Welcome Witboii & The One Man Can
Written by admin on March 13, 2013Comments

 

Welcome Witbooi joined a gang when he was young so that he could feel like he belonged to something. His father would regularly tell him that he would amount to nothing, and this became a common occurrence for Welcome.

Welcome states that people in the gang used to applaud him for abusing and hurting other people – people looked up to him for causing pain to others. Kidnapping, fighting and violence were normal activities in Welcome’s day to day life, and he got further involved with the gang carrying out large robberies and violent crimes.

Eventually sentenced to prison for his crimes, Welcome discovered another side of life, and enrolled in the prison programme called the One Man Can. This made him realize that he didn’t want to spend the rest of his life being angry and violent, and made Welcome realize that he wanted to leave his gang days behind him.

Welcome left prison a few years ago, and is a full time support worker for young boys, showing them that there are...

South Africa - An Angry Nation?
Written by admin on March 11, 2013Comments

 

South Africa has been featured a lot in the news recently, with the Oscar Pistorius case being a prominent feature in the recent news. It’s always been known that the South African Police have heavy handed ways of dealing with trouble, but people are beginning to stand up to authority, venting their anger over the way people are treated in SA.

Graca Machel, the human rights activist and wife of Nelson Mandela said the anger sprung from “unaddressed” issues around the country’s apartheid past, adding: “We have to be more cautious about how we deal with a society that is bleeding and breathing pain”.

Her comments are seen as deeply significant as both she and her husband have previously...

Anger over Birmingham stabbing
Written by admin on March 8, 2013Comments

It’s always a sad day when a young person passes away, but when the circumstances are completely preventable, it makes it all the more tragic. Yesterday, the UK awoke to the news that a 16-year-old girl had been stabbed to death on her bus journey to school.

Rumoured to be a male friend of hers, the attacker stabbed the victim numerous times before calmly walking off the bus and running away. At the time of writing, one 22 year old man has been arrested and police have stated they are not looking for anyone else in conjunction with the murder.

Anger is always a common side effect of murders like this, and it’s understandable that people become agitated and disgusted by certain behaviour. It’s important to remember that someone has lost their life, and whilst it’s easy to point fingers and blame society, sometimes it’s best just to let the matter drop and respect the deceased.

Anger does need addressing in our society, and luckily there are...

Florida considers anger management courses for all gun owners
Written by admin on March 7, 2013Comments

 

Mandatory anger management courses for all gun owners? Refresher courses to be taken every ten years? This is the news that many Americans woke up to, as it’s announced that a Florida legislator has drafted a bill to force everyone who owns, or intends to buy a gun to take anger management courses before they are allowed control of the weapons. There will also be a mandatory three day cooling off period after completing the course until the buyer is allowed the purchase the gun.

With a mixed reaction from Florida residents, many people thought it was a joke when they first saw the headline, and very few believe it’s realistic to implement.

“When I first saw it, I thought it had to be a joke,” said Sean Caranna, executive director of Florida Carry, a non-profit group championing the right to bear arms.

People who want to buy a firearm will be required to present a certificate showing that they have completed an anger management course at least three days prior...

An Overview Of Stress
Written by admin on March 6, 2013Comments

 

Stress is a problem that affects us all, and many of us will be familiar with the signs of stress on a regular basis. Financial problems, busy times at work, the loss of a family or friend amongst other distressing day-to-day situations are all common causes of stress. It’s natural to experience small amounts of day-to-day stress, but too much stress can begin to affect your quality of life, both mentally and physically.

Controlling and managing your stress levels is possible, so long as you are able to recognize the causes and symptoms of stress. Many people suffering with stress are so used to being in the mind-set that they often forget what is actually causing their stress in the first place.

So what is stress?

Stress is the body’s natural reaction to harmful situations. Whenever you feel threatened or scared your body releases a chemical deigned to allow you to make decisions under tough circumstances. This...
