Anger is a fundamental emotion that everyone experiences from time to time. Anger is a basic human emotion that is triggered by unpleasant feeling that occurs when we think we have been threatened, hurt, injured, mistreated, opposed in our long-held views, or when we are faced with obstacles that keep us from reaching personal goals.

From a very early age, people learn to express anger by copying the angry behavior they see modeled around them, and by expressing angry behavior and seeing what they can get away with.

However, while anger can certainly be abused, it is more than a simple destructive force. Anger is also a critically important part of what might be called the self-preservation and self-defense instincts. People who are incapable of getting angry are also incapable of standing up for themselves. It is important then that people learn how to express anger appropriately.
