization that we are more than just connected, we are one. Then aggressiveness would vanish. Our understanding of self having expanded to include what we formally thought of as others we quickly realize that whatever we do or do do for another we do to ourselves.  Then it simply becomes a matter of self preservation.
