DO THESE TWO PARAGRAPHS SAY THE SAME THING? #1 Some impulses seem to be easier to control than others. Anger, not surprisingly, is one of the hardest, perhaps because of its evolutionary value in priming people to action. Researchers believe anger usually arises out of a sense of being trespassed against-- the belief that one is being robbed of what is rightfully his. The body’s first response is a surge of energy, the release of a cascade of neurotransmitters called catecholamines. If a person is already aroused or under stress, the threshold for release is lower, which helps explain why people’s tempers shorten during a hard day (Gibbs 64). #2 Anger is an impulse that is hard to control, because it triggers a reaction. Anger can accompany a sense of being robbed or being trespassed against (Gibbs). When someone is at a higer level of stress, the rate in which they would become angry is gradually slower.
