Critical Thinking: Is Being Outraged Another Way For Some To Receive Attention?

In today's world, it is not uncommon to hear about someone who is outraged about something. But while this is nothing new, there is something that is new, and this relates to the kind of things that people get worked up about.

A Mountain Out of a Mole Hill

If someone got worked up about something in the past, it may have been a sign that something bad had actually taken place. These days, it could simply show that someone has come across someone that 'offends' them.

For example, what another person has said in the real world or online could have been enough to cause this person to self-destruct. Even so, it is unlikely that this person will believe that there is anything wrong with their behaviour.

Perfectly Normal

They could believe that they are behaving in the right way, and that something needs to be done about what has taken place. One can then come across as though they have absolutely no self-control, but they will feel as though they are right and what they are getting offended about is wrong.

This could be something that takes place from time to time, or this could be something that happens more or less every day. And, while this could be something that typically occurs when they are around others, it might be something that is more like to occur when they are online.
