America's Anti-Bullying Policy

After analyzing documents regarding bullying and laws: there are defined state and nation laws which vary for different countries but based on their regional behavior they have structured, but as you told both the employee and employer are not much concerned regarding this unless and until they experience such problem. I personally feel creating awareness among all the cadre of workers would reduce the bullying percentage.

More than obesity and health care is wrong with America. Not only does the health care system warp people's mind, but it creates an issue with the way children are taught and how they learn. A large stance has already changed many people’s lives—bullying. Children bully for many reasons including sexual orientation, weight, religious/philosophical beliefs, and some reasons unknown to all. Children bullied for their weight often times feel insecure and worthless about their bodies—scaring them in the process of always wanting to be in the same physical state and leading more obese children to lead obese adult lives.

Through the Durkheim’s and Weber’s ideals, one can figure out why this social movement is important, and bullying is not needed in our society. Using functionalism, one could deduce that bullying is necessary to keep society in equilibrium. However, that is probably not the case. The victim of bullying is not socially integrated into one group (or integrated into a group of victims). Being bullied can be due to social and economic differences, which is against the idea of organic solidarity, as this means that people are accepted due to their differences. This act is not “socially or biologically”

The reason I believe this is because of not only the laws we have in place to ensure the safety of children but the laws we have in place to ensure they finish there education. I always seem to hear from the older generation how our kids are the future of our country. That they are the ones who will shape what happens in this world.

As a young man growing up, I have had my share of hardships and difficulties with bullies and being bullied. My personal experiences of bulling started early in middle school and continued throughout junior high and high school. Given a small frame and statue, classmates would often create pranks targeting me. The pranks didn’t the start out as f bulling; name calling started early on my school career. Names such as four eyes, studderbox, nerd, mute, Steve Urkel, were just some of the many names I endured while in school. Entering high school as a freshmen was one of the most enjoyable and traumatic times as a young man. Going into high school with a new attitude, I thought the bulling was over.

It is important to define the term bullying accurately because that term alone can be adversarial. With that being said it can mean intimidation, aggression, hostile behaviors, and pestering the weak. Bullying takes place in schools, work, and in your own home. It can pretty much happen anywhere. Bullying in my terms is anything that can make a person feel weak minded, and has to submit.

In schools, there are a lot of kids who are bullied for several reasons. Some are bullied for how they dress, others because they don’t have friends, and some just because it helps make the bully feel better about themselves. Social class has a lot to do with bullying, whether you are rich or poor.

After all it will be the employers who eventually lose out if a complaint is made to an employment tribunal. Not only may they have to pay legal costs and compensation, but their reputation could be ruined and may also have the problem of potential loss of staff.

Bullying is becoming more and more prevalent in today’s society. It is most commonly thought to be found in schools or online, but it is becoming increasing popular in the workplace.

Bullying has been escalating to a certain degree that it has affected as many as 160,000 students that reported staying home from school every day, because they were afraid of being bullied (www.stompoutbullying.org). Bullying does not only stops one from wanting to go to school, it also makes one feel anxious, insecure, and unhappy at school, isolated and at times severely depressed (Young, Shin Kim, and Leventhal). Schools must have better resources available to students; this includes the victim and the bully. The victim should have both better counseling and stricter laws to protect them.
