Jennifer S. Lerner, author of Emotion and Decision Making, talks about how our emotions can actively affect our actions. In Lerner’s book, it states, “We start with emotions arising from the judgement or a choice at hand, a type of emotion that strongly and routinely shapes decision making.” Our emotions cause us to make certain decisions in our everyday lives. For example a person who is feeling nervous and anxious about a specific outcome of a risky situation may choose a more safe route. A person who admires an organization may donate money. In both cases, our the way we feel about something or someone determines how we address a situation and how we treat someone or something. In some way our emotions act as our conscience in each situation we go through that requires us to choose an outcome .

Week four reading had a lot of usual information. Summers (2016) opens up chapter 11 by writing, “People do become angry” (p. 225). I think this is a great and truthful statement. Anger is a natural human emotion, although some people know how to constructively handle this intense emotion and others do not. Summers goes on to discuss that anger can be an emotion which is a clue that there is really an underlying problem that needs to be resolved (p. 225). This is something that I need to remind myself of. Life can get very busy and rushed, so I don’t always have time to deal with problems as they happen. Then I get angry over something small, when really I need to slow down and address my unresolved underlying problem.

Thich Nhat Hahn, one the world’s most influential spiritual leader of our time teaches answering anger with anger will only lead to more unrest and violence. (Thich Nhat Hahn video) Thich Nhat Hahn explains anger to his followers, as a storm that is brewing so is the anger brewing deep within our consciousness ready to breakout. Like a storm, we know is coming we must prepare before it hits, just as we must be prepared to control the anger we feel seizing within us. Thich Nhat Hahn teaches learning to recognize the anger building inside of us over situations that cause us to become angry is the first step in controlling anger. When we know of our anger is at a boiling point ready to blow, now is the time to implement deliberate breathing techniques that Thich Nhat Hahn says will re-focus our minds on our breathing and away from our anger.

Dr. Nussbaum thougrougly shows her ideas on anger and the explanation as to why democratic politics. She says, “Anger in america, with all of its ugliness is a very popular emotion.” she elaborates that “it is impossible to care for justice without anger and injustice and that anger should be encouraged as part of a transformative process.” With this we can see that she not only states what anger is in America, but also gives an example of the way anger is used.

Anger is not a good, thing, and should be kept under control, for causes people to act rashly and clouds their judgment. An example is when Cole tries to explains why he beat Peter Driscal up, he explains that it was the anger that caused him to act out and behave irrationally(Mikalsen 234) This means that Cole did not mean or want to hurt Peter, but his anger clouded his judgement and convinced him to beat up and bash Peter on the sidewalk. This shows that anger causes people to do things they normally wouldn’t even think of doing. Therefore, anger should be held back and taken out somewhere else, otherwise it could hurt people.
