Relational Aggression In Children

Decent Essays
This presentation was very intriguing. Although people have made many efforts to stop violence and bullying, this is something that still happens in our society. It should be addressed since it does impact a child's development. Personally, I believe family, friends, and social media have the most influence on this kind of behavior. For example, if a child sees some form of aggression in their home, then they will most likely mirror those behaviors later on in life. Also, I believe that relational aggression is more common in girls because we pay more attention to our social status and care more about our relationships with others than boys do. Males like to deal with stuff more physically. Therefore, they are more likely to actually get into

    In Anna North’s New York Times article, “What Grown-Ups Are Missing About Boys,” the focal point is how boys, relatively have been understudied when it comes to social behaviors deemed cruel and damaging, in comparison to girls (North, Para. 1). Reason being is that these behaviors or “relational aggression,” are generally attributed to females (2014, Mean Girls), in North’s article, a study conducted by Dr. Orpinas reveals, the percentage of boys that displayed relational aggression in early years, outweighed the percentage of girls (North, Para. 3).

    Violence throughout the world is a major problem. Men, women, and children are victimized by violence every day. Ending the cycle of violence can start by properly teaching and demonstrating nonviolent forms of disciplining youth in school and at home. By practicing nonviolent forms of discipline children are less likely to grow up using violence to solve day to day problems. Children who receive violent acts of discipline have a higher risk of engaging in antisocial behavior, responding to conflict with aggression, poor academic achievement, deteriorating trust between child and adult, and turning to crime.…

Like a garden that has to slowly grow in order to flourish, an emphasis on moral and character development should be put into the fabric of the community, replacing the hostility or aggressiveness, which is created by child academic or social competition. Another technique Bazelon discuses to diminish bullying are the bystander’s influence. She points out that both cyber and face-to-face bullying typically occur in front of an audience and on average only twenty percent of bystanders stand up to the bullies. Bazelon notes that stereotypical Hollywood-heroic actions are not needed to stand up to a bully.…

    As human beings, we all go through developmental cycles, but during our teenage cycle we come across problems which in my opinion results in teen relational aggression towards one another. Relational aggression among boys is typically physical. But between girls it becomes relational, leaving them feeling rejected, “less than” and with a damaged sense of self. Boys grow out of this phase by resolving issues physically, but girls don’t. Girls usually take out their anger among one another by bad mouthing and putting each other down.…

    Within the studies, literature, and the differential theory and social learning theory reviewed, there is an overwhelming common thread among the data reviewed that supports the claim that said exposure to violence has a detrimental impact on the development and behavior of a child.

    Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay are the children of villains in the Disney franchise. These characters are the product and embodiment of their parents’ evil ways due to them being taught these conceptions from adolescence. Due to one’s family being everything they’ve ever known, negative vices are taught from one’s parents stemming from childhood, which lead to one’s perspective of the world being negatively influenced in accordance with these immoralities.

Rowell and Jessica). when kids are exposed to media full of aggression and violence, it can increase antisocial and bullying behavior and decrease their empathy for victims of violence(James P…
