Parrillo's Views On Frustration

Decent Essays
Frustration is anger from not getting what one wants and when that is too much for a person to handle they go find someone they can let that frustration out on, they’ll find anyone to blame but themselves. Parrillo addresses, “The result may be displaced aggression; in this situation, the frustrated individual or group usually redirects anger against a more visible, vulnerable, and socially sanctioned target that is unable to strike back” ( Parillo 510). This suggests that when individuals are angered about something not going there way they aim at blaming innocent people who don’t have power to fight back, making it an unfair. Ellis had a similar situation where he claimed he was doing everything the country told him to adhere by, and all

    Melville viewed the Civil War as a bloody battle between brothers. His poetry shows the true side to the Civil War, without all of the grandeur and pageantry that other authors have used to describe battles. I believe that his feelings on the war were that it was, like every war, an old mans war that was fought by young men. This can easily be seen in his poem The March into Virginia. Melville wrote, “Youth must its ignorant impulse lend-…

    Happiness is a word that is seen in a multitude of different ways by a multitude of different people. Everyone has their own idea of what happiness means to them, but it is a word that has no set definition. The author of “Happiness and Its Discontents”, Daniel Haybron views happiness as an entire emotional spectrum that is affected by several factors such as life satisfaction and being exposed to both pain and pleasure. Whereas Ed Diener and Robert Biswas-Diener the authors of “Can Money Buy Happiness”, describe happiness as the emotion someone feels when they obtain an object they believe will improve their life and can be acquired within their means.

    Just about everything in life can be taken to one of two extremes – to either too much, or too little. It is often because of these extremes that people are driven away from good things, things that they need or even ought to have. Sadly, we find these extremes abundant in our societies. We often have people that, when it comes to resisting government law, go to the wrong extremes; they either resist too little (or not at all) what needs to be resisted; or resist too much, turning their resistance into a wild, destructive rage. Because of extremes like this, many people have turned against resistance – many see it as some kind of evil, because they are repelled by the radical actions they see, such as weakness in face of bad laws, or extreme, violent reaction.…

    Many people are discontent with the United States government. Ironically, the very same peoples’ actions often contradict their extensive complaints. An innumerable number tend to sit around and whine that things could be better while playing the role of spectators. They act as though they are watching a stage performance; they clap when the show is going well, and boo when it is not to their satisfaction, instead of participating in the show to add improvements. Peaceful resistance is frequently overlooked, but can prompt favorable changes in a society.…

    The philosophers Aristotle and Augustine both wrote extensively on what they believed happiness was and how to achieve the good life. However, both prolific thinkers had differing opinions on achieve this goal. For example, Aristotle believed that the path to the good life was obtained through reason; whereas Augustine believed that it was obtained through Scripture and Divine Revelation because God’s grace helps one to achieve the good life, but reason alone is not enough to get that. In Nichomachean Ethics, Aristotle shares his belief that the way to a good life, which he refers to as happiness, is achieved through reason.…

    CONCLUSION There's a very low anger that resides in any respectable, intelligent person in this society about what goes on, and how impotent we seem to be to correct what goes on, and how we give power to people who don't deserve to possess power because they abuse it, and manipulate it, and treat people with contempt, and treat international law with contempt. (Louise Jury, ‘Harold Pinter: Not a Word Out of Place’. 22 February 2007.)…
