The world may have not of had a term for it back in those days however making a individual or individuals feel as if they are not equal or less than them has always been an unfortunate situation humans have had to fight rough whether in school, at the park or over the internet. Bullying is around and is getting worse the more the Internet expands and links individuals through social networking.

...Technology Class: Public Speaking Lecture: Dr. Samantha V. Evans-Knowles Student: Sheila Petit-Phar Date: 15th November 2014 Topic: Cyberbullying Bullying has been around for ages throughout most countries. It seems like most people have some memory of a bully intimidating or making fun of them. For many, bullying happened at school, but it can happen anytime in one's life. Many positive changes have affected our lives thanks to the information and technology explosion. However, there have been some negative consequences of the rapid expansion of the Internet and communication technology. One of those alarming issues is a new form of bullying called cyber bullying. Like bullying, many people feel that cyber bullying is not a big deal. This can occur through social networking sites like MySpace, Twitter, and Facebook, cell phone pictures and text messages, blog posts, or e-mails. Many feel that it is a normal part of life that people just need to deal with the best that they can. However, cyber bullying is something that should concern everyone. Cyber bullies use ruthless tactics and cyber bullying should be considered a crime because it is a form of harassment that causes victims to suffer feelings of depression, isolation, low self-esteem, humiliation, anxiety, and thoughts of suicide. Cyber bullying is very harmful. Phoebe Prince was your average 15 year old—attending high school, worrying about boys, clothes, and most importantly, fitting into her new high...

...Bullying Laws Worsen the Cause “Strict Anti-bullying Laws Could Actually Make Matters Worse” reports that “Following the 1999 Columbine High School massacre, an event blamed partly on the bullying of the two shooters, 48 states enacted strict anti-bullying laws…Despite such an aggressive approach, however, the problem has not disappeared.” The United States’ battle against bullying has been ineffective, even though anti-bullying laws have been enacted. As school personnel, researchers, and parents can understand, the solution to bullying does not pertain to anti-bullying laws. Instead, schools should rely more on effective ways to stop all cases of bullying, such as prevention programs, policies, rules, and research supported remedies. Using...

...BULLYING AND VIOLENCE 1 BULLYING AND VIOLENCE: WHEN WILL IT STOP DONNA ALLEN AIU ONLINE BULLYING AND VIOLENCE 2 ABSTRACT The safety of all schools is affected when bullying and violence is present.

...The Role of the Internet and Crime The internet has brought much advancement to our society. How we communicate with others and how we entertain ourselves has been greatly changed by the internet. We can stream videos, chat with friends, and purchase goods from any internet connected device. The internet has also brought many problems as well. Digital crime has been aided by the internet. The internet has given criminals a new avenue to do their deeds. Actions such as fraud, bullying, and sexual related crimes have all been aided by computers and their connection to the internet. Criminals have been committing fraud for ages. Fraud is defined as “an intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual” (“Fraud”). Such things like the bait and switch have been going on well before the internet. A person is told that an item is being sold for a really low price so the person goes in to purchase said item. Once they get to the store, they are told the item is unavailable and are switched to a more costly item. With the internet has come advertising which can potentially do the same thing. Online dating sites also do this by posting fake profiles to entice people to join or once joined get messaged by a fake profile to entice you into upgrading your account to message back. A few years ago, seven online merchants that operated more than 40 web sites paid out a $765,000 settlement for a bait and switch scam (Katzmaier). Once the customer placed...

...Abstract Every day bullying incidents occur and most are ignored by parents, teachers, students, and our judicial system, when they all could be prevented. No one takes the time to stop, listen and address bullying and make them serve some type of punishment when this occurs. Most wait until it’s too late and many are threatened, injured, or even killed in schools, on buses, or in society in general. Throughout this paper, I will explain several types of incidents that have occurred and were ignored and how they were over looked by a higher authority. I will also include some ideas on how we can take further action into preventing tragedies from occurring if possible. Schools and court systems may say that they have a no tolerance level for bullying, but if you stop and think for a second, why do our children and adults still get bullied and it is often much easier for teachers and judicial systems to look the other way than to put a stop to it before it gets out of hand. Title: Bullying Can Occur At Any Age and Is Often Ignored When we hear the word “bully” we automatically think back to when we were school age children and have either been a victim of bullying or been a bully. The truth is that at one point or another we have all witnessed or experienced some form of bullying. Whether it have been committed at school, home, or in our communities, it is by far a pleasurable experience and can make a life changing impact on our lives. Today bullying is too often portrayed...

