Terming anger as a part and parcel of life, Sharma asked, “Do we live our lives or rather social roles?” In his lecture, Sharma also spoke about various factors responsible for aggression.
“From socio-cultural factors to one’s genetic make-up, a list of factors govern the level of anger in people. Children who grow up in families that do not communicate usually turn into angry individuals. Hence, it is important to keep the channels of communication open,” said Sharma.
Giving a thumbs up sign to women, he maintained that they are neurologically better equipped in coping with anger. “Women express their anger indirectly due to the negative feedback they get from society. But at the same time, women are able to survive bouts of anger in a better way compared to men. A man’s ego is the biggest roadblock in letting him resolve aggression as they do not share their emotions,” felt Sharma. Professor Manju Mehta, Department of Psychiatry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, presented the keynote address on the occasion.
