Five Things To Know About Anger

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.

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.

The Department of Veterans Affairs says that anger is a common complaint of people who are diagnosed with PTSD, which is an anxiety disorder.

There have been countless articles on the riots that arose right after the election.

Anger is a grief of distortions between peers, and its object is change." (129) Hatred intends to destroy, but anger is potentially creative. I think about this and when I hear people minimizing protests about race on college campuses or the demonstrations in that has happen here with some protest we have heard about the past few years. People see, to only want to act in the wake of events and actions that absolutely call for anger, arguing there point which to me is safe to discount these reactions because they are too emotional. Maybe we can get to reasoned and detached, but I do not think it makes sense nor is it healthy to jump right past emotion as though the heart and head aren't part of the same body.

Do you ever have a feeling of adrenaline running through your body? Have you ever felt threatened by an external force that is beyond your control?

Texas A&M International University was lucky enough to have a speech given by Dr. Martha Nussbaum. Dr. Nussbaum is a philosopher famous for her novel, Anger and Forgiveness, which discusses anger in our culture today. The lecture given reflected that. Throughout the lecture, Dr. Nussbaum discussed many different topics, but her main goal was to show the different effects of anger. “Anger is a big threat to democratic politics, and it is all the worse when fueled by…” she states, “A kind of lurking fear and a sense of helplessness.”

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.

Anger is defined as “a strong feeling of displeasure and usually of antagonism [opposition of a conflicting force, tendency, or principle]” (Merriam-Webster 1).

Luckily, there are steps someone can take to calm themselves down.

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

As President Trump was sworn into office, many Americans, dressed in black, swarmed the streets of Washington, demolishing building windows and everything else in site. Most of these violent protesters think that President Trump will destroy America, but do not realize that they are literally destroying our great nation and becoming a nuisance to society. “These are the people that played right into Trumps hand,” stated the Editorial Board, USA Today. In his inauguration speech, Trump associated these violent protestors to “American carnage” on the streets. A small violent group of protestors will not worry our President; the law of our nation will take care of
