'Anger ' :' Anger Is A Friend Or A Foe)

Anger is the sixth out of the seven deadly sins that are recognizable throughout Masque of the Red Death. In fact, it is one of the most common transgressions that humans make.

Aristotle holds that anger is “a desire accompanied by pain for an imagined retribution on account of an imagined slighting inflicted by people who have no legitimate reason to slight oneself or one’s own.” (1-3). “Anger is a complex emotion since it embraces pain and pleasure; the pain is produced from injury while the desire of taking revenge is somehow results from the injury. Anger is a strong feeling of being upset or annoyed because of something wrong” (7) . It is also energy it can be positive or negative; if it is used positively, it can lead to a magnificient changes but if it’s used negatively it probably could be devastating. Aristotle emphasizes that anger is pleasant and in that sense constructive and linked to hope, so may be anger at the end is not a bad feeling it can give results and leads to a quite good change. To

Acting upon anger is rarely positive; it often results in rash, regretful acts of violence and hatred. However, that usually fails to stop people from making reckless decisions in heated moments of emotion and aggression. The destruction that anger causes is most likely to be counter-productive and does not fix the problem at hand.

In our life, we meet many people that have anger issues. People have anger issues because they could have been abused by the people they love or they had a terrible experience from childhood. I read two books that had a similarity which, Ruthless from the book called Ruthless by Carolyn Lee Adams and Cole from the book called Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen. Cole and Ruthless have similarity in life, Cole was abused by his father, Ruthless experience during her childhood, and Cole and Ruthless have a difference in life. People could manage to control their anger issues by facing their problems.

Every human has felt anger at some point. It is directly linked to the adrenal gland and therefore directly related to the survival of our ancestors. I myself have felt a lot of anger throughout my life. Mainly, the response is triggered by the mindset of people not allowing themselves see the reality. My personal experiences shows that anger is not simply the emotion of a crowd, but begins on the individual level. In our present day society, anger is incredibly contagious, starting at the individual level and it spreads rapidly, often through people with similar views. The spreading of anger often leads to violences. In recent events, widespread anger has led to mobs clashing with police in Catalonia, Spain. The spread of anger and its effects demonstrate the use of this emotion in our lives. In Lord of the Flies, the island is a mousetrap of anger, slowly leading up to the collapse of their island civilization. The tension on the island caused by anger shows one of our human flaws, and demonstrates what it does to a group, spreading quickly and reaping havoc. Anger is part of our human nature, and not much can be done to prevent it and its effects.

When anger is combined with ready access to high-damage coefficient weapons, the concern is that the expression of that anger could be fatal”(Boylan).

As Buddha once said, “Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” (Rosberg, Johanna. "Holding Onto Anger Is Like Drinking Poison and Expecting the Other Person to Die - Buddha.") This quote explains that there is no punishment for anger, what you decide to do with your anger, now that is up to you. Anger can cause unpredictable behavior if it is taken into its own hands improperly. Poe and Blake use point of view and actions to convey that holding in anger and revenge can drive one to do uncharacteristic actions unlike their behavior.

During our lifetime every one of us feels anger and aggression occasionally, some more than others, maybe as a child in the play ground or later as an adult when somebody cuts you up when you are driving along. But what causes anger and aggression and why do we all suffer from it? Well there are lots of different theories to what causes aggression and where aggressive behaviour comes from. So throughout this essay I will examine the different concepts and theories from different psychologist and develop and show an understanding of Aggression

As one considers the the topic of emotions anger might come to their thoughts, anger might be one of the the more common thought of emotion as it often takes control of one’s life. Fear might be another one of the the emotions that comes to mind. Even hatred may be a choice, because everyone has a hatred for something or someone. When considering all of the emotions revenge reigns over all of them. Revenge causes many things to occur, from death to injuries.

Utilizing strategies and techniques to effectively manage anger can be difficult, the lack of anger management can result in serious consequences. The literature suggest that problems related to anger and aggression can cause difficulty in many areas of life. In addition, it can cause impaired functionality for

“Holding in anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” This is a commonly repeated quote, usually credited to Buddha, he addressed the fact that holding in anger does one no good. Anger results from one feel undervalued, unappreciated,

Anger is not a good, thing, and should be kept under control, for causes people to act rashly and clouds their judgment. An example is when Cole tries to explains why he beat Peter Driscal up, he explains that it was the anger that caused him to act out and behave irrationally(Mikalsen 234) This means that Cole did not mean or want to hurt Peter, but his anger clouded his judgement and convinced him to beat up and bash Peter on the sidewalk. This shows that anger causes people to do things they normally wouldn’t even think of doing. Therefore, anger should be held back and taken out somewhere else, otherwise it could hurt people.

To begin, anger is one of those feelings that can make people do or say the things they’ll regret later. For instance, in the play, Romeo and Juliet, Romeo’s friend, Mercutio, was

I believe that anger can be used as a force for positive change but it also sometimes cannot be so positive. First, I think anger can be used for a positive change because if you are angry about something you have anger towards something you want to change and you have a good reason to be mad. For example, if you are fighting for women’s rights (which Nellie is) you have to be mad about what is going on, you cannot just say “women’s right are not fair”. You have to be mad, and use it for a positive change by saying something like “women’s right are not fair at all, and I, being a woman myself, it is very very frustrating what is going on”. Also, using anger for a positive change can sometimes turn bad, to explain further, if you believe in

In our culture, it is considered extremely rude and dishonorable if you show your anger in public. On the other hand, it is a mark of sophistication and good breeding if you can control your temper and treat everyone with goodwill.
