THE BULLY, THE BULLIED, AND THE BYSTANDER

Barbara Coloroso’s “The Bully, the Bullied, and the Bystander” revolves around her view of bullying as a drama. In said drama, each character usurps the given role and adopts behavioral changes while adapting to the ensuing performance. Coloroso centers her writing at possible ways of rewriting the lines given to each character to break the recurring violence. In her views, bullying entails different forms of imposing terror, intimidation, and torment while ensuring that others avoid the bullied person (Coloroso, 2010, p.102). Therefore, Coloroso (2010) believes that because children can learn how to intimidate (p.67), said behavior is ...

According to Ramsbotham, Woodhouse, and Mial there are four methods that can be used in the prevention of terrorism. These are prevention, persuasion, denial, and coordination. Prevention involves eliminating and reducing issues that lead to terrorism such as global inequalities, poverty, and lack of equal opportunity. Secondly, persuasion involves reducing the motivation towards terrorism and recruitment. Encouraging terrorists to take up other methods to deal with issues that they may have can achieve this objective. Third is denial, which involves denying individuals engaging in terrorism access to finances, weapons and other factors that encourage terrorism. This also takes into ...

The Japanese attack on the Pearl Harbor took place in December 1941; this is after a long period of clouds of war gathering over the pacific part of the world.

The September 11, 2001 (9/11) terrorist attack in the United States of America has brought this common and urgent query if the country is safe to all the citizens who live in for a better living. Asking this question is wrong; America is still a safe place to everyone. It is safer since the government has a massive increased in homeland security and the expenditures are high. The best and correct query is that, if the expenditures in the security have its worth. Howard Kunreuther, analyst, raised the central question after the 9/11 terrorist attack that how much do the government is ...

Psychology

The Riverman gives a detailed description of the amount of psychological work that went into the apprehension of a man responsible for a series of serial murders. This man came to be dubbed as the green river killer. The Riverman gives a vivid description of Robert Keppel’s twenty-year pursuit and ultimate apprehension of this criminal. This particular killer was suspected of at least forty-nine homicides and to call him a public nuisance would be perhaps the biggest understatement of the years. Clever and cunning was this killer that law enforcement authorities found it increasingly harder, near impossible, to bring him to justice and ...

Introduction

Rape is an act of violence against the will of the victim. It is defined as “forcing the victim to submit to genital, anal and/or oral sexual acts (SECASA, 2012).” The attacker uses physical force, intimidation and threats to control the situation.

This chapter is about offenders who attack and torture the youngest members of our population - the children. “Pedophilia (from the Greek word for child lover) is the clinical term for the most commonly used terms child molestation and child sexual abuse” (Bartol, C. R., &Bartol, A. M, 2011, p.378). There are a number of statistics that talk in percentage about child molesters, but also a lot of victims are not known because children rarely talk about their molesters. Usually, they reveal that they were sexually abused when they grow up. Child molestation can originate from a member of the family (most ...

The chapter focuses on psychopathy appraisal and how the attribute has evolved over time. This is basically explained in terms of conduct features and character traits. The author cites the aforementioned as among the features which were used by practitioners in the diagnosis of mental disorders. The use of character alone is however faulted by the fact that there are certain behavioral patterns such as malicious and callous conducts which are habitually displayed in a manner that is not irresponsible.
The author further gives an example of the consequences of marginalization of personality features associated with psychopathy. To this, ...

The chapter tries to explain the challenges faced by juvenile offenders and the difficulties involved in trying to address the issue. The main focus of the chapter is to show that juvenile offences are attributable to mental ill health. As such offenders should not be committed to juvenile systems rather proper ways to address the mental disorders should be explored.
The chapter is also alert on the tribulations associated in the ascertaining of the mental disorder and the subsequent challenge due to the lack of conclusive evidence on what really ails juvenile offenders. Conversely, there is no single ...

According to him, the intension of most of the overthrows are not what the government tells the public, both the American citizens ...

Space, Place, and Violence is a book that takes a controversial topic and puts it into geographical perspective. James A. Tyner puts the idea that violence can be part of the society in which an individual life.

Like a large number of people I thought that serial killers were just Ramon people who lose their minds and start committing violent acts of random murder.

The book tells the story of the investigations that led to the capture of the serial killer that came to be known more famously as the green river killer.in order for Keppel to fully understand the things that motivate serial killers ...

