NSW It is my first law school essay. Any input on how to approach the topic?

[thomas3040]

The topic reads:
Hostility or hostile intent is not a necessary requirement of assault. However, it is often a clear indicator of an act of assault being imminent. Hostility or hostile intent, therefore, should be a primary consideration in determining whether assault has occurred. Critically discuss


Is there a right or wrong answer? How would you answer this? Quoting relevant case law?
