WHAT IS ANGER
Anger is a basic human emotion that is experienced by all; whether as a fleeting annoyance or as full-fledged rage. Typically triggered by an emotional hurt it is usually experienced as an unpleasant feeling that occurs when we think we are injured, mistreated, opposed on our long held views, or when we are faced with obstacles that keep us from attaining personnel goals.

Why Are Some People Angrier Than Others?
According to Jerry Deffenbacher, a psychologist who specializes in anger management, some people really are more "hotheaded" than others are; they get angry more easily and more intensely than the average person does. There are also those who don't show their anger in loud spectacular ways but are chronically irritable and grumpy. Easily angered people don't always curse and throw things; sometimes they withdraw socially, sulk, or get physically ill.
People who are easily angered generally have a low tolerance for frustration, meaning simply that they feel that they should not have to be subjected to frustration, inconvenience, or annoyance. They can't take things in stride, and they're particularly infuriated if the situation seems somehow unjust: for e.g., being corrected for a minor mistake.
One cause may be genetic or physiological: The evidence in favour for this is that some children are born irritable, touchy, and are easily angered. Another may be socio-cultural. Research has also found that family background plays a typical role. Typically, people who are easily angered come from families that are disruptive, chaotic, and not skilled at emotional communications.
What Is Importance of Anger Management?
Anger is often regarded as negative; we're taught that it's all right to express anxiety, depression, or other emotions but not to express anger. As a result, we don't learn how to handle it or channel it constructively.
The goal of anger management is to reduce both your emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes. You can't get rid of, or avoid, the things or the people that enrage you, nor can you change them, but you can learn to control your reactions.
It's best to find out what it is that triggers your anger, and then to develop strategies to keep those triggers from tipping you over the edge.
Strategies to Control Anger
1. Relaxation: Simple relaxation tools, such as deep breathing and relaxing imagery, can help calm down angry feelings.
A Final Thought
Remember, you can't eliminate anger all together. You can't change every situation; but you can change the way you let such events affect you. Controlling your angry responses can however help you in making your life smoother and even happier in the long run.
