Anger is a negative feeling which often happens when a person thinks that someone or something has done something wrong, bad or which puts them in danger, and they want to stop the risk, or punish the person for what they have done. Anger may be the brain's reaction if it thinks there may be pain - as part of the fight or flight decision (whether to attack or run away). When someone is angry, anger becomes the feeling that has the biggest effect on what they do, once a person makes the choice to do something without waiting, to stop something which they think is a threat which puts them in danger.
People show anger to others by their face, what they do with their body, not trying to understand or help other people's problems, and sometimes acts of aggression or force in public (e.g. punching a wall). Animals and humans might try to intimidate - for example they could make loud sounds, try to make their bodies look bigger, bare (show) their teeth, or stare.
Anger is a way to behave which is designed to make something showing aggression ("aggressors") stop its threatening behavior. Usually a fight will only happen after at least one of the people or animals fighting has shown anger. Most people who become angry explain that it happened as a result of "what has happened to them", though it makes the angry person less aware of themselves (and so less able to monitor or control themselves) and they tend to see the situation from their own viewpoint.
Being angry changes the human body by making the heart beat faster, increasing blood pressure (the pressure made by the blood at right angles of the walls of blood vessels) and increasing amounts of the hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline (chemicals which send messages to parts of the body to make changes).

What is Anger?
The Nature of Anger:
Anger is an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury and rage. Like other emotions, it is accompanied by physiological and biological changes; when you get angry, your heart rate and blood pressure go up, as do the levels of your energy hormones, adrenaline, and noradrenaline.
Anger can be caused by both external and internal events. You could be angry at a specific person (such as a spouse or supervisor) or event (a traffic jam, a cancelled flight), or your anger could be caused by worrying or obsessing about your personal problems, memories of traumatic abuse, or enraging events, can also trigger angry feelings.

The Results of Anger?
Anger is a debilitating emotion that causes rage, which can result in verbal abuse, and physical abuse by the person expressing the anger or rage. Anger is crippling to one's life, destroying everything in its path. Here are just a few things that anger prevent you from doing:
Anger prevents you from dealing with the source of the problem. It keeps you from correcting distortions in your thinking. It keeps you helpless by stopping problem-solving. It keeps you from processing and releasing painful emotions. It sours relationships. It causes the people that you are close to push further away. Anger increases the overall pain you experience and clouds your judgement.
Anger is a secondary emotion. Meaning that another emotion caused the anger, such as hurt, disappointment, sadness, and sometimes-even happiness. This secondary emotion, anger, is very powerful, destroying everything that is touches. Though people live with this painful secondary emotion everyday, it is not easy, and many lost opportunities to truly be happy lay behind you in your past.
