He qualifies this act as “insensitive and unwise” because although the ones who displayed the flags are satisfied with what they did, many others will be offended (66). I totally agree with him on this because conflicts such as this one happen frequently among students and there are many people that get hurt or offended by what others call their freedom of speech. Next, Bok argues that “to disapprove of a particular form of communication, however, is not enough to justify prohibiting it”(66). This is a valid argument since no one has the right to prohibit something because they
On the other hand, some parents and administration members feel opposed to this style of dancing because it advocates sexual actions and crude behavior. They feel that the children in that age group are too young to endeavor in these actions because they do not have the discipline and self-control to differentiate dancing and other things, such as sex. The main point though is that the adults that are opposed to this style of dancing simply do not want these children experiencing such actions. Although this may be true, the media does not help their case. Most
One of the things that have been in focus is the violent computer games. People have very different opinions, but gradually it is also more a cover to hide the problem about not knowing what drives these young people. It is easier to find something we can give the blame on. There are so many things that make these events so infinitely difficult to prevent. But in the U.S.A they do a great effort.
TeensHealth online magazine says, “Like anyone who's being bullied, people who are sexually bullied or harassed can feel a great deal of emotional stress if the situation continues without relief” (“Sexual…Bullying” 1). These comments can come in many forms, such as inappropriate jokes, word manipulation, threats, and name-calling (“Types…Harassment”). Studies were done to test the frequency of everyday sexual comments experienced by college students. These studies concluded more women were impacted by sexual comments than men, but both had an emotional reaction (Swim et al.). Society is so used to these offensive comments that most people do not think of sexual harassment when they hear one, or when one rolls off their tongue.
Even though there are designated places now on campus to smoke it really defeats the purpose because people don’t abide by the specific rules that should be followed so that everyone can be satisfied in some way. People throw cigarette butts on the ground instead of in the trash to try and keep out campus looking clean. Certain people might think otherwise because having a smoke-free campus would jeopardize some people’s health. Smoking can be addictive but can help people in some positive ways for that moment. The designated smoke areas sounded like a good idea at first so that smokers would have specific places to smoke under certain rules.
Things are not always what they seem” we have all heard it, some may have experienced it. In “Please Stop Laughing at Me” the tables do turn and for Jodee Blanco things are not what they seem. It is just a shame it took a grammar school reunion to see it. “Jodee, even though you never graduated with us, we’ve never forgotten you and we wanted to tell you we’re sorry for how we treated you”(page255) reading this I thought; of course you are sorry, she’s successful and that is a slap in the face to a bully. But then “We never hated you, we just didn’t understand you.
Under this situation, the hard working did not earn any appraise for him, instead of reward, the unexpected discontinue made him feel not being fully respect. Therefore, he felt “lose face” and being distrust. However, on the other side, Charles Tang perceived different message through the lack of communication. In Charles mind, Yong Li, as a talent manager, disobeyed the corporate norms and culture. In reality, stereotypes are sufficiently subjective that emotions can negatively distort the meaning of an opponent’s actions, thereby gradually generating perceptions of conflicts (Sandra, 2009).
Another weakness is the consequences, in some situations when consequences are too severe that many think it is better to break a rule than allow awful thing to happen. The theory is too rigid, sometimes the consequences can change the rightness or a wrongness of an action, but in this theory the person is judged on the action which can be unfair. It’s inflexible as you should be able to break a rule if the individual’s circumstances warrant it. There is no consideration to human emotion, there are situation where individuals break rules because of emotions, for example if a person is scared they may lie to protect themselves which in Kant’s eyes this would be morally wrong. The theory is a priori, some claim we out our duty a priori but it is also argued we need to refer to experience to work out what is right.
Although many people do not think hazing as bullying, hazing actually qualifies as bullying due to the same powering dynamics and intimidation tactics that are used by individuals of a group (Hazing Definition). Hazing is performed to a person or group of individuals that are looking to be accepted or allowed into a club, organization or sports team (Hazing Definition). However, one might overlook the hazing among male athletes hidden behind the walls of high school locker rooms. Members of the NCAA conducted a survey that argues that more than, “79% of athletes reported being hazed in high school” (Lipkins). Hazing among students-athletes can range from competition for the same positions, upper class students teasing freshman, and mostly commonly, playing pranks to fit in.
Some of them are encouraged by friends and ridiculously thinking they won’t get caught. Such misunderstandings are acting as a catalyst of cyberbullying and even worsen it. As for criticism, people always criticize others, motivated by self- centering and unpleasantly pressed destructive emotions. People have an overly high sense of self protecting and seek for conformity. Nowadays, people mainly uphold negative thinking and seldom appreciate others.
