I was handcuffed by an officer, who then attached me with the cuffs to a young child who was

protesting. We were charged with obstructing traffic, the police responded when I questioned if we
were under arrest. After that, we were forbidden from speaking with the police officers. The
sergeant who arrested us mocked us, calling us rock throwers, hippies, and revolutionaries while
using profane language. Those who the sergeant did not finger fled along the street without being
caught. Officers continued to arbitrarily arrest people while we were being herded into the paddy
waggon, generally young people and especially those with long hair, moustaches, or sideburns.
While I was with three other professors who were detained, our fifth colleague was not, and he
started making calls to friends right away.

There were 19 of us in the paddy truck, including 2 women and 17 guys. I was never given the
chance to introduce myself or explain what I did; in fact, the policeman threatened everyone who
spoke at all. After about 20 minutes, the waggon backed up a block of the roadway, and we were
moved to a huge bus. I had never heard of "Santa Rita," where we were all being brought.

Our impressions that it had been a random bust were confirmed by the 45-minute ride. Students
travelling to and from University classes were on board with books and notepads.

There was also a resident psychiatrist who had left his hospital during a 30-minute break to take a
quick walk outside, as well as a US mailman (with long hair), who was still carrying his bag of mail.
The student march down Shattuck Avenue was also joined by a number of young divinity students
and five medical observers, young men wearing white smocks with red crosses. I believed the police
made a mistake. This time, they went too far. When we arrive wherever we're heading, the majority
of us will be liberated.

The bus halted inside the Alameda County-run Santa Rita Rehabilitation Center and Prison Farm. We
were led into the property and told to lie down in line, face down.

People were poked and struck with clubs for looking around, stumbling, or moving too slowly. Men
were frequently taken from the marching lines and made to kneel while being hit. The guards yelled
and screamed, frequently issuing contradictory orders and clubbing anyone who disobeyed them.
We were more terrified by the extreme panic that many of the guards were experiencing than by the
beatings. They moved through our flattened rows of men, beating upraised hands and our foot soles
with clubs to force us to lie in straight rows. We were warned that if we attempted to flee, we would
be shot. We were often called foul names, such as drug users and revolutionaries.

Long, dirty hair. They yelled that we would learn a lesson that would prevent us from causing trouble
ever again. We were all labelled political troublemakers. No effort was made to separate us based on
our age, the type of charges, or our physical state. We were frequently told to turn our heads to the
left or the right. I felt a strong twinge of agony in my elbow and terrible leg cramps. We occasionally
had to crawl across the tarmac, which was covered in jagged gravel, to close ranks. The accused
were hauled out and made to kneel with their hands behind them in a separate group while also
being accused of speaking, looking about, or moving marginally. Some people remained on their
knees for several hours.
I discovered that I could make it without pleading or breaking when I found myself face down on the
Santa Rita asphalt. This was satisfying; it was strong enough to dispel the anxiety brought on by the
heavy, blue-black guards' shoes slowly clattering past my sight from six inches distant. But to
undergo such testing in America!

2 cause of conflict

The information derived from observing the behaviour of apes and kids points to three distinct,
straightforward causes for the outbreak of fighting and the display of aggression by individuals.

In both children and apes, disputes over the ownership of external things were one of the most
frequent sources of conflict. Any desired item, including food, clothing, toys, women, and other
people's devotion, could be contested as to who is the rightful owner. Thirty of the thirty-three
females that died on Monkey Hill were killed in fights over girls. Two things concerning these battles
for possession are particularly interesting to note.

First of all, they are frequently taken to the point where the objects of popular desire are completely
destroyed. The toys are shattered. Women are ostensibly ripped apart limb from limb. Once
aggression starts, it quickly outpaces any reasonable limits of selfishness and completely destroys
both the object for which it was started and even the self for whose benefit it was started.

Second, it can be seen that, at least in youngsters, the object for whose possession aggression is
initiated may occasionally be sought alone by one person or just because it is desired by another. Dr.
Isaacs saw numerous instances when toys and other items that had been abandoned as useless were
ferociously defended by their owners when they came into the possession of another youngster.
Therefore, the reasons for possessiveness may be irrational in the sense that they result from value
judgments that are inconsistent. Contests over possession, whether rational or irrational, frequently
result in the most brutal use of force among kids and apes.

