With all the stories being reported about children hurting themselves because they are being bullied, there needs to be some sort of indication about who should be held liable.

...Madera High School staff does not have the right people for those who suffer bullying to go to. When a student tells a teacher about the bullying that the teens is going through the teen expects to receive help from the staff members.

In the survey conducted students were asked that in a scale from 1-10 how often do people get bullied in Madera High School and there was an average of 135 students whom said that there was people being bullied from about 5-7.

...get in trouble for a fight between only the two of you and no one else. Not fair right? Students are badly punished for posting small comments about another person on social media when they aren’t even in school. And it is not fair for people to get in trouble for posting videos of fights because they are technically helping the administrators catch the students who actually where in the fight. Bullying leads to suicidal thoughts or actions to a person. The first reason that students should not be punished for what they do online is because they have the resources to post what they please, although it may not be the kindest or most appropriate. Teachers should not be given the right to look through student...

...University of Phoenix Material Research Plan As part of your research plan, you must first draft a research question for your research paper that will guide the rest of your writing. A research question, which is more specific and focused than a general topic, is the question that your research paper will answer. For example, if your general area of interest is social security, a possible research question might ask, “How can low-income families save more money if the United States had a reformed social security plan that includes personal retirement accounts?” As you develop a research question, remember that you need to research sources to support your topic. Do not pick a one-sided question that will limit your research. Instead, develop a research question that lends itself to further exploration and debate—a question you genuinely want to know the answer to. Try to pick a research question that is neither too broad (covering too much) or too narrow (covering too little). It should be broad enough to be discussed in a short research paper. Part 1: Complete the Research Plan |What is your general topic or area of interest? |Bullying | | | | | | ...

...A White Paper from the Society for Human Resource Management BULLIES IN THE WORKPLACE: A FOCUS ON THE “ABUSIVE DISRESPECT” OF EMPLOYEES By Teresa A. Daniel “Bullying is the sexual harassment of 20 years ago; everybody knows about it, but nobody wants to admit it”. —Lewis Maltby (Russell, 2001) The purpose of this paper is to review the current research and literature about workplace bullying, to provide information about how organizations can learn to more quickly identify bullies and to suggest ways of dealing with these toxic people so that the corporate culture is not negatively impacted by their behavior. Overview To be successful, organizations must create an atmosphere that inspires both innovation and risk-taking. In an increasingly competitive global economy, such innovation is more important than ever before (Hamel, 2000). However, not only does workplace bullying stifle productivity and innovative practices, but bullies often target the organization’s most talented employees—those individuals who are generally the most threatening to bullies (McCord & Richardson, 2001). As a result, the creativity and productivity of the organization’s most talented human capital is often negatively affected by this type of behavior at work or, worse yet, good employees are driven out of the company altogether. Bullies are often hard to identify because they operate “under cover”—that is, on the surface they appear to be civil and cooperative, while they do ...

...Criminal Deviance: Bullying Cherry Sanders Prof. Sheila Farr Intro to Sociology November 15, 2015 The most important step in the students guide to research that you would need in order to analyze bulling would be formulating a research question. Formulating a research question precisely and carefully is one of the most important steps to ensure a successful paper. You need to make clear your definition of the term and how that will be measured. In my opinion the critical step of research is to think of a solid researchable question to form your research around. A successful research paper depends upon how well a student formulates the research question. This will determine how well your research will turn out. Bullying is “verbal or physical behavior designed to disturb someone less powerful” (Santrock 372)—“the most malicious and malevolent form of deviant behavior widely practiced in our schools” (Tattum 7). This is the best way I can explain how bullying relates to different types of deviance. Deviance is any behavior, action, practice, or condition, including those that violate cultural norms or social laws, that result in disapproval, hostility, or sanction if it becomes known. Bullying and Deviance go hand in hand, because bullying is a behavior that is considered not to be of normal behavior and in today’s society the people doing the bullying are being punished, because this behavior is such a problem.

This qualitative assessment will help in preparing for doctoral journey by comparing, contrasting and synthesizing what each researcher has stated in their research papers. Article 1 was a research on workplace bullying that focused on individuals and situation predictors that engaged in bullying others. The purpose of the research was to examine the reason that perpetrators in the workplace bully their co-workers. Article 2 focused on trait anger and anxiety that may relate to individuals being labeled as victims of workplace bullying or what is the relationship between the acts of bullying. The purpose behind this study was to determine what influences are in place that causes a victim in the workplace to be bullied.

This research method provide social workers with a better understanding of issues and situations. Qualitative research inform social workers about the best way to help people who are in need of assistance. Qualitative research is useful for social workers to obtain knowledge in complex or sensitive situations for example workplace bullying. Many issues in the social working profession fall within the area of sexuality and mental health issues, qualitative research is one of the best ways for social workers to find the help for individuals with these types of problems (Rubin, 2014). This paper will discuss a article about issues of workplace bullying of social workers, and coping responses. The article was a cross-sectional, non-experimental case study of social worker's perceptions of bullies at the workplace and the social worker's ability to create coping responses to workplace bullying.

The qualitative sample included 111 male and female social workers from Washington D.C. The final outcome results were three...

...Abstract Kowalski, R.,& Westen. D. (2005). Psychology (4th ed.). Hoboken, NJ: Wiley This paper will examine basic concepts of human interaction from a psychology perspective. It will describe at least two examples of how human behavior changes based on social situations. The two behaviors that this paper will examine are teenagers who drink in a crowd of their peers but don't drink when they are alone and taking part in bullying in a group but not alone. In both of these scenarios the individual who participates in the behaviors to fit in are “changing their attitudes or behavior to accommodate the standards of peers or group by a process called conformity (Kowalski & Westen, 2005).” The paper will also discuss precursors and consequences of both of these behaviors. Next, the paper will analyze and identify any associated phenomenon like social facilitation, social loafing , or groupthink. Last, there will be some discussion from the NIMH on whether or not these behaviors necessitate intervention. Social Influences Paper Introduction “Sociologist and philosophers have recognized that people behave different in crowds than they do as individuals and that a crowd is more than the mere sum of its parts (Kowalski & Westen, 2005).” Human behavior changes based on the social situations they encounter. This paper will examine basic concepts of human interaction from a psychology perspective. It will describe at least...

...Stages of the Research Process ES/351 July 21, 2015 Stages of the Research Process The first stage in the research process is critical in capturing information data and evidence that will solidify a business research. The two articles chosen for this paper from the University library are bullying and no child left behind act in regards to American schools. The paper will state the purpose of the research and determine the research questions and hypotheses for each article. Hypothesis occurs when a proposition is formulated for empirical testing, and a research question is the hypothesis that best states the objective of the research (Cooper & Schindler, 2014). “A declarative statement about the relationship between two or more variables, a hypothesis is of a tentative and conjectural nature” (Cooper & Schindler, 2014, pg58). In addition, the paper will identify the independent and dependent variables being manipulated or measured for each article. “The general research process contains three major stages, exploration of the situation, the collection of data, and analysis and interpretation of results” (Cooper & Schindler, 2014, pg139). The critical first stage is to clarify the research question. A better way to approach the research process is to state the basic dilemma, which will prompt the research to develop other questions by progressively breaking down the original question into more specific ones (Cooper &...
