Why Is Outrage Important?

Because outrage is something that people feel, the problem/situation has to affect them in some way (direct or indirect) in which he or she must care for.

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

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.

Flashback to the 15th century: Puritans protest against religious persecution. Flashback to the 20th century: African Americans protest against racial segregation. Currently in the 21st century: people protest against police brutality in the United States. Flash forward to the future, Clarisse McClellan, a character from Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451 individually protests against what she believes is corrupt in the world. Protesting is a symbol of strength and power within a group of people who are exhausted of inequality. Without protest, our civilization would lack the necessary balance between people and government, which is why it is such a crucial aspect of society.

Another example of anger presented in the book Anthem, by Ayn Rand was when Equality showed his invention to the World Council of Scholars. The house of scholars were scared of his invention so they commanded it to be smashed. So Equality ran to a window with the invention and yelled, “You fools!” we cried “You fools! You thrice damned fools!” (75). That anger had led Equality to the uncharted forest where he had found Liberty a girl he had met earlier in the book and they lived together happily.

The Declaration of Independence is a masterful example of protestation. It's points are made crisply and cleanly, without sounding petty or mean. The establishment of a platform to speak from is done early in the paper, convincing the reader of the rights of all humans. Having a starting point, the offenses committed by the King of Great Britain are listed. An appeal to the world of men wraps it up, pleading for acknowledgement of our new government.

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

Few workers would want to follow a passionless leader. However, if that same passion blinds the decision making process to the point of failure, than passion obviously went from good to bad. As excess anger can be one of the most destructive of all emotions, Goleman spends a good deal of time speaking to it. He quotes Benjamin Franklin: “Anger is never without a reason, but seldom a good one”. He speaks to the folly of trying to prevent anger and focuses on techniques to diffuse it before it becomes personally or career damaging.

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.

Anger runs through people’s veins, it is a tricky thing to avoid. During Macbeth, some characters let anger get the best of them. For example, by the end of the play lady Macbeth kills herself from anger and not being to be able to get what she wants. She knows that she hates Duncan and wants to attack him, but she knows that she can’t do it right so she asks Macbeth if he can do it because she knows that Macbeth can do it but Macbeth says no and she grows angry at him and

Like many, I was shocked and horrified when I learned what happened on New Year's Eve in Cologne, Germany. Of course, it took four days for the world to hear this story, which speaks volumes. After the dust settled, and the heinous details emerged, I became angry. Blood boiling-ly angry. Not just at the perpetrators, but at the politicians, journalists, and online apologists who bent over backwards to downplay or scold me about stirring up "anti-immigrant sentiments" when I expressed my justifiable anger. As if anger over an unsolicited sexual violation is shameful or counterproductive. It's not; far from it. Showing anger demonstrates that you have boundaries and will not tolerate bad behavior.
