From the Paper:

"In her article, Shoshanna takes the position that as an emotional state, anger has the ability to undermine many of the valuable efforts that the average person seeks to accomplish in his or her routine activities. Shoshanna writes that anger has twenty-four specific forms that are linked to its status and each of these forms has a different impact on the person. These include, but are not limited to, depression, compulsions, perfectionism, and gossiping.
"Anger manifests as a response to conditions within the environment. These can either result from external forces, such as objects and relationships that are not within the person's direct sphere of influence, or internal forces, such as personal relationships that occur between the person and a co-worker or peer. Shoshanna refers to anger as a "toxin" and argues that while it may sometimes be gratifying to engage in anger, the outcomes are never positive and can contribute to temporary and permanent harm for those affected by it."
