except Terence. He does not want to show his

progress to Boon because he thinks that he can

handle the things by himself.

Aggression ● Aggression is behavior● that intends to harm another individual. It can be either

verbal or physical actions

● E.g At the part of 5:03min to 5:05min which is also before the thug life scene, we can see that leader Boon is trying to beat Terrence by using high five but at the end Boon just leave him and turn his body and walk away. The reason Boon get aggressive is because that Boon do not like his attitude while Terence act his arrogant style.
