For example, someone suddenly swerves in front of your vehicle. For just about everybody, this may very well justify a burst of internal annoyance. Angry individuals seem to have this rage which is always just under the surface, ready to rear its ugly head at the slightest provocation. Anger displays itself in physical or sexual violence although it can also be exhibited in a more sophisticated but just as objectionable power and control methods. Some examples are intimidation, emotional or economic abuse, isolating someone, denial of abuse and blaming the victim for it, using children as pawns, enforcing male privilege or using coercion or threats.
Many factors can underlie unreasonable anger responses.
The most common is family of origin issues. Countless studies have shown that criminal offenders come from broken or high-stress families or are the offspring of parents who were themselves violent. If it were possible to arrest or control anger before or as it is happening, the world would be a much kinder, gentler place. Some individuals add fuel to their personal fires by abuse of alcohol or lack of sleep. Alcohol deprives the body of deep sleep and has a noticeable affect on persons.
