Abstract
This paper examines how John Osborne's 1956 play "Look Back in Anger" is considered one of the revolutionary plays of the time. The play deals with some painful realities of social and political structure of England in 1950s when the country was experiencing some significant shift in terms of cultural and social values. It looks at how it was considered a 'proletarian upsurge' of liberated working class writers rebelling against the establishment and how it turned the theater into an instrument of social change.
From the Paper
"The very success of the play indicated that people were willing to accept new role of theatre. They wanted change and they would accept anything that served as an instrument of social change. British theatre in 1956 became that instrument: 'for a short time at least...a mirror in which the nation could observe, stark and naked, its own image' (Edgar 1981:38). Theatre suddenly found itself at the center of major wider realignment in British society, where people especially new breed of New Wave writers actively began challenging post-war certainties. 'Retrospectively, 1956 has become an annus mirabilis...crudely; Suez and Look Back in Anger seem part of the same event' (Hewison 1981:127)."

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.
Table of Contents:
Causes and Results of Anger
Destructive Anger
Instrumental Anger

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."

?The Dance of Anger?, 2004.
This paper reviews Harriet Lerner's, ?The Dance of Anger: A Woman's Guide to Changing the Patterns of Intimate Relationships?, and applies it to her own life.

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."

Anger, 2002.
A study of the psychology of anger.

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 aggressing 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)."

Anger Management, 2008.
This paper explores anger management in young learners.

Abstract
The paper relates that it is essential that instructors be able to proactively approach a strategy of anger management education, noting how this can be especially helpful in music classes for young learners. The paper further relates that prevention should be the core premise in anger management instruction. The paper goes on to discuss the introduction and reinforcement of anger management techniques and explains that it is best to ensure that students are equipped with the personal resources to address anger as it approaches, not while consumed by it. The paper reveals that an approach to anger-management and to education in general should be the understanding that the teacher and the classmates are allies in their learning experience.
From the Paper
"There is little that is more rewarding than the development of musical skills. The ability to play a musical instrument can be revelatory and therapeutic for learners at all levels. But it can also be very challenging and very frustrating. This is especially true for adolescent learners, many of whom are only just developing the dexterity and intellectual sophistication to attend the complexities of instrumental music. Though it would seem an unlikely setting for such, the instrumental music class can actually be a source of anger for struggling 7th and 8th grade students. A sense of futility or disenchantment may accompany this experience of struggling, and consequently, students may become angry and even disruptive. It is therefore essential, as an instructor, to proactively approach a strategy of anger management education."

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."

Introduction
Efficacy of Group Therapy (Intensive Short Term Therapy)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Beck & Fernandez (Meta Analysis)
Emotionally Disturbed Adolescents (Psychoeducation)
Anger Management ( Cocaine Dependent Individuals)
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Snyder et al (1999), studied the positive effects of brief intervention in the form of group therapy on adolescent subjects exhibiting severe anger. For the study the researchers included 50 adolescent participants (28 males and 22 females) from a New York Psychiatric hospital. These subjects were carefully chosen after a screening of the inmates in the hospital and only those adolescents who scored above 75% in the anger scale of the 'State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory' (STAEI) qualified for the research. They were arbitrarily assigned either to treatment groups or to control groups. A four-session anger management-training program was provided for the adolescents in the experimental group. All the subjects were rated for their anger levels, control and aggressive behavior, under experimental or control conditions. Their anger management skills and their behavior in social settings were recorded during the pre and post treatment phase. After the 2 weeks of training in acquiring anger management skills the subjects were discharged from the hospital environment and their progress observed in social settings."

Gender Influence on Anger and Fear, 2002.
This paper, written from a psychological perspective, compares the antecedents, behavioral signs and consequences of anger and fear between genders, with emphasis on how cultural conditioning can affect the expression of emotion.

Abstract
This paper states that there is no doubt that gender has a significant impact on the emotions of anger and fear. The paper discusses many of the studies developed to measure possible gender-related differences in the experience and are inconclusive but do establish that many of the gender differences are due to social constraints and preconceived stereotypes. The paper illustrates that anger is an emotion largely associated with males and masculinity, whereas fear and emotions associated with loss of control are more frequently associated with females.
From the Paper
"Anger is a primary human emotion that has been the focus of many studies. Whilst many methods of varying success have been used to measure anger, including facial expression, physiological changes (e.g. heart rate) and self-reporting, it is widely agreed that men and women differ both in their experience and expression of anger. Anger is largely viewed as an unpleasant or negative emotion, yet is a necessary and useful tool in the communication of thoughts and feelings to others in order to bring about some sort of change."

