Q.4

Anger is one of the basic human emotions, as elemental as happiness, sadness, anxiety, or

disgust. These emotions are tied to basic survival and were honed over the course of human
history.
Anger is related to the “fight, flight, or freeze” response of the sympathetic nervous system; it
prepares humans to fight. But fighting doesn't necessarily mean throwing punches. It might
motivate communities to combat injustice by changing laws or enforcing new norms.
Of course, anger too easily or frequently mobilized can undermine relationships or damage
physical health in the long term. Prolonged release of the stress hormones that accompany anger
can destroy neurons in areas of the brain associated with judgment and short-term memory, and
weaken the immune system.
For those who struggle with chronic anger, or for those who only experience occasional
outbursts, learning skills to identify and navigate this powerful emotion can lead to growth and
change.
