The Uses of Anger*
When people feel angry, our bodies react in certain ways. Each person reacts to anger differently. This could entail a racing heart, a tight stomach, and quickened breathing. A common anger response is blood rushing to the face resulting in a hot sensation, but the physical appearance of such a phenomena varies greatly between individuals. Culturally, anger is expressed and characterized in greatly different ways. From country to country, one reaction may be considered justified while the same reaction may incite a negative reaction.
