Do You Express Anger Constructively?

In many cultures, anger and aggression are not considered positive forces in human affairs. But no matter what an individual's culture, he or she must learn to channel anger constructively. Unfortunately, few of us are taught how to do this.

There are times when one must communicate, if not act upon, one's angry feelings. The trouble is that many of us confuse anger (a feeling state) with aggression (an act of violence). And this inhibits us from asserting our opinions.

Do you confuse the expression of anger with aggression? Do you know how to show anger in a constructive manner? The following quiz may provide an answer.
