How to use "Hostility" in context?
Hostility is an emotion that is often misunderstood. Many people mistakenly believe that it is simply a feeling of dislike. In fact, hostility is much more than that.
The dictionary defines hostility as "a strong inclination or passionate feeling against someone, especially because of some disagreement or opposition." This means that hostility can be both a positive and negative feeling. It can be a motivating force that leads someone to action, or it can be a negative force that leads to conflict, hostility, and violence.
There are many reasons why someone can feel hostile toward another person.
