Victimisation

Great post Mallory. I found a great deal of literature on the large amount of bullying occurs within the adolescent LGBQT population, along with how that effects those individuals. When negative experiences occur in childhood or K-12, they can have a lifelong effect on an individual, like we learned at Residency II. Per Bailey (2015) the bullying and torment of LGBTQ students and adult leaves them as silent victims and makes them a “silent sexual minority” (p. 69). Furthermore, our society has…

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. It is important to be dismissed as an offense because many harmless people with non malicious intent have been punished with anything from small punishments to, in more serious cases,…

There are several family theories can help on explaining how serious bullying actual is. The first theory is ecological theory by Bronfenbrenner (Cobb, 2010). Rather than explaining how bullying will negatively influence on children, this theory explains how many ways bullying can happen on children. In this theory, he stated that people are influenced by several social subsystems. The first subsystem that can directly impact on a person is microsystem, which is comprised by family members,…

The education in Sparta was extremely rigorous. They had to train hard and were prepared for war, so their lessons were centered on this. Boys started training as young as the age of seven. The weaknesses of Spartan education outweigh the strengths because the training was harsh, children were encouraged to steal, and many subjects were not taught. To begin with, the training was very demanding. Much of the physical activity the children practiced could injure them. For example, during…

In chapter 13, one of the topics discussed is bullying. In general, bullying is an act pursued in repetition by a superior individual in attempts to degrade, taunt, or hurt another person who is ultimately powerless in the situation. The book describes bullying in four different types which include physical, verbal, relational, or cyberbullying. Genetics, brain abnormalities, home life, and peers play an important role in whether someone becomes a bully. Although, most bullies grow up to suffer.…

According to Harlan Coben, a writer from The New York Times, it’s necessary that parents use spyware. As he said “Loving parents are doing the surveillance…” and not unknown officials. (Coben) Coben’s argument is that parents should use spyware. He noted that teens nowadays are exposed to so much on the internet. A great amount of parents aren’t taking this in mind. (Coben). I totally agree with Coben’s argument by using spyware for the protection of danger within them and within the interweb.…

My personal assumption when it comes to the factors that might influence large sections of a society to be willing to commit mass executions against another part of society would be possibly due to hatred instilled in them at a young age resulting from their differences, they feel threatened by this other part of society, they feel superior to this other part of society in some way or they have been taught to believe executions are a just way of handling their differences. For example, mankind…

Everybody is Somebody Imagine going to school everyday and getting made fun of. According to the American SPCC, which is a bullying prevention group, “On average, 70.6% of young people say they have seen bullying in their schools” (Bullying). This causes many students to become violent. The NVEEE, which stands for, National Voices for Equality, Education, and Enlightenment states, “About 10% to 20% of children who become the target of bullying go on to perpetrate the same aggression as well,…

Theme - Death Intro Paragraph- The book Thirteen Reasons Why probably has the most connections with high school and teenagers than any book I have read before. The theme that I have chosen is death, because it surrounds the whole book. It relates to the book through the cassette tapes that Hannah records, always reminding that she committed suicide. It also relates to real life through all the teen suicides that occur from the actions coming from another person. First Paragraph- The theme of…

Should people be allowed to obscure their identities online? Obscuring information is the act of hiding information online. Many people rely on obscurity to hide personal information because sometimes it's hard to be discovered. People shouldn't be allowed to obscure their identities online, because they hide their real identity, and comment anonymously affecting public spaces and figures. To start with, people shouldn't have the right to hide their identity because perverts could take…
