Anger - Rebecca Black's Friday

What day is your favorite day of the week? Rebecca Black has proved herself that her favorite day is Friday by releasing a song called "Friday". Having the word "Friday" 27 times in this short song, she has created a song which was quite famous for its poor design and structure.

This song brought anger to me for couple of reasons. First of all, I was mad toward Rebecca Black for making such terrbile song. The music was a mess with dumb lyrics. Secondly, I was angry toward the audience to the music. It seemed that the comments on the video seemed to discourage Rebecca Black instead of showing at least minimum encouragement.

Anger - 6.25 Incident

June 25th may be just a regular day. It may be someone's birthday or just another regular summer day during the long break. However, for South and North Koreans, June 25th is one of the most tragic days of the year.

It was year 1950, where the Soviet Union and the United States of America were at the top of the world. Soviets were spreading their power with Communism and the United States with Democracy. Being near to Soviet Union, North Korea was heavily impacted by communism. Concerned, the United States sent troops to stop the spreading of communism. On June 25th of 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea to spread the communist government. The war lasted until a truce treaty was signed.

As a Korean, 6.25 invasion brings torment and anger to my heart. First, I was angry to the fact that we were fighting against each other. As a country, it is obvious that we are to work together in order to become a stronger nation. However, we brought tragedy on our own hands. Second, I was angry because we were victims of the war between two of the strongest nations in the world. I felt that we were just used as puppets to see who would win between Democracy and Communism.

The invasion also fits the category Fear. Truce does not mean that the war is over. It simply indicates that the war has stopped for a certain amount of time. Basically, the treaty is a ticking time bomb. Koreans, including myself, always live in fear of reoccurence of war. As a fellow Korean, I surely hope that the two divided nations can resolve and come to a peaceful resolution after the long truce.

Anger - Hotel Rwanda

We all have difference. The diversity of the world would be nothing if the people are all the same. There are some people, however, who cannot accept the difference. Hotel Rwanda is a phenomenal example for such cases.

The movie is based on true story which happened on 1994 where approximately one million innocent citizens died because of a genocide during the Rwandan Civil War. During those troubled time, Paul Rusesabagina, managed to save over a thousand refugees using his hotel and social skills.

Hotel Rwanda has brought sadness and anger to numorous audience's heart. Personally, I was angry after watching the film by witnessing the cruelty and loss of genocide. A scene where Paul's car is driving over the dead bodies shocked me because such sight was impossible for me to imagine.

The movie, in my opinion, can also fall into category Fear. When I was watching the movie, I constantly kept thinking the possiblities of recurrence of genocide. Such act is immoral and shameful. I was frightened by thinking re-emergence of a genocide such as Hotel Rwanda and the Hologcaust.

Anger - Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Since the blog is about my favorite sport, I decided to put my angry emotions into this post as well. I love boxing. I boxed for 4 years myself. There is no Mike Tyson's match that I have missed. Every match I watch, I try to respect all players whether they are loser or winner. However, there is one boxer that I despise: Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Most boxers are well-mannered and accept the result of the fight. However, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is different. Extremely talented, he is very cocky. Also, his only goal in a match is too win. He does not show respect to other players.

For example, during a match with Ortiz, there was a incident where Ortiz accidently head butted Mayweather Jr. which is illegal. When Ortiz went to apologize, Mayweather Jr. punched him directly in the face and knocked Ortiz out.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s actions make me angry. In a sport which requires respect between both players, being a cocky player who lacks respect is not a good attitude before preparing for a fight. I realy do hope he loses his upcoming match on May.

Anger - Japan Tsunami - Crazy Girl Thanks God For Attack on Japan

In 2011, one of the most tragic natural incident happened. Japan was struck by massive tsunami. Numerous innocent lives were lost by the disaster. When everyone were mourning and sending relief supplies to Japan, weird woman posted a video on Youtube.com saying how happy she is about the loss. There are countless types of people in the world. However, I would say that these types of people are the worst you could ever find.

The summary of her video blog is that she was praying for God to touch aethists' heart. Then, not a long time after her prayer, Japan was struck by the tsunami. She was praising God for such incident.

This video is cagorized in emotion Anger because the video is extremely absurd. If I know correctly, the God from the Bible is not punishing but loving. There is no way that such God answered the girl's prayer to "destroy Japan".

Anger - Vulture Stalking a Child

Above photo is an iconic photo which represents the harsh environment starving children face in Africa. The photo was taken by photographer Kevin Carter at Ayod, Sudan in March 1993. This photograph was most effective in showing the despair in Africa which eventually won Pulitzer Prize.

This photo, with no explanation needed, falls into category of Anger. According to the photo, audience can find that the child is malnutritioned and is in a lethal state. I was angry to the fact that we as people who constantly claim sharing and showing care to one another, failed drastically.

Also, I was angry because of the photographer's action. If I was a photographer, I would put saving the child as a head priority. Although resulting in creating a iconic masterpiece, I think the photographer made an immoral choice.

The photograph also falls into category Fear. The photo only shows one child in a devastating situation. However, there will be countless amount of kids who are in same or even worse situation. When I watched the photograph, I was scared and sorry for the kids who will not be getting enough help to survive.

Anger - Taken

In our lives, there is one point where we strived for having revenge on someone who you despised. Ex-secret agent shows us how to show brutal retribution in professional way. Starring famous actor Liam Neeson, Taken is an action/thriller which shows true meaning of fatherly love and informs the audience to never mess with an ex-secret agent.

The story develops when the protagonist's daughter goes off to a music tour to Europe. Later, the daughter is kidnapped by group of trafficers and Neeson's character swears revenge to the group who did such immoral action. Eventually, after all the gory action, ex-agent rescues his daughter and safely bring her back home.

Taken definately falls into the category Anger because of the content shown in the film. The movie realistically portrays sad reality of human trafficing. There are scenes where I was extremely disgusted to a point where I wanted to pause the video. I was enraged that by the end of the movie, where the villian died in a gruesome way, I was happy that he got such punishment.

The movie falls into category Love because it shows the most extreme case of fatherly love. Liam Neeson's character risks his life to save his daughter without knowing what will become of him. To me, this si the true demonstration of family care and love.

Anger

Anger, in my opinion, is an emotion which holds the most ugliest facial expression. Also, showing such feelings is one of the most effective ways to destroy one's day the most. There are no cases where expressing anger has resulted in peaceful resolution. Truly, it is the last emotion you ever want to show. I believe that the following sources are most effective in provoking audience's anger:

Movie: Taken
Photo: Vulture Stalking a Child
Video: Crazy Girl Thanks God for Sending Tsunami to Japan
Celebrity: Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Movie: Hotel Rwanda
Event: 6/25 Incident
Song: Friday
Event: Bombing of S.Korea from N.Korea

The above list, in my opinion, lets audience to fully indulge their heart with anger and hatred. For example, the movie Taken enrages viewers by showing an innocent girl getting kidnapped and get involved with human trafficing. Other source, Hotel Rwanda provokes the audience's anger by showing a massive genocide of a group because of small differences from one another.

While reading the descriptions and reflections about the sources, I wish that you can also experience the same anger which I shall express.
