Answer:

The answer is evolutionary and cultural, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Evolutionary theorists assume that most of our behaviours are a result of evolution. In regard to aggression, some studies show that hostile behaviours might have increased the chances for human survival in the past.

Cultural theorists claim that a person's attitudes are a result of social interactions (they are reinforced or discouraged).
