Review Of The Documentary 'The Handcuff Of Women's Mind'

Throughout the essay “Of Anger”, Thomas Fuller argues that anger is a detrimental aspect to human character. When people are experiencing anger, Thomas Fuller says that they are experiencing the devil taking over them. The main theme in this essay is ways in which anger should not be handled. The essay carefully and clearly evaluates ways to deal with anger while using many illusions and examples that are persuasive to the reader. Thomas Fuller takes the universal concept of anger and uses concrete arguments, literary devices and his persuasive techniques to convince the reader that anger is a detrimental component of human character.

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.

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.

There have been several times in my personal life where I have been hurt emotionally and

When anger is expressed, it can be used as a tool to reveal pressing ideas or opinions that can be deeply troubling to an individual. Conversely, when anger is shown, the outcome is usually in the field of disagreement, refusal or non-optimistic standpoints. Specifically, throughout history, a majority of women have been expected to absorb all systems

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.”

Dr. Sandra Wilson (2001) provided great insight on why people do what they do in her book “Hurt People Hurt People”. As a Correctional Case Manager for North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women in North Carolina, I have heard many stories from hurt women who have hurt others and as a result landed in prison. So many times I thought to myself that if this person had received therapy or counseling earlier in life, it’s possible that this circumstance would never have happened. Affect

“Several researchers suggest that the expression of anger is inconsistent with stereotypical beliefs about women and that women’s anger is regarded as less appropriate than men’s” (Broidy and Agnew 285). The gender role that expects women not to act on anger provides a supporting reason on why men have a higher crime rate than women. Role expectations and role strains are a major part of how gender affects

Bushman has been studying the causes, consequences, and answers to human aggression is and how to deal with such aggression. McRaney details Bushman’s 1990s studies regarding catharsis and if effects truly manage one’s emotion. During the time of Bushman’s study, self-help books regarding personal aggression all advised to vent anger as catharsis seemingly helps reduce it. As part of Bushman’s experiment, he grouped 180 students into three parts. “One group read a neutral article. One read an article about a fake study that said venting anger was effective. The third group read about a fake study that said venting was pointless,” (McRaney 122). Bushman’s entire process had followed the scientific method, where hypotheses are proven through experimentation, and the notion of dividing students into groups is the first step. Every student was then required to write an essay about abortion, a subject which can be touchy and contain strong feelings. The students were then told that their essays were graded by the other students, where half of the group received an exceptionally high score, making them happy and satisfied, and the other half receiving a terrible score, leaving them passionately angry. After receiving their grade, the students were given a choice of activities: reading a story, punching a punching bag, or watching comedy (McRaney 122). Those who read the article about how venting anger is effective and became angry over their bad essay feedback chose the punching bag, where those who received positive feedback chose the nonaggressive activities. Bushman had proved that through his study, catharsis is only influenced after being exposed to the concept of venting anger. Revenge and closure is the second part of Bushman’s study where students who received bad scores were told either to punch a punching bag again or wait a small amount of time. They were put up against people who had graded their essay to press a button

Anger can be used to create positive change by letting it motivate you, meaning it can easily be changed to inspire you. You can take how you feel, and how frustrated you are, to prove yourself wrong. Just think, “I don’t want to be frustrated anymore.” Surprisingly, this can drastically change how motivated you are to do your best.

Losing a loved one to murder can cause a huge amount of frustration. The person believes that they have to avenge their slain loved one by committing an unlawful act. According to Agnew, it is the anger of individuals that make them commit crimes (Tibbetts & Hemmens, 2015, p. 233). Agnew also stated that not everyone who is angry commits horrid acts. There are ways to deal with anger and frustration such as exercising, entertainment, having a good time with friends and family and also meditating (Tibbetts & Hemmens, 2015, p.233). All in all, the general strain theory teaches that it is important to find alternatives to stress other than resulting in crimes (Tibbetts & Hemmens,2015,

The emotion of anger is particularly important in mediating the relationship between strain and crime and depressive emotions like despair and hopelessness are related to deviant coping mechanisms like the use of drugs and alcohol (Agnew,2001,319-361).

In the article, I found that the most striking thing about the reading is that it is all true. Building up anger from past events and never learning to forgive and forget can take a major toll on your mind physically. Keeping the anger inside does really make you one with anger because that is how you will think for any negative situation for the rest of your life unless you decide to change the way you look at things. Having that negative outlook on how the enemy is and not how you could be past the whole situation is terrible, but that is how people are. Some do eventually learn to forgive others, and it lightens their life enormously; whereas, others don’t and they just have a negative lifestyle. It is very meaningful to mean because I can now identify that I am one of those people and I need to get things straight when being negative about the enemy and past events.

Mark Twain once said, “anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored to anything on which it is poured.” What he was saying is that anger harms the person holding it in more than it would if the anger was acknowledged. Mark Twain was not the only person to understand this concept. Through figurative language, diction, and structure, William Blake’s “A Poison Tree” demonstrates how bottled anger creates bitterness.
