Summary and Reaction to "Anger" from TED-TALK

     The audio is talking about a strong feeling called anger. It talks about what anger really is and how we lose our temper. Anger is a negative emotion that triggered by people who treats us badly or unfairly. There are many things that make us lose control. A significant finding is that “Modern life is making us angrier.” Also, researchers in U.K. proposed a point that “People today are angrier than ever.” Modern life is fast and haste, and thus it causes us feel nervous and stressed. Lots of time, we try to slow down steps to relax ourselves, but then we get frustrated trying to do that. In fact, the frustration comes from our wants to do too much in a limited time. Another statement to support the finding is also discussed in the audio. “In Western World, all the expectation has been raised.” That is, we expect things to be perfect. It’s not a bad thing to have high expectation on achievements, but it is bad to expect everything goes with our will. For instance, we get mad when wireless connection doesn’t work well. What’s more, most people get mad when train is late. In BBC survey, they found that being kept on hold by a called center is the most likely thing to annoy people. We want things without waiting, which is the key to igniting anger. Sometimes we just get angry with all the people. We just think that everyone is annoyed even though they don’t do anything wrong. Haste life gives us an idea that we don’t want to wait and that we don’t have time waiting. However, getting anger is not definitely a bad thing. Human develop a feeling of anger as a basic survival skill. The emotion of anger helps us to do things. That is to say, proper anger may do us good. As a result, anger management is a critical therapy to modern people. It helps us control anger. Next time when we feel mad, just take a deep breath and calm down.

     Anger is the enemy that lives in our brain. It makes us unhappy and it always ruins the day. Sometimes we just get mad for unknown reason. We just think that nothing pleases us. Lots of time we feel like rubber bins losing flexibility. We feel tired of doing everything and we want to do nothing. Modern people are prone to be strained by the fast speed of life. We are too busy to slow down ourselves, and thus we lost time relaxing our minds. Tiredness often leads to bad emotion. We may try hard to relax ourselves, but then we may feel depressed because of the limit of time. We have high expectation on our leisure time, but the result is often far away from our imagines. It is usual that we always jump into an unhappy period even when nothing terrible happens. I agree with the idea that anger is from our stress toward the fast step of modern life. For instance, I always get mad and feel down when exams are on the corner. People are getting bust and lonely nowadays. Anger or negative thought is our resistance against the stress. Just like the speaker said, it is important to implement anger management because a breath may be able to help us calm down and thus take a better action. Most stress comes from our worry about having no time to have things done. Stress is actually the factor that cause anger most of the time. Thus, I think time management is indispensable, too. In addition, anger not only comes from stress but also comes from high expectation. It says in the audio that we are having higher expectation on everything. We get angry once the thing doesn’t go as our expectations. For example, I always feel annoyed when train doesn’t arrive on time. I want the thing without waiting. Anger is probably one of the most terrible emotions for me. I hate the feeling of anger because it always hinders me to complete things well and effectively. Thus, I am more than willing to avoid getting angry as much as I can.
