...oldest is happily attending first standard. However, you receive a phone call from the school. "So much for happily attending school," you sigh after hearing the news. Your child was just sent in from recess for fighting. When you pick him up, he explains that he just couldn't help it. He got mad because Rohit said he was ugly. You've taught him that fighting is wrong, but you've also taught him that it is wrong to call other people names or to do things that would make them feel bad. But what if someone does something to make him feel bad? How should he handle his anger? Answering that question may seem difficult for a parent. Your child is bombarded with messages teaching violence as the way to handle anger, but you want him to be better than that. Fighting is not the way to express displeasure. When teaching him how to handle anger, it is vital that you don't unconsciously teach him that anger is wrong. Your child must learn that all of his feelings are normal, acceptable, and universally experienced. Even anger. He may think that because he is angry, he is a bad person. Feeling a certain way does not make him good or bad. The only thing that will make your child's emotions good or bad is the way they are handled. Children Expressing Anger Anger is the most difficult emotion to handle, especially for young children. Your child is just beginning to understand and label the way she is feeling inside. Children express anger when they are frustrated with something or get their...

...Anger Anger is defined as an intense emotional response that occurs when ones basic boundaries are violated (Anger, n.d.) How often have you heard the saying not “to keep any anger in for the sake of your health? Yet, according to a study in the University of North Carolina in 2000, 13,000 students were given questionaries’ in which they rated their tendency to get angry. Years later, a follow up study showed that there (wrong there/their) blood pressure was normal. Yet, those who frequently lost their temper were three times more likely to have heart attacks than others. For this reason, I believe people should not vent out in anger because it can affect your health, create separation, and hinder one’s ability to find a better way to handle the situation at hand. (Perfect topic sentence!) Anger can affect your health in numerous ways. The constant flood of stress chemicals and metabolic changes associated with unmanaged anger can harm different areas of the body (Anger- how it affects people, n.d.).

...Anger and the Healing Power of Forgiveness CED117 Abstract Anger and the decisions surrounding it can destroy relationships. This paper focuses on the root causes of anger and ways to express it in appropriate ways. It also focuses on the role of forgiveness in moving anger from an emotional reaction or learned behavior to an intellectual activity. I’M ANGRY. YOU’RE ANGRY. Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him less than he had been before - it takes something from him. ~ Louis L'Amour Anger is present all around us. We have a world filled with road raging motorists, angry parents, angry children, and angry teenagers. Everywhere you look there seems to be anger at someone or something in the world. Anger gets a bad rap though on so many fronts. Anger can be a helpful emotion to alert that needs or desires are not being met. However, anger can also sabotage and eat away at our happiness if not handled or if expressed in less than productive ways. SOURCES OF ANGER Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. ~ Buddha Anger is considered a primary emotion. Other emotions such as resentment and hate can contribute to or derive from anger. The source of all this emotion can be just about anything. Anger is a signal that some need is not being met, that some desire has been denied. Finding yourself angry is not an uncommon thing. It seems that much of our modern lives tend to breed...

Write these quotes at the top of your entry and identify the speakers. 2. Respond to the three quotes above. Use the questions below as guides, but if other things come to your mind, feel free to DV8. Remember, as always, journals are informal, so content is much more important than grammar. a.

Explain any connections you see between your view of manhood and the two from the play. c. How is the theme of revenge portrayed through the play? Positively? Negatively? Necessary? Unnecessary? When is revenge warranted? How is a “man” supposed to handle his grief? Do the two speakers agree? d. Who is the “bigger man” Macduff, who wants to stand and fight, but weeps for the loss of his family, or Macbeth who, despite initial misgivings, is guided by his ambition for money and power despite the consequences?

...Expression of anger and relationships Unchecked rage under the canopy of unhealthy derivatives of anger can lead to abuse, which is an expression of an unhealthy relationship, both in a physical and psychological sense. Domestic violence has been defined strictly as physical abuse. However, domestic violence can take on other forms, such as verbal, emotional, sexual or psychological abuse. The focus of this paper will be to compare and contrast healthy and unhealthy relationships when anger is the factor. In relationships, there are healthy and unhealthy feelings that determine the difference between healthy or unhealthy relationships. The thought, or more specifically, the inner reflex ushered by the need to express rage, and the restraint used to filter this rage in an imaginative personal inner fantasy can be healthier than expressing this unchecked uncontrolled anger in a tangible sense. One of the unhealthy expressions of anger is anger that cannot be controlled, most usually called rage. Every emotion has an extreme and the extreme of anger is rage. Human beings are subject to a plethora of emotions filtered through a psychological net and are most times expressed in a physical nature. If one is sad, one can cry, if one is frustrated, one can be moved to yell. Each emotive state has its extreme example. If this were not the case, such societal facts like crime and punishment would not be an effect, or needed. As a society, these emotions, need to be controlled and tempered...