Long Response

While sexuality remains a talking point in the modern society, many people are still being discriminated based on their sexual identities. It is essential to note that several people have become victims of racial discrimination as well as heterosexism in the modern society. While many people have fought to change the perception of the offenders, the battle against lesbianism is still alive in the society as many individuals do not consider it a cultural norm. Culturally acceptable codes of behavior have dictated that a particular behavior has to be observed by the members of the society to help nurture ...

Abstract

Conflict is an inherent part of human beings’ everyday lives, and it is something that can be minimized, but never completely avoided. Some people are so concerned about conflict avoidance that they are unable to stand up for themselves under important circumstances; being too passive can be just as destructive as being too aggressive (Suter et al., 2009; Knapp, 2014). Deborah Smith Pegues writes a text that is targeted at the Christian individual, and outlines how the individual can participate in positive conflict in their lives (Pegues, 2009). Although no one wants conflict in their lives, sometimes it is ...

Many have rated the book Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness In The West (1985) as an artwork in American literature and even as Cormac McCarthy continues to publish books it has remained to be his masterpiece.

Introduction

In the book, “The Behavior of Law” Donald Black tries to explain how the conduct of law is a social phenomenon. Black describes a general, quantitative and predictive theory that describes the various conditions within which law is applied or can be applied. Black argues that since law is a social phenomenon, it does not take into account the human nature concept. As such, law can be explained without incorporating a person’s motivations or any other psychological motivations. This means that the theory does not take into account the rationality of human beings and also the goals and ...

Introduction

Elaine Kamarck seeks to explain the bureaucratic approaches in keeping with the information age economy. This argument, although it seems illogical, stems from the assertions that have risen from political leaders that suggest that the government in modern days has shifted from being the necessary solution to becoming a problem. Such statements will not be taken lightly by citizens who look up to the government to provide solutions to the many problems they face. One man who is against such an opinion is Kamarck. Largely, Kamarck supports the endeavors that the government takes in order to make the citizens feel ...

The moral choices during war begin at the first choice of deciding whether to go into war. In this regard, war has different outcomes, which include victory or loss.

Greater deals of the choices that face an individual during war depict their leadership skills and the choices they would make as leaders. Going to war shows courage and bravery as well as a belief in a purpose while the opposite ...

Introduction

In the history of genocide crimes, the question of responsibility always crops up. International organizations of justice have always argued that responsibility for genocide and war crimes is a collective and individual responsibility. Everyone is responsible in their own right but also it is the duty of the society as a whole to work against forces that would otherwise promote occurrence of war atrocities. This paper is a comparative piece drawing evidences and incidents between the works of Slavenka Drakulic in the book “They Would Never Hurt A Fly: War Criminals on Trial in the Hague” and Heda Margolius Kovaly works in ...

Richards' examination of this mob action goes into detail regarding the mobs that participated in these acts, how their leadership was ...

The book is an exhaustive illustration of the above thesis subject since it exploits Khan’s military skills. The text equally elucidates the lustrous western perception of the Mongolis as savages because they brought civilization to its knees. The Mongals dealt ruthlessly with the ruling classes whilst they were overly friendly and liberal with the common masses that comprised of the peasants, tradesmen and extra. They levied little taxes to them; they treated with much tolerance and accommodation of divergent aspects of the locals’ culture and religion. Khan is also showcased as a ruthless barbaric blood thirsty individual that leads a ...

Dower’s assertion was calculative and well informed.

The scholar explores various situations with the intention of explaining motivate behind the decisions and practices assumed by each side.

Jeffrey Reiman published his book, The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison: Ideology, Class and Criminal Justice, in 2003. Jeffrey Reiman has written this book as if it is a text book for students studying Criminology, citing numerous sources and taking a teaching approach. From the very first chapter, it becomes obvious that Reiman has written this book to educate. It seems as though Reiman gained a deeper insight into the American culture, at the roots, and this prompted him to share the information with the public. In the first chapter of the book, Reiman emphasizes on four complex issues; ...

