The Constructive Use of Anger Anger as a social conditions experienced by millions of people in the less developed countries; anger

at governments that cater to the wishes of the wealthy at the expense of women, children, visible minorities; anger at a social welfare; anger at discrimination, exploitation and blocked opportunities simply because they belong to particular social group. Western perspective, bottling up anger was considered harmful to the individual and should be recognized, defused, and contained (McKissock 1998). Social Workers would often help the person experienced anger to talk about their anger, have someone hear and acknowledge it, and show that they are on side with the individual. Allan (2005) points out that anger is neither an inherently positive nor inherently negative emotions nor it that just as it may be destructive; it can also be constructive. Thompson (1998) asserts that anger can be a positive force for change if it is challenged constructively, but if it gets out of control or is misdirected or used as a blanket approach to struggles to liberation, it can be used ideologically by the dominant group to anthologize and stigmatize subordinate group members and their anti-oppressive allies. It has been the driving force behind all great social movements. It can move oppressed people and their allies from feelings of helpless fury to righteous indignation (Herman 1992, 198). Collectively, anger emerges as a moral protest at injustice. Bishop (1994, 84) identifies anger as a source of power if it is used as an expression of our will directed against injustice.
