Lack of communication is the key word.

Injustice makes me angry! When I feel angry, there is something wrong in my live. Also, I want to mention about what ruins people's lives, i.e., injustisce, in order to make profits for others

Hunger!!!

Hunger makes evil and angry!!!!

All above reasons, could be minor, if a person is  matured and mentaly strong, to accept the condition, and decide not to get angry(no violations), all above reasons could be true for un matured children of God. Health is Wealth, which is affected badly with anger. Wise person will naver,  get angry, Gandhi and Nelson Mandela the good examples.........

Normally a person becomes angry when his or her desires are not fulfilled. He feelings something is preventing him from success .

It all depends on the way how to understand the situation and respond to the situation..

In my opinion, anger is a complex phenomena, in which multiple factors may contribute positively or negatively on it. In general, events that not meet the expectations make anger. 

anger happens when you feeling injustice and inequality

"Eight Medical Reasons Why You May Be Always Angry, 

Aug 24, 2012 04:19 PM By Nikki Tucker

It is perfectly normal for an individual to display anger. Anger is a healthy emotion, however if you find yourself more angry than not it could be due to certain conditions or medicines.

According to Dr. Helen Stokes-Lampard of the Royal College of General Practitioners, speaking to the Daily Mail, there are a number of medical conditions and medicines that has been reported to an increase in anger among individuals.

Here are a few conditions that can intensify your anger:

• Overactive thyroid.
• High Cholesterol.
• Diabetes.
• Depression.
• Alzheimer's disease.
• Autism.
• Sleeping tablets.
• Last but not least, the ultimate kicker of Mother Nature, that dreadful premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Due to the imbalance of hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, women become more irritable and increasing anger. According to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, your mood can change during the last two weeks of your menstrual cycle as well as two weeks before your period.

Many of these conditions affect the serotonin level in an individual's brain, which as we can see is essential to one's happiness."..

As mentioned by Richa Sharma, when the desires are obstructed, the person becomes angry, A desireless person cannot become angry. When a desireless person becomes angry, his anger is a fake anger just to show off, Like parents getting angry with their children in order to teach them.

Injustice and cheating 

Dear Mahamad

What makes a person angry?

- A person is angry when her / his personal space has been trespassed. When you start to show prejudice, when you start to label people, when you start to throw tantrums over nothing.

Is this anger is a disease? If yes, then, Is it a physiological disease? or biological disease? or Is it just a human tendency to get angry?

- Anger is not a disease, it is a negative emotion.

- Negative emotion can wreck the world if not managed properly. It becomes physiological if the person starts to manhandle every single person he meets. It is biological if he brings anger within himself till he dies especially when he is procreating because his gene is being passed on to his offsprings unintentionally. It is a natural human tendency to get angry over something but not everything because we are gifted with brain to define what is right and what is wrong according to our culture, intelligence or societal norms.

Normally, many person become angry often. There may be several reason for it. Some of them may be hurt, jealous, worried, rejected, and embarrassed.

- The types of reasons that you gave are negative emotions with the continuum of anger - hurt, jealous, worried, rejected and embarrassed.

INSECURITY

- According to Maslow's theory, if people do not have enough food, shelter, clothes, they tend to get easily angry because their basic needs are not met.

- That's when they become worried, embarrassed, hurt and of course - anger! Usually poverty has eaten up their ability to self-provide their family. The condition worsens if there is no job to be had or you have just lost a job.

- Based on hedonistic subjective well being (SWB), life satisfaction is the outcome of having positive and negative affect. Subjective well-being (SWB) is defined as ‘a person’s cognitive and affective evaluations of his or her life’ (Diener, Lucas, & Oshi, 2002). The cognitive element refers to what one thinks about his or her life satisfaction in global terms. The affective element refers to positive and negative emotions, moods and feelings (Albuquerque, n.d.).

http://positivepsychology.org.uk/pp-theory/happiness/106-subjective-well-being.html

- If the person feels insecured like when he loses his job, the negative feeling like rejected, hurt and anger especially make him vulnerable to unhappiness. This could even lead to suicide if proper intervention is not initiated.