The attention, goodwill, affection, and service of other group members are some of the most
prevalent types of objects that arouse possessive desire. One of the most frequent reasons why kids
fight is "jealousy," which is the desire to have sole possession of someone else's interest and
affection, especially the adults who are in charge of the kids. This type of behaviour is occasionally
categorised as a different source of conflict under the terms "rivalry" or "jealousy." However, it
appears to us that there are several different types of possessiveness. The sole distinction is that the
object of desire is not anything tangible. The attention and love of other people are the goal.

But what is desired is the sole right to that interest and affection—a property in feelings as opposed
to things. Jealousy and rivalry are basically analogous to the desire for the constant possession of
food or toys as subjective emotions and as sources of conflict. Indeed, the sources of toys and food
are frequently the people who have the desired property.
Thus, possessiveness in all its manifestations is a frequent reason why people quarrel. A teleological
cause is not difficult to find if we are to explore beyond the simple facts of behaviour for an
explanation of this phenomena.

The possessor has a clear and simple advantage in that they have the sole right to desired goods. It
carries the assurance and consistency of fulfilment. There is a minimum amount of frustration and
the chance of flossing when there is only one claimant to a good. Therefore, it follows that the agent
will utilise all of his available resources, including the fullest use of force, to establish and protect
exclusive rights to ownership if the objectives of the self are the only acknowledged ends.

The propensity of children and apes to strongly dislike the entry of a stranger into their group is
another factor in aggressiveness that is closely related to possessiveness. A new student may
experience ridicule, isolation,

A young monkey might be bitten and poked to death. It's noteworthy to see that only oddness
amongst closely related species is disliked. Rats or goats are welcome to join monkeys in their
activities. When animals are presented to the gathering, children do not object. Such surprises are
frequently welcomed, in fact. However, violence frequently happens when a new monkey or a
foreign child is encountered by monkeys. This strongly implies that possessiveness is the root cause
of the hostility. It is feared that the newcomers would be competitive. The group's current members
believe that competition for adult attention or food will increase. A failure or frustration in a child's
own activity is yet another frequent cause of child fights. A child will be prohibited from doing
anything he wants to do at a specific time, such as sail his boat or ride the bicycle, either by natural
causes like bad weather or illness or by the resistance of some adult. The youngster may also
become frustrated with themselves if they are unable to effectively finish a desired activity due to a
lack of ability or strength. The child in question will subsequently be considered "naughty" in the
typical sense.

He'll be angry or in a poor mood. Additionally, the youngster will engage in aggression, attacking and
fighting adults or other children, which is interesting from our perspective. Sometimes the target of
aggression will just be the source of annoyance, a simple reaction. If the nurse prohibits the child
from sailing his boat, he or she will be kicked or struck. However, the target of aggressiveness is
occasionally — in fact, it happens fairly regularly — rather unimportant and unintentionally
offensive. When neither the ground nor the child being assaulted has even the slightest connection
to the aggravation or frustration, the furious child will stamp the ground or box the ears of another
child.

Naturally, this type of behaviour is so prevalent that everyone assumes it is clear and doesn't pose a
serious scientific issue. The average unreflecting individual would not consider a young boy pulling
his sister's hair because it was raining to be a matter for solemn scientific investigation. He's "in a
nasty mood," as we should all put it. Though there is no benefit to the aggressor from seeking
revenge on completely innocent objects, it is not at all clear why children who are unhappy should
try to make other people unhappy as well. It is simply a truth of human behaviour that cannot be
inferred from any overarching rational concept.

However, as we shall see, it is essential to accomplishing our goals. It demonstrates how hostility and
conflict can arise from completely unrelated and partially concealed causes at their most basic and
basic levels. Fighting that takes place because a different, unconnected activity has resulted in some
frustration that has blocked the path to pleasure is easier to understand and rational, even if the
results are devastating. It must already be clear how important this possibility is for understanding
group conflict.

3 lie detector

In Britain, a new type of lie detector that utilises voice analysis and may be applied without the
subject's awareness has been introduced. In the US, the unit is already extensively used by the police
and corporate sector, and some of those applications seriously raise concerns about its potential
here. Private sector makes use of the Dektor psychological stress analyser (PSE) for pre-employment
screening, theft investigation, and even routine employee checks. There are reportedly only three of
the devices in Britain, despite the fact that at least 600 of them are in use in the US.
