Milestone Two: Mapping the Issue SOC 112: Introduction to Sociology Robert Harris
Social Issue Bullying remains a significant and pressing issue in our contemporary society. It's important to recognize that bullying is not limited to children in schools; it also commonly occurs among adults in college and the workplace. The rise of cyberbullying has further exacerbated this issue, largely due to the prevalence of social media. Every month, thousands of students experience physical and psychological harm due to bullying. Bullying encompasses physical and emotional abuse and is characterized by physical, verbal, relational, and cyber elements. Physical bullying involves using physical actions to dominate, provoke, and control another person, such as pushing, kicking, slapping, or hitting. This type of bullying can have long-lasting physical and psychological effects on both children and adults. It can lead to fear for safety, difficulty focusing on work or school, emotional scars, anxiety, PTSD, lower academic achievement, and sleep disturbances. Victims of bullying often experience extreme stress and may develop antisocial behavior.

Cultural Beliefs and Biases • The beliefs I previously held included the idea that bullying isn't a serious issue and that being bullied ultimately builds resilience, as bullies mature and develop thicker skin as they grow up. However, this viewpoint has a negative impact on the social issue of bullying. It can lead to disbelief or worsening of the situation for individuals who experience bullying in adulthood, as the prevailing notion is that enduring hardship makes one stronger. • While there is truth to the idea that adversity can build strength, it's important to recognize that not everyone can simply brush off bullying. It's crucial to understand that bullying often stems from the bully's own insecurities and unfortunately affects the victims. By empathizing with both the victims and the perpetrators, I have gained a deeper understanding of this social issue. Acknowledging both perspectives allows me to empathize with everyone involved and comprehend their experiences For each example above, be sure to indicate whether the relationship between each example and the central issue is positive, negative, or strained.