LACK OF EDUCATION

- not everybody enjoys the beauty of gaining knowledge through education. In poor country (not all), most of the children, even adults are denied the liberty and joy of learning because they could not pay for their education. Anger is the greatest protest being shown because normally the children would blame their parents and their parents would blame their forefathers and the vicious circle continues. Else, the parents are angry with themselves for failing to have sufficient funds themselves to equip their children because they themselves lack education - the so-called passport for happiness.

- Therefore such anger is misplaced because there are many ways to the road to education, success and happiness, if only we know how to overcome it especially in this IT world. For example, you could go to the community library and seek the librarian's assistance to find a book that would start you off with reading (may or may not work) or just join the class hideously outside so that you could gain some knowledge before you find a job that could put you inside the classroom to complement what you have started. This way, your anger is somewhat curbed. Instead of cursing your life away, you positively find a way out of poverty and become a learned person thus gaining good job that could feed your family well.

Commonly, we researcher become very angry whenever our research paper get rejected. Isn't it?

- I am not sure about others. But why should we be angry when the paper get rejected? Isn't it great that someone is pointing to you that your research is not up to the standard as yet? Perhaps you may see the standards being enhanced or subjective and that high expectation of you, as a researcher, is warranted because the approval bodies have their own standards to maintain too failing which it would tarnish their big names. Just redo and resend as you improve because, like selling world class novel, the magic word is read, read, read and improve before you submit it for publication, then for distribution and ultimately for sale. The end-product is pride instead of anger.

What causes you to become angry?

- Personally I do not get angry over nothing. There must be something that makes me angry, very angry if someone touches my personal things, handphone, books, study room or even work area without consent. Other than that, if someone is wayward and I have the duty to correct them morally, given that the person is receptive enough. Otherwise, I would just ignore the episode. The biggest anger I would ever have is when people start to be prejudiced and labeling me or my families with names that does not relate at all to who we are and what we represent for. Then this would be very intolerant and I would go all the way to correct the situation whatever it takes.

- Anger is not a pleasant thing and it takes away our good self and we become loners treading the world without friends, colleagues and families. Definitely, this is not what we want.

Personally, I want to live longer and happily. Why should I be so angry about little things that does not even dent my life one bit. Like SWB, recognise the positive emotions and leave the negative ones, like anger and you will live life with the fullest satisfaction.

Best regards   - Mariam

Sometimes, we used to become very angry when an unnecessary action taken by someone to improve a situation makes it worse.

Dear Mariam,

You have share extremely important information about Anger. Your complete post itself is a good discussion about this ANGER.

I think that a person who is immune to anger must be very happy person on the earth. We should try to be resistant to Anger so that we can connect to the maximum people to share happiness.

Happiness and anger cannot go together, this is just my opinion.

Regards

Mahamad

When things do not go as you want, and you are deficiency of seretonin.

There may be different reasons to anger. Interacting with irrational,  selfish, ungrateful and inconsiderate people can be one reason. Also being treated unfairly may be another reason.

We get frustrated (angry) when people (colleagues, bosses, managers, ...) try to take credit (advantageous) for others work or ideas.

Dear Mahamad,

Thank you for the compliment.

I am just trying to answer questions to my best knowledge hoping it would help others find happiness in their answers, thereafter their life.

Personally, I am blessed with a very great godmother of 30 years who taught me the value of positive psychology even before I study this module in my university.

There is no reason to be angry over very little things. The flip side of it is I want to live happily and yes, happiness and anger cannot go together, that is not just your opinion. It is actually a stated fact that "positive emotions undo negative emotions (Fredrickson, 2001).

Let's enjoy our short-lived life at its best.

Regards - Mariam

Causes of anger differ from one person to another. After all, it is the response to relieve certain stress, Sometimes it is easy to get angry because of your physiological conditions such as being hypertensive or diabetic or being in agony. It is a situation that reflects that you cannot bear more than that. 

Dear Colleagues,

Good Day,

See, how does "Sebastian Vettel" get angry"?:

"There are a few things that make me angry. Mostly things not going my way."

Dear Mariam,

Thanks a lot sharing relevant information about Anger and happiness.

