I gotta agree with Fear here, to a degree.
I've fielded tons of calls from people in distraught situations, and you wouldn't believe how many "good kids from good homes" are criminals, and how many kind-hearted model citizens come from absolutely horrible upbringings. And while I think one's environment is a significant contributing factor, I believe that genetics plays a more important role. Some people aren't quite wired right, to put it simply. Most brains have safeguards in place to ensure that we won't go off the deep end at the drop of a hat. Some brains have less bumper guards and it's a shorter trip. People have always gotten angry, and always will. It's a necessary part of our repertoire of emotions to ensure survival. Are they angrier now? Maybe. Society as a whole is becoming very individualistic these days. "Me, me, me" seems to be the norm, sadly. With the loss of compassion and communication, I fear things will only get worse. And that really ticks me off.

I hear tell lots of sex helps........sex and aggression 101 Sex.... Sex.... The word sounds familiar.... Anyway, back to the serious discussion. I see more tenseness and unease in people , but that has not necessarily translated into more anger. |

The biggest social pathology that I’ve noticed in the last 5-8 years is the condition of people avoiding responsibility for their actions – and then becoming defensive when they are held accountable. In other words – angry people that are always the victim. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed it more in the younger generation; however, I have also witnessed this regarding some people my own age and older. My first inclination was to blame “new age” parenting wherein parents what to be the “friend” of their child and not take the less than glamorous role of disciplinarian. I can’t make that statement with any amount of certainty since I also see adults acting childish. I think self-entitlement is the reason we might be seeing anger around us. The causes are many, and yes, the economy is a big part of this issue. The transference from adult to child is a burgeoning problem. I believe we are raising kids to be dysfunctional adults - as most adults do not have a grip on their own dysfunction. I'd have to agree with this. Plus, there was a lot of push that "letting your anger out" was a healthy and good thing by therapists. I think it can be to an extent, but as is typical, we've gone overboard with it. I know whacking trees with machetes helped with anger, but burned it fast because of the physical labor. I used to wallop on friends and companions with padded funnoodle and PVC swords, and if angry, or mildly peeved, usually ended up laughing my a$$ off afterwards, which helped. |

I agree that physical activity is a great way to burn off the tension! Traditional exercise is good but, as you said, chores on a ranch are more carnal and direct. Splitting wood is cathartic! I never recall being angry as a child. I had too many chores on the ranch to keep me busy AND to burn off annoyances if I had any. I didn’t sit and play violent video games nor was I allowed to watch violence on TV or in movies. Speaking of TV, reality shows are the worst for people. Shows like “Bad Girls Club”, etc, only show people hitting and fighting to solve problems. Even adults change their behavior by what they see. |

Can't be me, or my society, or their neighbors...but it can be violent video games, and movies, and TV. Explain me then, please. I've been playing violent video games since the conception of Doom, I've been watching violent movies since I was 14, listening to heavy music before that...so how, with all of these aggresive outlets, did I not turn into a angry person? There is no proof, the majority of studies that exist for the most part debunk the claim, and a few that say it is true. I hate when people blame outside sources for their own childrens behaviour, I almost hate it as much when other people make this claim in their defense. |
