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.
