Girl Behind the Fence: Anger

It may surprise you to know that 70% of human behavior is based on emotions, not logic. In fact, it is very easy to get increasingly irritated at people, places, and things. Animal lovers are angry because people eat meat, vegans are angry because of Monsanto, dancers are angry because a non-dancer was chosen for their event poster, environmentalists are angry because of developers, young mothers are angry over immunizations, and the list goes on.

However anger, which is characterized by a feeling of antagonism toward someone or something that you feel has deliberately done you wrong, is not always bad. In fact, angry feelings often provide the motivation needed to solve social issues such as gender inequality, the environment, minimum or stagnant wages, taxes, and student loans. This was the case with many historical figures such as Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi.

Science has shown us that nothing exists without it's opposite. Unfortunately science has also shown us some disturbing facts.