Tanu Gupta has shared the following information to this question through message..

Anger is one of the strongest emotions but a destructive one. It can be very harmful in many situations. When a person gets something contrary to his expectations gets frustrated and gets out of control. This is actually a complex struggle between id and ego which when unsatisfied leads to anger.

Thanks Tanu Gupta

Mahajan Sagar Bhaskar Ranjana has shared the following information to this question through message..

Dear Colleagues,

"Four Reasons Why We Get Angry

Anger is a dangerous emotion, both for others and possibly for ourselves, yet it is very common and very human. Here are four types of anger that appear in four different situations.

Aggressive Anger

Anger is the emotion of fighting and when a person is angered they will naturally seek to attack others. When we are angry, we care less about other people and will more readily hurt them. In fact when we are angry, our values change, going from 'be nice' to 'inflict harm'.

Many animals prefer aggressive posturing to fighting as even a cut can turn septic and be fatal. People, too, often express anger first as a threat, using both attacking words andaggressive body language. In this way, anger is a common persuasive method that threatens harm if the other person does not concede.

When a person wants to attack another, for whatever reason, they may deliberately get themselves angry, for example by thinking of how poorly the world has treated them or how the other person deserves punishment. Fighters do this when they stereotype and depersonalize the enemy as they work themselves up into a berserker rage.

There is a danger in being too angry in a fight. The angry attacker is seldom subtle and often depends on invoking fear that triggers submission or error. A skilled opponent may use this, perhaps even provoking anger and then coolly predicting moves in order to slip around the obvious frontal attack.

Defensive Anger

When a person is suddenly attacked, then the primitive fight-or-flight reaction is triggered., for which a boost of adrenaline gives power to muscles. To fight, you need to be quick and hit hard. To run away, speed and agility are also of the essence.

An initial emotional response to threat is fear, which gives motivation to run away. If the person is cornered or flight seems unwise (such as where reputation matters), then fighting may seem a better option. While fear can lead to the courage of desperation, it is not the best emotion for fighting. This is a reason why fear often turns to anger and the defensive person may appear as an aggressor.

When one person uses aggressive anger as a persuasive tool and the other turns to defensive anger then a loud argument may ensue. If the person defending turns to individual attack as a distraction or as retribution, then a pattern of alternating attack and defense may appear. In this way the original subject of discussion may get lost as the fight becomes personal.

Outraged Anger

In order to live together in society we follow both formal and informal rules, including social norms and values. Typical rules include being fair as well as not harming others and supporting vulnerable other people.

Where there is a problem with people not conforming to informal norms then formal laws may be introduced, for example about stealing. A formal system of enforcement needs police and judges. Infringements of informal rules are dealt with by individuals and social groups, where punishments include criticism and exclusion. Those attacked with moral outrage and righteous indignation often have to make amends in some way to be accepted back into society, for example by apologizing or recanting.

When a person breaks these rules we may well feel an angry sense of betrayal and moral outrage, seeing the person as being bad and deserving of harsh punishment. Even single transgressions may receive severe treatment when the crime is considered to be particularly selfish or uncaring.

Moral outrage is a common tool of newspapers and other media who amplify transgressions with emotive language to trigger widespread anger at target people. Outrage is also a tool of power in politics, religion and elsewhere in life, where individuals effectively say 'If you are not also angry then you are a bad person.' This is a 'with us or against us' false dilemmatechnique, intended to force others into agreement.

Frustrated Anger

As a part of survival and meaning-making we create personal goals, things we then seek to achieve. These range from short-term desires, such as getting to work, to longer-term objectives, such as getting promoted.

When we achieve out goals, as well as the material benefits we gain a sense of satisfaction or delight as our need for a sense of control is satisfied. When things do not go to plan then we quickly become frustrated and angry. This is why traffic jams, for example, are so annoying. When things happen over which we have no control and which stop us achieving our intent then we tend to vent our anger verbally and on those around us, for example in bad driving and 'road rage'.

Deliberately frustrating others is an act of control that demonstrates power and seeks status. When others block our actions, refuse permission or withdraw resources, we feel angry but may not be able to show it as to do so might attract further unkindness.

