D. Benefits of the Study
I hope the analysis of this study can share information to readers especially for lay persons of one phenomenon of marital aggression in real life—to exchange
a way of vision to the readers. As Nicolson and Wilson’s 280 survey research on domestic violence shows that it seems less frequently than what it is in fact does.
By garnering the necessary explanations from psychology I hope I can neutrally address what it calls aggression so as to provide appropriate justifications of it—
what, why, to whom, when, where, it possibly occurs. In other words it is expected to make people aware, and make people find certain ways they can
manage to diminish the possibility of its occurrence. Another wish is to enrich people’s moral value to see this phenomenon as a general human’s problem with
many similarities among many races and region, and indubitably its culture. I believe everything can be learned if we understand it, thus, this analysis is
expected to be one of many. This trial is in line with Lynch and Warner’s argument that publishers and teachers, as well as critics and authors ascribe to
fictions is more elevated to cultural functions—to the moral improvement of readers and representation of reality 4.
E. Definition of terms
1. Aggression and aggressive behavior
Bandura 4-6 stipulates that aggression is an intentional behavior that results in personal injuries and destruction of property of the victim. The injuries
may be psychological in the form of devaluation or degradation of someone’s emotional condition or physical marked by deformed body parts of the sufferer
5 of aggression. In this study the conception of aggressive behavior is simply the
same with the term aggression, which is a behavior which causes someone’s injury and destruction of someone’s property both psychologically and physically.
One article in Kompas agony column written by Sawitri Supardi Sadarjoen 22 classifies human aggression into verbal and non verbal aggression. His
classification in fact is close in meaning with the psychological and physical aggression notion held by Bandura. While in this study, the aggressions or
aggressive behaviors are all sorts of acts that are intended to hurt others either psychologically or physically.
2. Taliban
The Taliban is a Sunni Islamist group. This group ruled Afghanistan in between 1996 to 2001 until it was ousted by the American-led invasion. The
group which was based in Pasthun region in the country’s southeast grew out of a student movement dedicated to purifying Afghanistan. During its time in power,
the Taliban outlawed the education of woman. http:topics.nytimes.comtopreferencetimestopicsorganizationsttaliban,