...Dwyer Grief Essay In this paper I will discuss the five stages of grief which have been identified as: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance (Kubler – Ross, 2014). The stages don’t always come in order and there is no specific time frame, which a person goes thru them (Kubler-Ross, 2014). Kubler Ross explains the five stages as follows: Denial which is usually the first stage, where the person can’t believe that it is happening to them. Anger person may become angry with themselves, family members, network or even God. Holding everyone responsible for their plight (Kubler-Ross, 2014). They begin to bargain/negotiate with God to allow me to make it thru this situation or allow me to stay around long enough to make sure my family will be safe (Kubler-Ross, 2014). They become depressed and despondent giving up hope as well as all sense of positivity (Kubler-Ross, 2014). The last and final stage is acceptance of their fate. They have made peace with God and their inner circle, most importantly with themselves (Kubler-Ross, 2014). Although the Kubler-Ross model is a process for dealing with death, she original wrote it as stages dealing with any form of major personal loss (Larry Menkes). All cultures handle death differently, In Switzerland they accept death as a part of life. They compare it with birth, as a process and people are allowed to die at home surrounded by family and friends...

...What Is Anger? Everyone has been angry and knows what anger is. Anger can vary widely and can be sparked by a variety of things. Anger is a natural and potentially productive emotion. However, anger can get out of control and become destructive and problematic. So why do we get angry? People get angry when their expectations are not met -- whether those expectations are about the future, about themselves, or about others. When our expectations are unmet, we revert to illusions of control, "unrealistically expecting all people to behave and all situations to turn out as we think they should." Anger over these unmet expectations often leads us to blame others and shift aggression towards them. Gary Ginter, a psychologist who specializes in anger management explains that there are several sources of anger: physiological, cognitive, and behavioural. Physiological anger is natural anger. In certain threatening situations, for instance when we are attacked physically, our bodies respond by making us physically angry. Cognitive sources of anger are based on how we perceive things. These perceptions may be accurate...a situation may, indeed, be threatening, or they may not be. Sometimes we will perceive a threat, even though the external situation is not actually as dangerous as we think it is. In other words, there may be no real reason for anger, but our personal biases and emotions take over, leading to aggression. Finally, behavioural sources of anger come from the environment...

...Five stages of grief explained by Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross are: Denial, Anger, and Bargaining; Depression along with last stage has been Acceptance (Sánchez, 2007). Denial 1st stage is Denial. People who lost their loved ones would be quite shocked along with the thinking that there is no purpose of life. One would not be able to concentrate in their life along with losing their hope. By being in denial, one would be capable of coping and therefore making survival towards being feasible once again. Anger 2nd stage of Grief is Anger. In this stage, it is important to feel this way. Feeling angry is part of the healing process. One would feel angry over the littlest things, just the thought of someone that hurt the person you have lost. You can also be angry at yourself if you didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to your loved one. Holding on to anger can make a person feel sick, the type of sickness that feels like it will never go away, and the more you feel angry the more you feel sicker. We feel anger when we feel that maybe it should have been someone else instead of our loved ones. Anger is another feeling of intensity of our love. Bargaining After the anger stage, comes the bargaining stage. Before we lose our loved ones, we find ourselves do everything it takes to keep our loved ones here with us. We start bargaining with GOD, asking him to forgive us. We sometimes say things like “if you let my love one live I promise I will never lose my cool again”. Or “I will...

...communicating, it can cause some conflict. Conflict is inevitable and when handled properly does nothing but enhances the quality of relationships. Specifically when working in groups, you have many different ideas and approaches to handling the workload, as well as many different personalities at play. There are distinct and successful ways to handle conflict, which will resolve it effectively and civilly. Within the confines of a team assignment, you will have many occasions for conflict to arise. Let’s say a team member is late meeting a deadline, doesn’t cite their sources, submits work that is below the team standards, or worst of all just flat out doesn’t submit or do their portion of the assignment at all. When approaching this conflict, it is important to manage your emotions. If you come at your team member with anger or an accusatory tone you set yourself up for a destructive conflict. If you handle the situation poorly, it is likely that you will upset the entire team that would then put you at a disadvantage for the remainder of your time with the team. Supplying all your team members with an opportunity to discuss availability and expectations is key to overall group success. When you assume that everyone has the same availability, skill set and expectations as you, you are not realistic. Once you have established...