...should be banned or restricted in public buildings. Every newspaper is filled with stories about undesirable social conditions. Examples include crime, violence, drug abuse, and environmental problems. Such social problems can be found at the local, state, national and international levels. Definition of gang bullying Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Both kids who are bullied and who bully others may have serious, lasting problems. In order to be considered bullying, the behavior must be aggressive and include an Imbalance of power. Kids who bully use their power such as physical strength, access to embarrassing information, or popularity to control or harm others. Power imbalances can change over time and in different situations, even if they involve the same people. Others than that, bullying behaviors happen more than once or have the potential to happen more than once. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose. Types of Bullying There are three types of bullying which are verbal bullying, social bullying and physical bullying. Verbal bullying is saying or writing...

...Causes and Effects of Bullying In today’s world, bullying has become a part of daily life for teenagers. It happens in every place in the world and no place is exempt, including places of worship. It really happens in church, especially within the Church of England where church remains defiant when the UK parliament passes the Sex Discrimination Act in 1975 but the decision of the church to allow woman priests is contested. As we all know, bullying most commonly occurs in high school than in elementary school. An enormous number of school cases involving bullying has increased rapidly since 2003. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the percentage of students aged 12-18 reported being bullied at school has increased by 24.5 percent since 2003 until 2007 (Hartnig). It is prominently shown that this matter has yet to be wholly concerned by the majority. We need to show everyone that bullying is not something that we can simply ignore but a major problem that needs to be overcome which results in long-term emotional damage, mental depression and even death. There are many types of bullying. One of them is cyberbullying which is the most common among teens. It is the use of the Internet and other related technologies to harm other people in a deliberate, repeated, and hostile manner. It may be the easiest form of bullying because the bullies...

...Cyberbullying is a big problem in many teens lives. Cyberbullying has many consequences such as being expelled from school. But many teens don’t pay much attention to the consequences. The U.S government wants to go through extreme measures in order to stop the bullying but that would just cause more trouble. The federal government should not prosecute those individuals in order cause to cause awareness. For example, instead of prosecuting cyber bullies they should show them what they are doing to others. Second, there is always another to way to punish people for what they did. Lastly, there is always a different side to every argument and they are good and bad things about it. First, Prosecution is not a way to show awareness is a way to scare them. Many cyberbullies are teens who don’t even know they are actually bullying others it might just be they think they are funny.

Muslims should have spoken up and should try to justify their point and tell them that they are not terrorists. Before 9/11 Muslims in America lived happily, they can go anywhere they want to, wear hijabs and etc. After 9/11 Muslims were questioned about their religion, about their race, and about their ethnicity. They were called terrorist. People didn’t like the Muslims women who wore hijabs and covered their faces.

...BULLYING Tamaine Aries Leak Devry University Bullying is described as an aggressive behavior that inflicts harm on the physical and mental well-being of a victim that causes them to have feelings of fear and intimidation. As stated in Boulton et al (1992), “Researchers commonly define peer victimization or bullying as a negative act of aggression (or oppression) that is unprovoked and discriminately intended to cause harm, while carried out repeatedly over time and involves an actual and/or perceived imbalance of power and control in which the aggressor or group of aggressors are physically or psychologically more powerful than the victim” (Boulton & Underwood, 1992; Farrington, 1993; Olweus, 1999; Rigby, 1996; Smith &Thompson, 1991). Bullying has been known to occur from the minor range from one-on-one bullying to more aggressive methods of the bully incorporating random or volunteered partakers, who may or may not willing assist the primary bully with his or her bullying assaults. Bullying from my perspective, is a serious issue that needs to be handle in high consideration due to the increase reports of homicides and suicides that are have occurred based on the devious and abusive acts of bullying. As stated by Barbara, E.F. (2012), “Bullying or bullies from other observations of society can be overlooked as, “that’s just the way people are or “there’s nothing that can be done” (Barbara, 2012). But what truly bothers me about bullying the most, is that some...
