Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Psychology - Miscellaneous, grade: 100%, , course: Policy Analysis, language: English, abstract: The paper was written as the final assignment which was to determine our adeptness at educational policies and concerned the topic of bullying. Bullying is defined by the Wis. Dept. of Public Instruction as behavior that is aggressive, not wanted, and occurring in conjunction with school age students. Bullying/harassment is caused by non-harmonious perception or realization of power. Bullying is often repetitive and may cause “serious, lasting problems” (A comprehensive approach to bullying prevention, Retrieved from: https://dpi.wi.gov/sspw/safe-schools/bullying-prevention). “These behaviors are normative occurrences in schools, they are not considered socially acceptable in the context of democratic societies” (United Nations, 1989). I posit, bullying/harassment, may occur as a result of the intent to control another person’s behavior, attitudes, beliefs, and culture in general, for the acquisition of resources and the resultant power to achieve a goal that is not entirely ethical.
