Abstract
This paper examines the benefits of learning anger management in a group setting, which can teach the skills necessary for the individuals in the group to be able to curb their anger and control their subsequent behavior. The paper describes a specific anger management program which is intended to help high-risk young males decrease their drug involvement, increase their school performance, and decrease depression and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. These high-risk young men have more negative school experiences, greater drug involvement, more emotion problems, more negative peer pressures, and a greater likelihood of family dysfunction.

"Anger management in a group setting can teach the skills necessary for the individuals in the group to be able to curb their anger and control their subsequent behavior. The specific purpose of this anger management program is to help high-risk young males decrease their drug involvement, increase their school performance, and decrease depression and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. These high-risk young men have more negative school experiences, greater drug involvement, more emotion problems, more negative peer pressures, and a greater likelihood of family dysfunction. Youth in this category are at an increased risk to perform poorly in school, get suspended or expelled, and have frequent absences."

Abstract
This paper discusses five Biblical scriptures on the subjects of anger, aggression and impulse control.

From the Paper
"Scriptures: Anger. "Ephesians - Be ye angry and sin not let not the sun go down upon your wrath. Neither give place to the devil Luke. And blessed happy-with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation apart from outward conditions-and to be envied is he who takes no offense in Me and who is not hurt or resentful or annoyed or repelled or made to stumble whatever may occur. "And blessed happy-with life-joy and satisfaction in God's..."

Abstract
This paper examines Fatima Mernissi's book, "Dreams of Trespass." It discusses the context of the book in terms of the domestic roles of women in the Moroccan family structure. The paper discusses the harem and how it actually denotes the notion of the social system in Morocco and shows how, from the book, women can only escape through their dreams to be free.

From the Paper
"All anybody really wants is to be free, to make their own choices about their lives and set their goals and decide their destiny for themselves. If disputes arose within my own family between those who wished to preserve traditional ways of life and values and those who wished to dramatically change them based on foreign influences or examples, I would not necessarily criticize the foreign influence or examples. While family is the most important value, it is not the only value. If the social system of a household is oppressive, then a person has the right and duty to themselves to leave that household and find their own way in the world. Family is important but it should not repress individual members' freedom. So if a dispute arose in my family between outside influence versus tradition, I would weigh the argument in terms of which side provides the most freedom and self autonomy, and respect the individual's right to choose anything and everything in their lives."

Abstract
This paper discusses how in Aldous Huxley's dystopic novel, "Brave New World", the theme of dehumanization is delineated through the misapplication of science and technology. It looks at how various chilling techniques, used by scientists and the overall government, control the people that are contained in the society that exists within this novel. The society within the novel is analyzed and it is suggested by the paper that the utopia is dehumanizing the inhabitants.

From the Paper
"The control of science and technology is best described as inhumane in this society because stripping people of their natural human desires is exactly what the scientists and controllers intend to do. Written directly by Huxley himself was that "...the secret of happiness and virtue - [is] liking what you've got to do. All conditioning aims at that: making people like their inescapable social destiny" (Huxley 16). The Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning clearly states that people in society are taught and basically have no choice but to accept and like the conditions that they are forced to live in. There is not much that they can do to change this, if anything at all. Destiny is determined by chemistry in this novel rather than people naturally deciding, with their own personal choices, as to where their lives should lead. "

Abstract
This paper explains that anger in the workplace is the aftermath of complaints against the organization and more personal complaints, such as complaints against a co-worker, an immediate supervisor or a subordinate. The author points out that, to avoid problems of anger in the workplace, management must recognize the existence of diversity among its employees and must avoid dominance by individuals and sub-groups. The paper relates that barriers to the prevention of anger are lack of (1) trust, which is portrayed through truthfulness, sincerity and commitment; (2) culturally and personality sensitive leadership and (3) explicit knowledge.

From the Paper
"Instrumental anger is the exact antithesis of destructive anger. When one demonstrates this form of anger, he and the people around him will have a drastic change of behavior, line of thinking and even physical appearances. However, the change may not always be n a positive side. In the workplace, there are times that the top management may feel angry towards the subordinates because of low productivity, incompetent workers, tardiness of the workforce and the likes. This may cause him to voice out his anger or write a memo which will trigger immediate response from the concerned workers."

Abstract
This paper explains Harriet Lerner's "The Dance of Anger" teaches women that anger can be a constructive emotion, which can help strengthen personal relationships. The author points out one of the most valuable teachings is that anger is a signal worth listening to, directly contrary to the beliefs of many women, who deny and silence their anger, apparently out of a feeling that anger is a destructive emotion. The paper relates that Lerner notes anger can be a valuable tool in helping women to empower themselves.

