Anger in Our Society

Anger is an emotion everyone feels; and  is a natural human response to threat.  It is a normal function of a healthy personality, and  can be a powerful source of energy that motivates people to make positive changes.  On the other hand, when anger is out of control it is like a fire and can be an extremely  explosive and destructive force that brings pain and suffering to many.

 In our world today we are experiencing an epidemic of out-of-control anger.  Television details stories of screaming drivers causing road-rage accidents when they cannot change lanes or move at the speed they want.  Police tell of  murders, family abuse, violence and property destruction committed during raging temper tantrums.  Employers likewise see the destruction of morale when just one angry employee intimidates others through his or her  emotional outbursts.  Out-of-control anger is destructive to families, relationships, jobs, co-workers, businesses, society as a whole - and above all, to the person holding all the pent-up anger within.

The following facts help us understand how destructive out-of-control anger can be:

The Goal of Anger Management Training

Most anger outbursts come from habits a person has learned over the course of his or her life.  Anger responses were learned in early childhood, and continue on into adulthood.  The goal of anger management training is to help people replace this deeply ingrained anger response with other positive responses that will lead to emotional growth and happiness. 

Anger management training is best handled in a class setting.  Unlike reading a book or sitting alone in a therapist's office, the student can interact and socialize with others who are suffering from the same struggle to manage their anger.
