The statement 'aggression is conditioned by society' is false. While aggression comes in many different forms, all stem from society and in particular, the basic unit of society that is the family. If it can be proven that the family unit is fragmenting, then correspondingly, society, which is based upon the building blocks of the family unit, will be seen to be in a state of decline. At the root of the disintegration lies aggression of one sort or another, and therefore the opposite applies to the statement given, that is 'society is conditioned by aggression'.

Within the family unit there may operate a number of causes and effects, which affect the well being of that family. If there is an aggressor, there is an element of unhappiness somewhere. Where the aggressor is a child, various outcomes are possible. For instance there can be friction between siblings of the family, between parent(s) and that child aggressor, or worse still, there can be friction caused between the parents themselves as one defends the child aggressor's actions while the other objects.

The family unit, or the basis of society, is in grave danger of disintegration by the results that occur via internal aggression. When the natural aggression of an individual within a family unit is endorsed by the greater institutions of society, such as the criminal justice system and media, then the degradation of society can only spiral further downward, fragmenting into oblivion. For where there is aggression ruling in the place of law, there is complete decay of civilised behaviour. There are no rules by which to refer, as the unruly majority holds them all in contempt.

The problems caused by parent aggression can be diverse because human beings are all individuals. Some of the most common effects of this type of aggression found in the children, or the other abused adult are: lack of self-esteem, behavioural problems such as rebelliousness or delinquency, thwarting authority and rules, attention deficit disorder, and over dependence on mood alleviating drugs such as alcohol, cigarettes, or more illicit drugs like ecstasy, marijuana, or heroin.
