Anger

I was only in class for about 15 minutes today so I do not have much to talk about. What I will say is that I agree completely with the idea that our preconceived notions of people can effect how we see them. If you hate someone you are having a conversation with you will automatically be offended by what they say. In connection with that is the idea of the self fulfilling prophecy, that idea that you believe something so you make it happen. This may occur with someone you dislike, you believe they will be rude to you so you are rude to them, causing them to be rude to you. Regardless of the reason it seems we enjoy anger because it makes us superior.