From the Paper
"Lerner's book was initially attractive because of the title's emphasis on anger. I have known many women in my life who seem to feel that anger is an unattractive and unhealthy emotion that should be suppressed and avoided. As a result, these women seemed to suffer from a great deal of repressed hostility in their personal and work relationships. They would rarely become outwardly angry at people, and yet they would comfortably undermine the confidence of others, and act out in a passive-aggressive manner."

Abstract
This paper attempts to dissect the concept of anger as a mixture of thoughts, feelings and emotions. It provides various definitions and interpretations and analyzes how it is caused. It shows how unexpressed anger can create problems leading to pathological portrayals of anger, such as passive-aggressive behavior and how anger turned inward may cause hypertension, high blood pressure or depression. It evaluates if anger is particularly gender specific since boys have more frequent temper tantrums than girls and discusses various forms of anger management giving examples from the Bible.

From the Paper
"As culturally prescribed sex roles fade in our culture, the gender differences in aggressiveness may decline but will men become less aggressive or women more aggressive or both (mentalhelp.org)" The crime rate for women is increasing much more quickly than for men (mentalhelp.org). Also, experimental studies of punishment show women administering just as much electric shock to test subjects as men do (mentalhelp.org). Boys and men expect acting aggressive to pay off, girls and women don't (mentalhelp.org). Women experience more distress and guilt after aggression than men do; they also are more sympathetic with the victim afterwards (mentalhelp.org). Some studies show that about 50% of college students both males and females account having been physically aggressive to some extent (from throwing something to beating up on someone) (mentalhelp.org)."

Abstract
This paper defines anger and discusses what happens when it gets out of control, when it can become very destructive. The author describes causes and effects of anger and explains that internalizing it can lead to massive releases of rage and even health problems when people finally allow it to surface. Different types of anger management methods are described, including relaxation techniques, cognitive restructuring and problem solving. The paper concludes with the suggestion that a valuable follow-up research project might be to compare anger between teenage or young adult male and female gang members to shed light on what causes people to join gangs, the difference between girls' and boys' gangs, and which is the angrier and has more potential for violence.

From the Paper
"What causes anger? Just about any stressful or negative situation can cause anger, and everyone feels anger throughout his or her lifetime. However, people react differently to anger, and to the situations that can make them angry, and that is often a product of people's temperament, how they saw others deal with anger, and how they learn about anger and managing anger. Some people are just angrier than others are, and they show it in different ways. Often, it is frustration that causes anger. This is called the "frustration-aggression hypothesis" and it shows that frustration can lead to aggression and anger in most people."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Sandra P. Thomas' 1997 article, "Women's Anger: Relationship of Suppression to Blood Pressure" which looks at the effect of anger suppression on blood pressure in women. The paper shows that the aim of the study in this article was to examine the relationship between anger frequency, intensity and suppression to blood pressure and to see if there were differences in these parameters between women with respect to age, family history of hypertension and marital status.

From the Paper
"While the effect of anger on women's BP is important, there are so many variables involved, both physical and psychological, that a meaningful study is difficult to conduct. Sample chosen, timing of study, method of assessing anger and anger suppression, measurements of BP and their timing, and a host of health and psychological factors come into play and it is impossible to account for all variables (Fontana, Pontari and Nash, 1998, p. 2). The "white coat effect" on BP may come into play in a test setting. Results of these types of studies are difficult to assess accurately, and they can do no more than indicate some potential problem areas."

Abstract
This paper discusses "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African", by Olaudah Equiano, a freed man, who seeks to convey the horrors of slavery and the pain he experienced, while not offending his white readers so much that his story is never heard. The writer shows that Olaudah Equiano, although there is subdued resentment and seemingly subtle instances of contempt of his captors in his narrative, more often writes with respect and humility, showing that he still has his sense of obedience to them (and perhaps feelings of obligation to them for setting him free, but even more obligation to his own people to make sure their story is heard).

From the Paper
"Since we know Equiano writes from the perspective of a freed man, we can understand why he views and describe some of his experiences with disdain and bitterness. However, even though he shows his frustration with the whites, he does so eloquently (rather than in a bashing and more brutal way), so as not to offend the white reader. In Chapter II, Equiano, when describing his fear of being killed on board the slave ship, refers to the Whites as "bad spirits," referring to "their long hair, and the language they spoke (755)." In such great fear, it is somewhat odd that Equiano refers to them merely as "bad spirits," and talks only of their physical attributes."
