Which term describes an act of aggressiveness with the intent to hurt?

• A. Global
• B. Violence
• C. Study Skills
• D. Poverty Line

Answer: (B)

Violence is the act of aggression with the intent to hurt someone, whether physically, verbally, or emotionally. The key part is the intention to cause harm, which is what makes an act violent rather than just rough or angry behavior. Examples include hitting, pushing, threats, or coercive actions meant to injure or control another person. Recognizing violence matters in Life Orientation because it affects safety, rights, and how to seek help or report incidents.

The other terms don’t describe harmful actions: global refers to something worldwide, study skills are about learning methods, and the poverty line is an economic measure. So violence best fits the description.
