In almost every type of media today people display their anger.

From every topic you can think of people are upset about the topic.  At first I only noticed everyday people displaying this anger, however, even people who are supposed to be intelligent enough to discuss any topic are resorting to anger.  I remember a time when it was common for people to be on their best behavior.  Even some words or subjects were not discussed aloud because it was in bad taste. There have always been rebels with or without a cause, however, they stood alone or with a very small group.  Now everyone is a rebel with or without a cause.  Everyone now seems to just rebel which seems to be the norm.  Angry seems to be the dominate emotion on display everywhere. 

I have never had anyone agree with me on this but, I blame it on the movie, “Rambo”.  I remember seeing that movie and shortly after a man went into a MacDonald’s, dress in military fatigues and armed, and shot everyone in the place.  Someone said he, “went Rambo”.  That was the first time I remember anyone doing anything of that nature from purely internal motivation.  Years later, the postal workers started showing this same behavior, then the phrase was coined “going postal”.  Now it’s almost commonplace to hear, see or be victim to that type of behavior. 

What made Jerry Springer so famous?  Angry, crazed guest who would try to kill each other on a daily basis.  It still amazed me that people still watch that show.  Which leads us into Reality TV which has made some of the most nastiest people stars for being so angry and not hesitating to tell anyone how they felt using the worse language they could thing of and threatening or doing bodily harm. 

Anger management is big now, I don’t know how it works or if it does work.  I think people are so angry now it take years to put out fire.

People have forgotten how fortunate they are, they have had it to easy which makes you emotionally weak and unstable.  Only through knowing yourself and have appreciation for everything do you find true happiness.  Then your only anger is at injustice to children and small animals or any vulnerable. 

I am hopeful though that people will make a turnaround and we will get back to man’s humanity to man.

    I agree. I have also noticed that being disrespectful is almost acceptable to most people these days. Nice article