Frustration is a key source of stress and yet we still let it happen, as to take less stressful action is to admit a loss of control. We may direct anger inward, criticizing ourselves for lack of planning or preparation. We may also project our anger onto others, even those who are clearly innocent yet just happen to be nearby."....

Dear Colleagues,

Good Day,

"Anger is one letter short of danger. "

                                                         ~Author Unknown

We are born with our HEAD ,MIND,& BRAIN which runs activity of our life to carry out the performance our career development with the feeling for the family & to certain way our standing to society .

While performing our activities very often we come across a different unexpected result with keep our mind under DEPRESSION,IRRITATION,TENSION ,WORRIES & FRUSTRATION & this depression last unless with our thinking we may keep our conscious mind under calmness & also finding out our thinking under the calm atmosphere.

As we all are aware that we as human being have with us certain element just as PRIDE,ANGRY,JEALOUSLY ,EGO ,ATTACHMENT ,GREED& such other related areas . In our day to day life we have to pass in one or another way from the said elements & this may create atmosphere & environment under a disturbing temperament causing Angry attitude in our mind & this also gets reflected on our face.

Whatever may be our achievement in order to have a better life under a good atmosphere we must control the said elements through different ways by controlling our mind .

This is my personal opinion 

You rightly wrote that a natural reaction to pain or being hurt is anger. Not showing his anger is a great quality in a person. Stopping anger is something like drinking slow poison.

Anger is an emotion characterized by antagonism toward someone or something you feel has deliberately done you wrong.

Anger can be a good thing. It can give you a way to express negative feelings, for example, or motivate you to find solutions to problems.

But excessive anger can cause problems. Increased blood pressure and other physical changes associated with anger make it difficult to think straight and harm your physical and mental health.

Adapted from the Encyclopedia of Psychology

Dear Mr. Mahamad Nabab Alam,

Anger is an emotion in response to an unmatched stimulus. It can be minimized by depth of knowledge.  

I think anger used to degrade the personality what ever may be the cause.

Anger is a kind of emotion which is due to a particular neurotransmitter Adrenaline. 

the situation which a person dislikes

Anger makes me feel upset with myself. Anger has been always one of my greatest challenges. Anger can appear to be irrational but if you learn to look below the surface you will find the real causes of anger. Each person has different beliefs and interpretations in their mind that produce emotions in their own individual way. When we perceive a danger of being hurt, the fight mechanism of anger helps to ensure our protection. Decide you don’t want to add to the hate in this world. There are many other positive emotions you can enjoy when you make the effort to let go of your anger. you have a sincere desire to eliminate unnecessary and unwanted anger from your life and relationships, then consider investing in yourself.

The frustration that things do not go as planned, were often generates penalty in some people and in others anger. Injustice also often generates anger and discontent.

If we consider anger, or at least what often arises from anger as aggression then there is a theorya that agression arises from frustration. Of course one aspect is also how we deal with agression, how constrcutive or destrcutive we are in managing challenges, and this includes managing our anger.

"Four Reasons Why We Get Angry

So what?

Understand anger and do not let it control you. Use it wisely and carefully, and when you are angry be careful about of the harm you may do.

When others are angry, they can be provoked into things they would not normally do or say, but beware of their irrationality. If you want to have a reasoned argument, wait for them to calm down.",...

Dear Colleagues, Good Day,

Please, see...

Anger is the emotional energy you generate for the fight against that perceived threat. This dynamic of jealousy can completely destroy her relationships and happiness. The key to anger prevention is to identify the false beliefs at the root of your emotions. Beliefs are the elemental structure in the mind that cause us to generate certain thoughts and interpretations about things. False beliefs, coupled with other factors like, point of view, combine to create destructive emotional reactions. Changing your point of view and false beliefs requires a little more introspective work than simply counting to ten or taking deep breaths. If you have a sincere desire to eliminate unnecessary and unwanted anger from your life and relationships, then consider investing in yourself. Take the time to become aware of your internal dialog, beliefs, how they affect your emotions, and how to change them. With that awareness you can change what goes on in your mind and get rid of your anger permanently.
