Bullying Experiment

One of the ideas that is brought up is the concept of being bullied. He says the following “ 20% of female and 18% of male high school students reported being bullied at school in the past 12 months. ( Cornell, 220) Eighteen percent of boys get bullied in school. One issue that has not been solved in schools are types of programs that are introduced to the students that will prevent bullying to happen. There’s an organization that is called UpStand which is an anti bullying program, that will come to the school and give them an whole presentation on the danger of bullying.

The concept of bullying in the school system has been linked to many homicides and

The series includes other examples of bullying. Zimmerman interviewed experts and researched many areas of bullying with plans to feature each of these in the series and to arrange a panel of experts for a public community event.

According to the article, Meet the New Sheriff by Suzanne McCabe, “One out of every five students are bullied or are bullies themselves.” This one piece of ground-breaking evidence is enough to destroy our society, and our children’s lives forever. Bullying is a highly discussed topic that American children face every day and it’s near impossible to stop. There are also topics within bullying, like how students become bullies, or how to stop bullying, also which is worse being a bystander or being a bully. And you can’t deny that bullies are almost like mad serial killers, they go around and they don’t stop even if they get into trouble. There are so many topics on bullying that you can’t even count them all. “Everyone has been bullied for

The experiment was used to make people aware of racism and how the individuals affected might have to go

Salivar Slaughter, who is a justice counselor who work with kids that need help talking out their problems. The most common question being asked and a lot of people have been wondering is “have you ever been bullied?” When I asked Mrs.Slaughter the question, she said “ I kind of have been bullied. Someone hacked into my facebook and posted some things that were bad and inappropriate.” As she described it, her sister comes into her room and told her that there were inappropriate statues being made on her facebook. It was too late to delete the status because there were people commenting on the status which lead to a fight. I also asked her “why would one individual bully another?”She told me “I think when i see they are hurt, they may hate themselves,letting the world know that “i'm tough” and also trying to find themselves.” Another person I interviewed was Mrs. Hale, a counselor at Madison High School. Mrs. Hale has been bullied in ninth grade, she was a quiet, shy girl, didn’t really like to talk much. There was a boy who decided to pick on me, he would sit next to me and ignore me during the ride to school.But it didn't last

1. The Stanford Prison Experiment was an experiment that was created to test the effect between prisoners and prison officers. The experiment took place in the basement of one of the buildings in Stanford University. The prisoners and guards in the experiment were college students. The college students were told that they would get $15 dollars a day and that the experiment would last two weeks. The guards and prisoners were decided by a flip of a coin. The experiment abruptly ended after six days because of the mental break downs and hunger strikes the inmates were having. The BoBo Doll Experiment was an experiment that studied aggression. The way that the experiment worked was that they had adults attack the BoBo doll and they made the children watch to see if they would mimic the adults actions. When presented with the BoBo doll the children acted the same way as they saw the adults act. They were able to learn the aggression and hostile language from the adults.

In the 1960’s psychologist Stanley Milgram set up what could be deemed as a controversial set of experiments. His goal was to see if he could determine how ordinary German citizens could have been a part of such atrocities committed against the Jewish people in World War II. Milgram also wondered if something like that could still take place in our modern society. The true motives of the experiment were not revealed to the participants until after the experiment was concluded (Stangor, Jhangiani, Tarry, 2014). The participants were recruited from the general-public. They were told the experiment was to determine how punishment influences learning and that they would be paid four dollars for participating in the experiment.

The wave of immigrants from all over the world were coming to the United States. They wanted freedom that they did not have from their different countries. They also moved for freedom of religion. Some countries came to the west because of years of famine. So they moved west into the new land that was used by Native Americans.

It seems like tension escalated very quickly between the children in this experiment. I am positive this exact type of experiment would never be allowed in schools today. Currently the schools are behind a zero tolerance movement for bullying. A two day experiment that practically pushes children to bully others would be a lawsuit nightmare in today’s society. I can’t imagine sending kids home at the end of the day in the middle of this experiment with them still feeling like they are less superior to their blue eyed classmates. I wouldn’t want to be the parents of the kids who most likely came home crying the 1st day after being bullied by their teacher and peers. Or the parents that came home to the worst case scenario where a child might have tried to hurt or kill themselves because of the bullying. I think the closest our school system would get to something like this today, would perhaps be showing an approved video or play to the kids with a similar but more toned down example of discrimination. All though, I do occasionally feel like our schools have become overly sensitive and politically correct in some senses, I do feel like an activity to this extent is a little

There is one death by suicide in the US every 12.3 minutes… Why? Well because of being bullied and made fun of. Not only committing suicide but also 160,000 kids around the world stay home from school because of bullying.

Most of these children and teens that stay home, think of committing suicide every day and not many people notice these types of kids and not know what to do to help.

According to Stopbullying.gov, “Most bullying takes place in school, outside on school grounds, and on the school bus.” (Facts About Bullying,2017).

When children are pushed to commit foolish activities or suicide because of bullies, one can tell there is something wrong with the way situations are being handled in our society. The documentary, Bully, presents countless examples of the effects of bullying and how poorly circumstances are managed. Through instances resulting in juvenile detention or taking one’s own life, the documentary displays various ways kids deal with torment. As we follow the lives of five different youths suffering at the hands of their peers, we see just how much these kids go through with little to no support.
