CONCLUSION
There are several identified risk factors for road rage including general personality traits, constantly running late and responding in such a manner as to cause the situation to escalate.

The education should be part of any driver education curriculum and there should be public service announcements made regularly through the media. Only by education will awareness happen and reduction follow.

Last Duchess Jealousy, Rage, and Possession in Browning's "My Last Duchess" Robert Browning's "My Last Duchess" emphasizes Victorian ideals of women and allows readers to understand how they were objectified. In this macabre poem, Browning uses the themes of jealousy, rage, and possessiveness to describe what motivated the Duke to behave as he did. In the poem, the unnamed narrator has transformed his wife into an object on numerous occasions and
Path-Goal and Expectancy Theories During the 1980 Winter Olympic Games held in Lake Placid, New York, the United States Men's ice hockey team, comprised of predominantly college players with no experience in international play, performed one of the most celebrated feats in the annals of team sport.
