Summary Of Martha C. Nussbaum's Anger And Forgiveness

Men (and sometimes women) ignore it, see it as our being “upset” or “hysterical,” or see it as craziness” (Frye, p.84). In Frye’s opinion, men see women’s anger as “irrational”. Men do not know how to handle women’s anger and sometimes even respond physically or just disregard it because they do not know how to deal with it. Frye’s discussion of anger, although from a feminist point of view, brings an insight into the emotion of anger and how it affects people.

I chose to do this project on anger because for me, it is the most frequent fault I commit. In addition, it is the hardest one for me to avoid, which makes it one of the most distinctive sins to me. Moreover, writing about it gives me a better understanding of what it is. To me, anger is like a test. Imagine that your life and your decisions are like a path that has many other paths leading off of it, and the goal is to stay on the main path. Anger is like a rock or boulder that blocks the path of travel. As a test, will you keep calm and find a way around it and make

This paper will examine Robert C. Solomon's Emotions and Choices article, to best identify what anger is, and to what extent a rational human being is responsible for their anger. Firstly, Solomon's argument must be described. A quick summation of Solomon's argument can be found in the following four points: Emotions are judgements, emotions are chosen, emotions serve a purpose, and emotions are rational.1 To quote Solomon, he explains that “Emotions are not occurrences, and do not happen to us. They ... may be chosen like an action.”2

Thesis: Demonstrates that the energy used for anger and frustration can turn into passion and devotion

In the book Rediscovering the Power of Repentance and Forgiveness, Dr. Leah Coulter seeks to challenge the conventional Christian approach to forgiveness. Conventional Christianity approaches forgiveness as a Christian duty, and, in many ways, this has been unfair to the victims who have almost been condemned for seeking justice rather than simply forgetting. She asks, "From an all too common Christian view, why must the weight and responsibility of forgiveness be placed on the sinned-against instead of the sinner's repentance?" (Coulter). Therefore, she focuses extensively on the idea of repentance and the duty of the sinner to repent. However, that is not to suggest that Coulter abandons the idea that forgiveness is a Christian imperative, but she attempts to place it within its Jewish context, and demonstrate how other facets of historical Judaism inform the practice of forgiveness and repentance.

Anger in a business setting can cause one to act inappropriately or unwisely by blowing an incident out of proportion and possibly irrevocably damaging a career. Learning that at any moment we have the ability to consciously control our anger is empowering but not that easy to accomplish. Goleman asserts the body’s chemical reaction to stressful situations, relating back to our ancient ancestors, is the reason for this difficulty. The introduction of hormones into the body is not a gradual elevation, but a quick release relating back to our basic fight or flight response to environmental dangers. Every day, hormones are incrementally released into the body with each passing taxing stressful episode until a level is reached that triggers anger. He offers two weapons against anger outbursts. The first is method is to recognize, as early as possible, what is triggering the anger. This disruption of the anger

Week four reading had a lot of usual information. Summers (2016) opens up chapter 11 by writing, “People do become angry” (p. 225). I think this is a great and truthful statement. Anger is a natural human emotion, although some people know how to constructively handle this intense emotion and others do not. Summers goes on to discuss that anger can be an emotion which is a clue that there is really an underlying problem that needs to be resolved (p. 225). This is something that I need to remind myself of. Life can get very busy and rushed, so I don’t always have time to deal with problems as they happen. Then I get angry over something small, when really I need to slow down and address my unresolved underlying problem.

Quality outrage is characterized as the demeanor to see an extensive variety of circumstances as irritating or baffling, and the inclination to react to such circumstances with more regular heights in state outrage. Spielberger, Jacobs, Russel, & Crane (1983) depict characteristic resentment is an individual emotional demeanor to encounter endless sentiments of indignation regarding time and crosswise over circumstance. People with high characteristic outrage are inclined to experience outrage all the more strongly crosswise over circumstances. Spector (2003) and Spielberger (1999) found that that circumstance is a direct result of an indignation demeanor and more consequence of negative examinations crosswise over circumstance. Attribute Anger

Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead of fury. Anne

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.

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

Thich Nhat Hahn, one the world’s most influential spiritual leader of our time teaches answering anger with anger will only lead to more unrest and violence. (Thich Nhat Hahn video) Thich Nhat Hahn explains anger to his followers, as a storm that is brewing so is the anger brewing deep within our consciousness ready to breakout. Like a storm, we know is coming we must prepare before it hits, just as we must be prepared to control the anger we feel seizing within us. Thich Nhat Hahn teaches learning to recognize the anger building inside of us over situations that cause us to become angry is the first step in controlling anger. When we know of our anger is at a boiling point ready to blow, now is the time to implement deliberate breathing techniques that Thich Nhat Hahn says will re-focus our minds on our breathing and away from our anger.

“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,

Christopher Paolini once voiced, “Anger is poison. You must purge it from your mind or else it will corrupt your better nature.” Okonkwo, the main character from the realistic fiction novel Things Fall Apart, by Chinua Achebe, experiences anger quite frequently. Being an important figurehead in his Nigerian clan, he cannot help but be frustrated with his complicated life. His outrage got so out of hand that eventually felt the need to kill himself. Chinua Achebe inserted similes, idioms, and hyperboles into Things Fall Apart in order to illustrate how anger drives people to make decisions that they will regret.

Attitudes and emotions in the workplace are extremely important because they dictate job performance. The emotions that people go through are something that cannot be avoided; however, they can be manipulated. Managers, leaders, CEO’S of companies learn to do this by experience and training. They manipulate employee’s emotions with the purpose of achieving better performance and satisfy an organization’s goals. Although people have always had different emotions, the notion that managers need to care for employee’s satisfaction and happiness is newly implemented in the workplace. In this paper, I will be explaining the impact of attitudes in the workplace, how mood, emotions, attitudes and behavior affect job performance and I will implement the point of view of the CEO of the Defense Commissary Agency, Mr. Joseph Jeu.
