My Life Of My Grandma

If I had the opportunity to interview anybody in my family it’d be my grandma because she grew up very poor and had to work for everything she ever received. She now is a millionaire and has traveled all over the globe. Grandma has always been a brilliant lady, and has had a full life.

Everyone has experienced intense anger at some point in their life. Maybe this anger was aimed towards a prior relationship, a driver on the road, or an inanimate object. Regardless of its cause, everyone is familiar with this feeling of anger . This intense anger can be really controlling of one’s life and emotions until they deal with it. The 2015 estimate of national violence, which is often a consequence of anger, went up 3.9% from the 2014 estimate (Violent Crimes, 2015). Medically wise, it has been proven that there is a positive correlation between high anger levels and coronary disease, hypertension and ulcers (Bitti, Gremingni, Bertolotti, & Zotti, 1995; Staicu & Cuţov 2010). Because of these negative effects, human cultures have long sought to obtain and understand a way to reduce anger. It has long been suggested that to get relief from this anger, it is beneficial to vent one’s anger. Freud coined the catharsis theory, which states that “catharsis is one popular and authoritative statement that venting one’s anger will produce a positive improvement in one’s psychological state…[and] according to catharsis theory, acting aggressively or even viewing aggression is an effective way to purge angry and aggressive feelings” (Bushman, 2002, p. 724). However, some people believe this practice does more harm than

Anger Management Education, founded in 1994, provided education and psychotherapy to individuals to help make sense of and manage anger in their everyday lives (Anger Management 1). Anger remains a healthy emotion when expressed appropriately, although devastating effects may still exist. Anger lies at the root of many personal and social problems, such as child abuse, domestic and community violence, physical and verbal abuse. Anger also affects our physical health, by contributing to headaches, migraines, severe gastrointestinal symptoms, hypertension, and coronary artery disease. Many of us do not have the knowledge or abilities required to express our anger as a healthy emotion. As a result, some of us store and

When I feel anger a strategy I use or would like to implement in future situations is to control my anger and not to say what it is in my mind.

It was on different instances before high school that I began this unfortunate turn toward anger. On multiple occasions, I would lash out in uncalled for circumstances and yell mean spirited things at people undeserving of this treatment. One person specifically that felt my fury was my only brother.

At last, there may be more to anger than the bad wrap it has been given. Although anger is difficult to deal with, whether it is within or in others, it can be a very powerful quality if harnessed and channeled in a positive manner. Once understood how to handle anger, it could give a whole new perspective on things. “As one will not be punished for their anger, one will be punished by their anger.”

My grandma, Awi, was a smoker. She couldn’t stop smoking. I felt bad, but my sympathy for her grew tremendously when she was diagnosed with lung cancer. I was so depressed to see my family suffer, especially my father. My dad loved my grandma dearly that he would stop at nothing to make her feel comfortable, and he would even take the precaution to not allow her to walk by herself since she was so weak and tired. I didn’t understand why, but I was willing to help my grandma She always said, “I will be there to see you graduate.” I felt bad. When she died, I and my family suffered greatly. My dad always told me “you never know how much someone means to you until they're gone.” I’ve never seen my dad and uncle cry so much at the private service.

Now that you have recognized an anger style that closely resembles your own method of dealing with anger, answer the following questions:

In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, there is numerous lessons throughout the novel. One lesson is that in a heat of rage anything could go wrong. For instance, when Jem goes to Mrs. Dubose’s house and Mrs. Dubose tells Jem about his father, “Your father’s no better than the niggers and trash he works for!” (Mrs. Dubose); afterward, Jem is filled with fury and destroys her camellia bushes. Sometimes the temptation of releasing a person’s anger on some person or thing could be so great that the person will not be able to comprehend the consequences. Similar to modern society, most people have difficulties on controlling their own anger. For example, while Christian Bale was shooting a scene for Termination Salvation in 2009, he cursed and threatened the director of photography for interfering with Christian Bale on set. Not only in books such as To Kill a Mockingbird, but also in today’s society anger is a personal struggle for most people.

Anger, an emotion we all experience, has been the reason for many of the problems the world faces today. Rage can come from something as minuscule as stubbing a toe or from a rejection of any kind. It is a key factor in violence, fights, and murder, and it can turn into something life-altering if felt strongly

Foster Mom, grandmother, and a mother, my grandmother is the best at all of these, but she is the greatest at being my grandma. My Grandma’s name is Bonnie Edwards and she Is 65 years old and was born on July 15, 1952, she has three children and her first job was a foster mother and she still is now. My grandma is special because she is kind, loving, and joyful.

Training in anger management developed more positive attitudes to people with problems of anger and aggression (Levey & Howells, 1990). In the study of Novaco (1976) anger can have a disruptive effect on behavior. When arousal is high, anger interferes with efficient task performance. Cognitive processes become disorganized, and reactions become impulsive. Although anger has many positive functions (i.e. energizing, expressive, potentiating) it also has many maladaptive functions (e.g. it can disrupt task performance and problem-solving, and can activate aggressive behaviour). One of the most recognizable functions of anger arousal is that it energizes our behavior. Anger increases the vigor with which we act. This can result in strong motor responses, such as slamming doors or raising the volume of one’s voice. This energizing effect can also enable a person to assertively confront provocation or injustice. As an emotional response to provocation, the arousal of anger and the cognitive processes are related with that arousal (i.e., thoughts about the provoking person and the uncomfortable situation) can start an aggressive actions (Novaco,1976), it can be suppressed (anger-in), directed outward in a healthy way (anger-discuss), directed outward in the form of attacking or blaming others (anger-out), or expressed somatically through symptoms like headache (anger symptoms) (Atakan &

In our personal lives we get angry over at least one thing on almost a

There are several triggers that can provoke anger. Such things that make people angry are: alcohol, hunger, traffic, mental illness, pain and grief. Not only can these things make you angry, but if left untreated, can potentially lead to severe health problems. If these anger problems are uncontrolled or unsolved it can lead to problems such as backaches, headaches, strokes, heart attacks, or high blood pressure. Not only do physical problems result from uncontrolled anger, but so do mental ones. In fact, often those dealing with anger, suffer from some form of depression, self injury, alcohol/drug abuse, low self esteem, or even eating disorders. There are several symptoms that can help you identify if you are struggling with managing your anger. The emotional symptoms that are most commonly seen with poorly managed anger are depression, guilt, the desire to lash out verbally, resentment, and irritation. Some of the physical symptoms include pacing, using rude remarks, losing your humor, screaming or crying, lashing out physically, and fidgeting with one hand. Not every case of anger management shows these symptoms, but some individuals are able to identify their onset of intense anger with these

I do not usually get mad when people wrong me, but rather, I pile it within myself like a dam; I cannot forget, but I move on. However, again, much like a dam, when I am aggravated to a certain extent, I lose it. All my piled up anger will come out at once like a tidal wave. This characteristic, I believe, was groomed within me because of my genetics, my mother is much the same, she never seems to get angry, yet when she is pushed too far, she get’s very
