Abstract: “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way” (Frankl, 2006, p. 77). Aggression has become today a fundamental social problem of man and humanity, because the whole world is threatened by aggression. If before there was talked about aggression of human beings or aggression in the world, today more often talks about a world of aggression. One can say that we are in a war of all against all, where the economic violence takes symbolic forms of stigmatization. In the space of manifestation of the market economy, where the rules are not fully crystallized, the absence of prohibitions promotes violence and unpredictability through physical violence and through its presence in the competitive practices.
