Abstract

This article traces the roots of aggression, anger and violence in South Africa and the rest of the world. The paper is divided into four parts: Aggression, Anger, Catharsis and Violence. As a result of violence against other human beings, especially women and children, a profound respect for human dignity has been lost. People have become extremely aggressive. The last few decades have created a culture of violence because of the suppression or oppression of feelings. The article argues that frustration yields anger that leads to violent acts. The root cause of violence is frustration, which finally (if not attended to) produces anger, anxiety, conflict and the eruption of violence. Suicide bombers in Palestine and other parts of the world demonstrate this type of aggression, anger and violence. Anger, on the one hand, is a good defense mechanism. It helps people cope with frustration. Violence, on the other hand, is used as a means of dominance, especially against women and children. In a political situation it is used as a means of changing social structures.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

There is little doubt that aggression and violence are true realities that are experienced by South Africans and the rest of the world. A lot of young people kill themselves and others commit violent murder through suicide bombing This kind of violence is a result of a strategic process embarked upon by weak and desperate people who are oppressed. The above incidents indicate to us how Turkey is suffering from dysfunctional violence. This kind of violence shifts people’s anger away from individuals or institutions that exercise power within unjust systems and onto others. According to the African way of living, we needed to cleanse the nation with a ceremony where people would have participated in order to heal the nation In this new democracy, those who are angry, unemployed find it difficult to relate to others who violated their human rights. With this concept in mind, let us analyze the issue of aggression