War is almost as old as human history itself. Even the earliest writings in literature center on conflict: in The Epic of Gilgamesh, the central character goes to the supernatural realm to bring back the secret to eternal life, to bring his friend, who had died in war, back from the grave. The major literary works of ancient Greece either focus on wars between members of two different cultures, as with the Trojan War, or in smaller, more regional conflicts between clans or larger groups: one of the pink elephants in the room for Creon, the regent of Thebes ...

For my first reading journal, I chose to discuss the first four chapters in Michael Kimmel’s “Guyland: The Perilous World Where Boys Become Men”
In the first two chapters, “Guyland” is introduced as “the stage of a young man’s life between adolescence and adulthood.” (pg. 4) Kimmel then begins to set the tone: members of Guyland are essentially man children who didn’t receive enough guidance in their lives, and they now exist in a limbo-like state of life, where hook-ups and bouncing from job to job are common, and socialization between men involves frat parties, excessive ...

The Cuban government gives her a stipend, Internet access, a home, food, and gas (Wood)
The Assata autobiography captures intriguing themes, but the theme that vividly occurs from the beginning ...

1. How did the Cold War emerge after W.W.II? How did the U.S.S.R. and the U.S. view actions such as the Berlin Blockade and a policy stance such as the Truman Doctrine differently?
First off, after WW2, the U.S emerged as the sole superpower, mostly because of its nuclear bomb capacity. In addition, the Soviet Union had millions of citizens and was in no position to engage in any new militaristic operations. At that time, the US and the Soviet Union were uneasy allies, because of their mutual fear of the Nazi influence. Their partnership was “born of a ...

Sociology

Book Review
Critical thinking is crucial for navigating through the numerous arguments people come across in daily life- in the form of advertisements, political speeches and even college level debates. Capaldi and Smit provide an essential handbook for readers to identify arguments, analyze them, present cases, attack arguments, defend cases and undertake cause-and effect reasoning.
The very foundation of modern discourse rests on identifying arguments. It is necessary that people identify the premises and conclusions of arguments through their context, instead of grammatical location in sentences. The authors highlight the concept of interlocking arguments, where a conclusion acts as ...

Book review on: Band of Brothers By: Stephen E. Ambrose

The book “Band of Brothers” is written by Stephen Ambrose and was first published in 1992 under his authorization. The book can be partially relied as a true story although most of its part comes from a true life experience as illustrated by the author of this magnificent book. In addition to this, the book solely concentrates its themes around the company and the effects the world war had to the performance of this company. I am going to take note on every important detail about this book and review it to deepest end and draw the meaning and intention ...

Rudolf Hoess, who should not be confused with Rudolf Hess, Hitler’s Deputy Fuehrer who flew to England in 1941, was a career S.S. officer whose memoirs are one of the most important primary sources about the Holocaust. No other camp commander produced an autobiography or wrote so extensively about his career, and none occupied a more important position in the machinery of extermination. Hoess introduced Zyklon-B (Cyclone-B) gas to Auschwitz in 1941, mainly because he thought it would be the most efficient method of mass killing, and his camp became the largest ‘customer’ for this cyanide gas, which had ...

It is important to comprehend the reason why Hiroshima was a likely target. According to Hersey (107), “the ruined city had flourished and had been an inviting target mainly because it had been one of the most important military- command and communications centres in Japan, and would have become the Imperial headquarters had the islands been invaded and Tokyo been captured.” In other words, how had the dropping of the bomb changed the lives of the survivors? Was the decision by the United States government to hit Hiroshima with the atomic bomb necessary? Should the Japanese have been forewarned about ...

Globalization and its Discontents is a pleasurable and thought- inciting book. It’s written by one of the most renowned Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz in 2002. It is perhaps the utmost decipherable, lucid, and delicate attack against globalization during the past couple of years. Though the author struggles, in a slightly rigid style with some shadows of pride, against his ideology of deceitful free-market mindsets, his style is unpretentious and reachable to a widespread audience. However, this is also illusive to some extend. ‘Although the writer stresses on time and again that he is not directing an attack against market principles ...

Introduction

The book Blink by Malcolm Gladwell is about how we think without thinking. This can be further explained by illustrating that the choices made instantly in the blink of an eye without actually thinking why they are made. The world around us requires that decisions should be footnoted. This means that if we say how we feel about something we must be ready to elaborate about why we feel a certain way. Blink discloses that a quality of good decision maker is not who can spend time providing deliberate answers or process the information effectively but the one who has perfected ...
