...group of friends that really support her. I was appalled at the fact that nothing was done by administration even if it was their daughters. Bullying is bullying and no student should ever have to deal with it. My cousin was lucky enough to have a mother who is very involved in her school and life and did not stop raising concern and did not let it continue. At the time, they felt moving to a new school was the only option. Now we see stories on the news where students are committing suicide or going to school with a gun because they have been bullied. The first article I read about bullying was “Bullying and Students with Disabilities” by Dr. Jonathan Young, Ari Ne’eman, and Sara Gelser. Bullying students with disabilities has always been a highly challenged topic. This article touches on the background of educating students with disabilities and how it was the...

...Families of children with disabilities have an added burden of providing protection to their children from various types of abuse or neglect. Although all children have the same risk of abuse at the early infancy ages, the risk increases for the disabled as they age. National data indicates that children labeled as disabled are two times more likely to experience abuse and neglect. Wallace and Roberson (2014) state that individuals with developmental disabilities are affected by violence differently than the general population and may experience violence levels up to five times higher than the general population. Other studies have indicated that 60% of children with developmental disabilities and impairments experience some form of abuse and neglect. Mandell et al. (2005) point out that these estimates may be grossly underestimated, as sometimes children with disabilities suffer from cognitive and/or verbal deficits, which prevent them from reporting the abuse. Sexual victimization tends to be the most prevalent form of abuse committed against the developmental disabled. Sorensen (2002) estimates anywhere from 4 times to 10 times higher because the victims may be repeatedly abused by the same abuser. One reason that the rate is only an estimate is because many of the abuses go unreported. Based on global percentages and statistics of the general population, there is an underrepresentation of sexual assault on children with developmental disabilities. In addition, Sorensen...

...There are two types of bullying; physically and emotionally. These two types of bullying are completely different but have the same effects to their victims. The jocks usually bully their victims physically. By bullying the victims physically, bullies make their targets injured.For example, by punching, slapping, strangling, drowning, etc. Jocks pick on the nerds who are physically small and / or have disability. By doing these harms to their victims, bullies think that they are strong and it will make them popular. On the other side, the victims can do nothing against them because they realize that they are smaller or because of their disability. The mean girls, on the other side, bully their victims emotionally. They don’t just go around slapping or strangling other girls. But they act mean to them, and make their victims self-esteem lower. These mean girls’ victims could be anyone, boys or girls. Even boys can’t do anything when the girls are being mean to them because sometimes they are fascinated by their beauty. Bullying can always be stopped and prevented. It is just not that easy because there are many types of bullies, some of them are heartless and unstoppable. So it is better to prevent bullying to happen to you. One way to prevent bullying to happen to you is to stay with a group of friends. Bullies normally pick on the ones who are by themselves a lot. When you are with your friends, there is a smaller chance that bullies will pick on you because you have friends...

...There are multiple theories as to what it is and how it works. Allen, Edwards & McCullough tackled the difficult question of how the law of kamma works using promising psychological research on how the human brain works. The article also looks into the concept of transmigration in connection with karma. Through separating those two concepts, the researchers make karma more appealing to non-believers. The theory that the law of karma is just a way of blaming the victim tends to be very appealing to non-believers in the Buddhist way because of their need to believe in a “just universe.” (Allen, Edwards & McCullough, 2) Burley agrees, arguing that the problem is that blaming the victim makes the world an unjust place. He goes a step further to claim that the concept of karma itself is a “medieval” or “pre-modern” idea (Burley, 150). Yet a large portion of the world, many religions and laypeople, believe in the law of kamma. This makes the idea that karma is a medieval concept a weak...

...serious problem in the United States. It is not only the employees who are victims of sexual harassment who suffer devastating emotional blows for a long time. There are different types of sexual harassment and different causes. Each state has different protections against sexual harassment. For example, Alabama allows an employee to sue an employer for sexual harassment. In comparison, Vermont law requires every employer to adopt a policy against sexual harassment. Other states do not have specific laws that prohibit or punish cases of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment can be verbal (like making rude comments about someone), but it not necessarily have to be spoken. Stalkers may use technological gadgets to sexually arras someone , like a smart phone and social network. Sometimes sexual harassment can become...

...Every year, thousands of Americans come under attack because of their race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, religion, or a disability. These attacks can range from name-calling, offensive jokes, and social exclusion to life-threatening acts of violence. When these attacks cross the line into criminal activity, they are considered to be hate crimes. Hate crimes can take many forms; A black teenager is beaten up by white teenagers while walking through a suburb. Swastikas are painted on a synagogue. A gay man is killed and another is injured when they are attacked by a group of men outside a gay bar. A transgender male or female. A bomb threat is called in to a local Islamic center, and racial epithets are shouted at children wearing traditional Arab clothing. Not only do hate crimes affect individual victims, but can also harm every other member of the group that individual represents, creating a sense of fear, vulnerability, insecurity, distrust, and outrage. They can also launch cycles of retaliation and counter-retaliation among groups. Almost two-thirds of reported attacks are committed by individuals under the age of 24. Although people of all racial and ethnic groups commit hate crimes, young white males commit majority of them. Most victims of violent hate crimes are also young: more than half of the victims of reported hate violence are age 24 or under, and nearly a third are under 18. African Americans, Jews, Arab Americans and Muslims, new immigrants...

...child’s body or mental (Children Welfare Information Gateway 2007). In 2005, among 3.6 million investigations by Child Protective Services agencies in the U.S, an estimated 899,000 children (24.97%) were confirmed to be victims of child abuse (Children’s Bureau 2005). In generally, there are 4 typical kinds of child abuse: neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse and emotional maltreatment. Child neglect is situation that child’s primary needs were lacked from adults, especially parents or caregivers of the child. Physical child abuse is an adult’s action which causes visible or potential harmfulness to the child. Sexual abuse in children is any sexual activity from adult within a child. Emotional maltreatment is known as a behavior of children abuse that affects to psychology life or social skills of a child (Jaffe-Gill et al 2007). We can classify the reasons of child abuse into 3 different ways: parental causes, ecological causes and child problems (Childline Gauteng 2006). Besides, child abuse also has strongly influenced to all sides of the child’s life, such as: physical effects, behavior effects and emotional effects (Jaffe-Gill et al 2007). This essay will discuss the causes and negative effects of child abuse as well as provide suggestions to assist the victims. It is completely surprising to know that one of the causes is due to the child’s parents. Actually, either the child’s father or mother falls into an addicted situation such drugs or alcohols, these children will...

...Social Inequalities To understand what this paper is pertaining one must first understand what a hate crime is. What is a hate crime? Congress has defined a hate crime as a "criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual orientation." (Federal Bureau of Investigation) On October 22, 2009 Congress passed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act and on the 28th President Obama signed it into law. It added to the 1969 United States federal hate-crime law to include crimes motivated by a victim’s actual or perceived gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. To create a profile of someone who may commit a hate crime we have to look at the psychology of the offender. Knowing what motivated the crime is the first step in preventing future hate crimes and helps in teaching ways to prevent them from happening. Hate crime offenders usually have adolescent issues. No one theory explains all evil behavior; numerous variables, including social, psychological, biological, and genetic factors, are involved in a dynamic interplay that results in evil behavior. (psychiatryonline) A link between at risk teens and their lack of the fulfillment of basic needs being meet has been linked by Young-Bruehl’s psychoanalytical approach. A typical youth who feels rejected and isolated from family and friends will use hatred to cover for their...
