An issue that I assumed had undergone some change is bullying, but based on the article I found, it has not. I found an article of an event that took place 100 years ago about a boy that murdered his tormentor with a pocket knife for bullying him. The most recent article that I read was about how four teens bullied and murdered a classmate with a machete.

Although I don’t think that the effects of bullying have changed, I do know that the level in which it takes place has evolved; it now includes cyber bullying.

    I am applying to York’s Education: Language, Culture and Teaching program to further investigate the role of social pathologies, structural-pedagogical policy frameworks, and the consequential affective and behavioural developments in reaction to (cyber)bullying. Potential supervisors whose current research areas of interest coincide with my intentions are: Professor Sue Winton and Professor Lisa Farley. Professor Sue Winton’s incentive towards policy-making expounds my interests in the discursive implications of anti-bullying discourse frameworks. Coincidental, Professor Winton`s article critically evaluating how policy constructs bullying in Ontario, is intimate to the premise of my research analyzing how Canadian post-secondary anti-bullying…

    Today, I am writing you about the topic of cyberbullying. What I am arguing about cyberbullying, is that cyberbullying should not be a legitimate topic of concern. I have noticed that people have recently been talking about this as an extreme issue and, in many cases, I have seen that it is something very minimal.
