Article Analysis Moral Panics: Culture, Politics, and Social Construction Introduction: One might heard about threats, warnings and illegal actions that are influencing the society at their peak. No matter which culture an individual is belonged to, the thing that matters is the panic he has been influenced by, through various ways. Such panic is simply termed as moral panic and it has been the cause of cultural conflicts, social disturbances and political issues. Moral panic has been a hot topic of discussion that considered through several different perspectives; emphasizing on this aspect, various scholars and researchers have illustrated the society with the instances of social, culture and political problems and more specifically the moral panics. Cohen (1972) defined moral panic as societal threat whereas Furedi (1994) described moral panics as a threat to happiness and health.
Underreporting occurs due to individuals being dishonest regarding their behavior, therefore causing an error in the research done. A possible solution to this limitation is focusing on observed behavior, and correlating the findings with the self-reporting behavior, therefore developing a conclusion that is more in-depth. Furthermore, Article 2 emphasized that other factors can influence self-labeling as a victim in relation to work-place bullying, not just anxiety and anger. In addition, discovering a moderation effect regarding negative acts of violence and self-labeling is hard to discover due to the psychological way an individual may experience an event. Lastly, Article 3 honed on the lack of variances of deviant behavior.
Displacement of Aggression Aggression is a normal aspect of human behavior but if exhibited in excess or in an abnormal manner, it can be indication of psychological disturbance. Interestingly aggression may not always be demonstrated towards the source of frustration or insult; sometimes it can be directed at an innocent target.

The harassment must be based on sex. The conduct complained of must have had a deleterious effect on the employee’s job. Vicarious liability exists, that is, the harassment must have occurred during the scope of employment, thus making the employer liable for the sexual harassing conduct of its employees. Difference between “Hostile Work Environment” and “Quid Quo Pro” There are two sexual harassment situations which a company can be liable for vicarious liability formerly known as quid pro quo and hostile work environment. Vicarious liability is when sexual harassment instances involve supervisors and hostile work environment is when sexual harassment instances involve coworkers.
In a paper written by Elizabeth Kandel PhD. of the University of New Hampshire; she notes that the potential biological connections to the development of this type of disorder can be associated with prenatal or birth trauma as well as a genetic link for aggressive psychological disorders. Kandel’s study revealed that there was strong connection between birth complications and recitative violence; however the associations between ASP and birth complications were indeed weak at best. Kandel then concludes that the association of ASP and violent behaviors such as those of Bundy come from different etiologies. (Kandel, 1991) Antisocial Personality Disorder Ted Bundy: A Perfect Storm Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASP) is defined as “the chronic manifestation of antisocial behavior patterns in impulsive or amoral persons.” The general characteristics associated with these types of behavioral patterns include impulsiveness, inability to delay gratification,

Picture Frustration test The Rosenzweig Picture-Frustration Study (P-FS) is a semi-projective technique that has been widely used to assess patterns of aggressive responding to everyday stress. It was developed as a ‘method for exploring concepts of frustration theory and examining some dimensions of projective methodology’ (Rosenweig, 1945). Frustrations are common experiences in our lives. Frustration is defined as occurring whenever the organism encounters an obstacle or obstruction en route to the satisfaction of a need (Rosenzweig, 1944). In the general sense, it is well known that persons react to frustration with aggression.
The downside of using punishment is that it can make the punished feel coerced and sometimes trapped, and in extreme cases actually lash out against the punisher in an act of retribution. Punishment can also push people in the wrong direction. A company that chooses to implore termination threat tactics will most likely see a larger turnover rate than a company that encourages their employees by making them feel as if they
Cause-and-Effect Heather Studebaker South University Online Kleiner explores the cause and effects of procrastination in his essay, “When Manana is too soon.” I think we have done some procrastination at some point. So we can remember the cause-and-effect of procrastination. So, I thought for the writing assignment this week I would write my cause-and-effect essay on anger, the causes along with the effects of this poison.
