When I reflect on my adolescent years, I remember racing home from school each day, eager to meet up with my best friend so we could just “hang out.” In a sense, not much has changed for adolescents today; they are still just as eager to socialize with their friend's. However, now they don’t meet up at each other’s houses and hang out in their neighborhood, the way my best friend and I use to. Instead, they hang out together online and their neighborhood resides in their smartphone. This is the message that is conveyed in chapter two of the book, Bullying Beyond the Schoolyard by Sameer Hinduja and Justin W. Patchin. In this chapter, the authors move away from discussing what cyberbullying entails in pursuance of looking at some of the places…
There are way to many people getting bullied every single day, and everyday after that they become a full time bully to. I honestly think that being a bully is worse because you are doing the pain to others, and thats just not very nice. Being a bully means your sinning against god, and you are practically worshipping the devil and thats never a good thing. Also your doing bad things for society, and everybody you love and you won't have as many friends if you bully people. Most of the time bullies are people that really don't have a good life or a very rich life. If your a bully you will have a less likely chance to make to collage and get a wife, and have kids. Some bullies are jealous of other people, and want to be them, but can't…
The most common tool of intimidation for bullies to use is violence through physical force. Some of the most famous dictators throughout history have used their stance as “leaders” to abuse their power by employing the forces they have under them. The forces that dictators have commanded are operated with have been struck with fear by their overpowering ruler. Violence, for instance, was used by debatably the most notorious dictator known to man; Adolf Hitler. Hitler’s regime was founded on murdering and imprisoning those who opposed him. These acts of Hitler are a prime example of the employment of violence as a tool to get…
To be an American it’s one a honor, but it means for everyone to be equal. Back then not everyone was equal. In fact the smallest thing that is different about a person could make that person get bullied. We aren’t all the same and not even identical twins are the same. They may look the same, but their voice and possible interest are different. They might hang out with different people, but that doesn’t mean we can bully them. We shouldn’t bully anyone, but it’s a big issue.…
As researchers are saying bullying in schools is becoming more common, and nothing is really being done about it. In the article Bullying In Schools author Ron Banks states some statistics, “approximately 15 percent of students are bullied regularly or are initiators of bullying”. When students are being bullied they never really tell anybody about it because they don’t want to be known as a “tattle tale”, and get bullied more. Most of bullying comes from children who are living in a home with physical punishment, so they learn to be aggressive and mean. “60 percent of those characterized as bullies in grades 6-9 had at least one criminal conviction by the age of 24.”# The main reason why kids become bullies is so they get a reaction,…
Understanding how bullying begins is only one part of the challenge. Research conducted by The American Academy for Pediatrics estimated that 200,000 high school students who are bullied bring a weapon or weapons to school, (https://www.aap.org/en-us/about-the-aap/aap-press-room/pages/Scores-of-Bullying-Victims-Bringing-Weapons-to-School-.aspx) The Secret Service and The U.S. Department of Education also conducted research on 37 incidents involving school shootings and a its link with bullying, (The Final Report and Findings of the Safe School Initiative).

A Dictator is known as being maniacal or crazy. These words describe the dictators Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin very precisely. Both men were powerful during their rule, but both also caused immense destruction to their countries. Hitler ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945. He turned Germany into an unstoppable force, but also initiated World War II. But where Stalin was a hated man, however, he changed the Soviet Union from an underdeveloped plan and was cruel even to his closest friends, and allies. He had no remorse and could not take criticism lightly, and never forgave his opponents in any way shape or form. Few dictators have demanded such terrible atrocities from their own people. When arguing who is the worse of the two, it is undeniable…

A dictator can be defined as a ruler with total power over a country, typically one who has obtained power by force. Regrettably, this form of government leaves men thirsting for power. People feed off of the attention of others, whether that be love, hate, or fear. Dictators feed off of the fear and helplessness of their people.Two examples of these dictators would be Napoleon and Fidel Castro. Napoleon, from the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell, and Fidel Castro, the former ruler of Cuba, can be compared and contrasted in terms of rise to power, composing cruel laws and policies, and doing unforgivable things.…
“Let’s begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time. Everyone in this room is in one way or another aware of that. We are in a revolutionary situation, no matter how unpopular that word has become in this country. The society in which we live is desperately menaced, not by Al Qaeda, but from within. To any citizen of this country who figures himself as responsible – and particularly those of you who deal with the minds and hearts of young people – must be prepared to ‘go for broke.’ Or to put it another way, you must understand that in the attempt to correct so many generations of bad faith and cruelty, when it is operating not only in the classroom but in society, you will meet the most fantastic, the most brutal, and the most determined resistance. There is no point in pretending that this won’t happen.”…