Anger Management Techniques, 2005.
This paper discuses various anger management techniques that students can use in the classroom.
1,205 words (approx. 4.8 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that anger is a common emotion, which can be healthy and natural when managed correctly; however, adolescents and children do not always have the cognitive skills to know how to react when they are feeling angry. The author stresses that, in the classroom, teaching these types of skills are important because training students with anger management techniques helps students become successful members of society through enhanced communication skills, better relationships with their peers and the resulting self-esteem building. The paper details some cognitive-behavior interventions include relaxing coping skills, cognitive interventions, social skills training and problem-solving skills training.
From the Paper
"A self-managing technique used for anger is what is called an "Anger Log". This was tried by Kellner, Salvador, and Bry (2001) in a middle school for students with severe emotional and behavioral disorders. The students would keep track of every incident throughout the day in which they actually felt angry whether it was constructive or destructive anger. The student would record what made them angry, how angry they were and to what degree, and how they dealt with the anger, or what they did about the anger. The students would then record in their "Anger Log" how they would deal with a similar incident that made them feel angry, and if they thought the way they managed their anger worked pro-socially in their favor. They would then give themselves an overall rating for each incident from "poorly" to "great"."

The paper concludes with a personal, critical response to these themes.
Outline:
Introduction
Description of the Article
Applying These Themes in a Middle School Environment
Conclusion and Personal Response
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."

An Anger Management Group, 2007.
This paper discusses an anger management group for the abused or neglected teenage population.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents a blueprint for a group that involves teenagers that have been abused or neglected. The paper relates that abuse and neglect often serve as later trigger points for inappropriate and angry responses from the teens that endured the neglect. The paper designs a group setting in a private school for the teenagers to learn how to work through the past abuse and to learn to trust again. The paper explains how using humanistic approaches combined with Irvin Yalom's specific approaches will allow group members to learn appropriate responses to anger triggers, while at the same time learn to recognize future abuse situations and to react with a healthy and proactive approach.
From the Paper
"The group will be comprised of teenagers whose primary issue is the past abuse and neglect that they have endured at the hands of either a family member or another caretaker. Each adolescent or teenager in the group has had an encounter with juvenile authorities and has had to be taken into juvenile court for delinquent behavior. The individuals have not committed the same offenses. The only criteria for entrance is that they have had to be seen in a juvenile court for anger related offenses. These can include assault, non compliance at school, defiance of parents or other caretaker's desires, refusal to comply with curfew or altercations with law enforcement issues."

Abstract
The essay discusses the themes related to men and women in Feng Meng-long's "Du Tenth Sinks the Jewel Box in Anger", a short story typical of vernacular courtesan romances popular with the 16th century shift towards a business culture prevalent through the Ming Dynasty. Specifically, the author analyzes the relationships between the character of Master Li with his father and with his lover Du Tenth.
Outline:
Introduction
The Economics of Brothels
Male Weakness as Unfeeling Behaviour
Last Remarks
From the Paper
"As a member of Li Zhi's school of writing which stressed human sentiment and behaviour, Feng stressed to the reader how Master Li had acted out of cowardice, thinking that the sale of Du Tenth would permit resolution in the future, that he could return to his family and later have Du Tenth. She is having no part of it, of course, having seen immediately what Sun had placed in Li's mind and how easily he had gone ahead with what seemed a solution. At once, the reader understands that her sentiment has been genuine along with her words, and also, that she is shrewd and when revealing the wealth she had amassed to give to her husband, that she is far better as business woman and person able to manage in the world. For Feng, men are cowardly when ignoring women's feelings, and easily manipulated, or opportunists in the manner of Sun who almost managed to get hold of Du Tenth. Unsurprisingly, in the romantic scheme of things, it is Du Tenth the whore who proves to have nobler sentiment, as well as intelligence. Feng summarized that 'Sun Fu, who thought nothing of throwing away a thousand taels in a plot to steal away a lovely woman, was certainly no gentleman, while Li Jia, who failed to recognize Du Tenth's sincere devotion, was a vulgar person not even worth talking about.' (p.855)
"The crowd wondered why she had not found a mate that suited her beauty and devotion, the whole story most pitiful in that she has suffered for her honesty, risked leaving the brothel behind, believing that she had found her future with Master Li who seems not to appreciate, at all, the radical step that she has taken, placing herself on the winds of fate, willing to go anywhere and face any consequences with the man she loves."
