Taking A Look At Socia Social Bullying

478 Words2 Pages

“We hate some persons because we do not know them; and will not know them because we hate them.”-Charles Caleb Colton. I love this quote because it almost summarizes what I will be talking about today.We’ve always been told to love others and accept them, but if you look around, it’s obvious that humanity as a whole hasn’t listened to this piece of advice. People often judge others by what they seem like on the surface, but if you search deep down and get to know them, 99% of the time your assumption will be wrong-to some degree. I know this because I myself have, like many others, decided to “Hate” others for no other reason then “they’re annoying”- and it sure didn't pay off that much for anyone. Than after getting to know some of the people I assumed were the absolute worst, I realized there is much more than what's on the surface. But when I looked around, I realized other students didn’t come to the same conclusion- and that it could hurt the others around them.People are much deeper than they seem, and when someone judges another by how they come across on the surface, it can easily lead to social bullying and hurting others out there. …show more content…

Examples of social bullying is talking behind someone's back, spreading rumors, and gossiping about a person. Sound familiar? Most of us, although unknowingly, are social bullies- but I think we can change that. Instead of judging someone for what they come off as on the surface, try and get to know them before drawing any conclusions about

Psychologists study behaviour in terms of the attributes and processes inside each individual. They focus on the people involved in the situation rather than the situation as a whole.

    Bullying is, by far, the single most common practice of prejudice in the world, and it’s unfortunately propagated by the social construct of gender roles; a type of discrimination against sex and gender. As Jessie Klein, the author or The Bully Society, states, “In the absence of authentic self-expression and relationships, we become accustomed to the irrational foundation on which our lives are structured and accept some unacceptable ideas: that this is as good as it gets; that competition is better than cooperation; that things are more important than people; and that inequality makes more sense for a society than equality” (Klein 238). Thus, it’s the societal foundation that builds upon all prejudice and bias. Such, society is tasked with educating the masses and properly handling the various distances between groups. It’s when this relationship and checks and balances fails, does bullying grow rampant within society.
