'Discuss please'?..........why should I or anyone else discuss something because you demanded that we should?
How very dare you! Now you made me angry ;-)
(So, as a human being, I dislike being told what to do) Hope this helps.

Simply ~ and within the generally normal course of human interactions ~ we become angry because we feel hurt in some way or combinations of them.
These 'hurts' can come about because of perceived (real or misread) slights / misinformation / infringing on our personal space / being ignore / being accosted - accused and being endangered ( or any other 'perceived' threat ).
Generally, often because we have been traditionally taught to not expose our weakness's ( fears of threat, for example), many people now ( a newly born 'tradition' ) go almost straight into the 'Anger Mode,' safely by-passing the justification / explanation one.
I hope that helps you understand!
(no 'threats' implied here)

Physiological reasons--fear; threat, and I suppose anger if something/body interfers with our obtaining food, thirst and sexual gratification. Fear of others can then transform into anger as a protective mechanism; e.g., when women are confronted by abusive men. they instinctively become angry and defensive, since fear only encourages the abuser. Psychological reasons--early childhood abuse can bring rage, as adults, when others do not behave as they want them to. The abusers often provoke the wife/other person into behavior that replicates what the person's parent/abuser had done to them. E.g., if a child has been abandoned, then as an adult, they are so abusive to their mates that they drive THEM away; or provoke until the other person becomes enraged and retaliates. OR inadequate personality development can cause one person to become angry when the other is not meeting his emotional needs and doesn't know how to ask/behave in such a way to get the response of love, caring, etc., that he needs/wants. It's an individual case--and a lot of it is built in during childhood.

We are only human after all and this is part of our DNA. Anger is a way of letting go of all the bad feelings we have inside, but some people take there anger to the extremes.

Failings in others we know to be failings we have battled with and hopefully resolved in ourselves seems to be a major cause of anger. Because we have dealt with it we think this means someone else not having dealt with this failing means they just don't care or they don't show the same effort to be responsible adults as we do. The failing (usually represented by a procedural error or a sociological misread error causing offence) is usually offensive due to how "unnecessary" we deem it and we feel the error must be recognised. The extent to which the urge to make this recognised is displayed would be a measure of the anger.

wonky was making a point and not attacking you. People get angry for all sorts of reason and it is a necessary emotion like all the others it makes us aware of how strongly we feel about issues.

Anger happens for a number of reasons, not necesesarily because we dislike a certain person or situation.
eg My father died 23/6/07 and I was angry, but only with myself. Simply because I never told him how much I cared for him.

Anger is just one of the many emotions us humans possess. Although it is considered "ugly", it is as important an experience as the beautiful emotions like love & joy.
We just need to learn how to express it more effectively.

I get angry when people are rude and bossy. I also get angry at bullying. I don't know why, exactly. I think it is because they wouldn't like it being done to themselves but think it is ok to do it to others!
