Essay about verbal bullying and Psychological bullying

Bullying is an abusive way to show one person’s power over another person. “For instance, although we may agree that bullying is oppressive behavior – and not to be tolerated – to one person some observed behavior may seem downright oppressive; to another the same behavior may seem merited or justified, and not bullying at all” (Rigby, 21). This review of literature will concentrate why people bully others. Bullying is a common situation that Australian schools and other schools around the world challenge (McGrath). Research on bullying is important to understand the reasons for bullying, when the consequences to victims are considered. A general consequence to bullying is creating an unsafe environment for victims and bystanders. However most bullying happens in school with younger peers amongst their age group which creates more consequences. “Bullying has only been acknowledged for fewer than two decades as a serious problem that results in negative mental health and learning out comes for students and the development of a negative school culture” (McGrath). Physical and verbal bullying has been well studied to discover why people bully other people. On the other hand there are other more than just physical and verbal harassment; some of the other forms of bullying can be “based on racism, disabilities, homophobia and gender” (McGrath). Also, in our technologically evolving society, cyber bullying has become a problem, if not a greater problem than just physical and verbal bullying (Kowalski).

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
