Anger Management

In the most general sense, anger is a feeling or emotion that ranges from mild irritation to

intense fury and rage. Many people often confuse anger with aggression. Aggression is

behavior that is intended to cause harm or injury to another person or damage to property.

Hostility, on the other hand, refers to a set of attitudes and judgments that motivate aggressive

behaviors.
