The players and the head coach are in the dressing room and the coach clearly shows his displeasure for the team’s performance. In his anger, he verbally strikes out at one of his players, pointing out how badly he played and ridiculing his lack of shooting skills and defensive effort. Is this a form of psychological aggression by the coach? What do you think about this coach based on this behavior? What are the likely reactions of the victim and his/her teammates?Aggression and Media Discussion: : “Aggression and doing what it takes to win in intense competition, even risking serious injury and death, is the ultimate human drama.

Students are required to select three different discussion themes (out of the five potential choices) and post one 150-250 word paragraph for each unit theme selected.

To encourage idea sharing and interaction, students are expected to submit one initial post that begins a discussion thread by Wednesday and also complete two responses to group members’ posts by end of the week (Sunday).Only one initial post and two responses (each related to a different unit theme) will be graded.The due dates for unit discussion posts are listed in the Schedule (see above). All three posts for the unit must be submitted to the group discussion by the due date. Late discussion posts will not be graded.Important Note: Review the Late Policy under Course Specific Standard Statements in this Outline.Discussion posts will be evaluated throughout the term. Unit posts will be graded on the basis of knowledge/critical thinking, clarity of communication, quality/conciseness of writing, accuracy/relevance of academic content, and timeliness/frequency of posts
