3. Argument
I have chosen this topic because I consider each
one of us have equal rights and so , we have to
respect another person , even if they look
different or think in a different way as us.
Nowadays,people have forgotten they should
take care of others and care about other’s lives
because if we help others, we will have an
easier life and maybe make some new friends.
I believe it is important not to discriminate
others, but love and support them
whenever possible.
4. Precis
The topic is about Bullying in British schools.
Its main part are :Introduction,two chapters
regarding a definition of racism and the history
of it.In the next chapter,we will see how some
people can be bad even they have no reasons
and why this disease it is so spread in the
world.
In the next chapter, I will present “What is
bully ? “and “Forms of agressions in
schools”.We will find out why some kids are
iresponsable and bully others and also that
there are three forms of agressions in schools:
verbal and physical aggression.
5. Introduction
Bullying is the use of force, threat, or
coercion to abuse, intimidate, or
aggressively impose domination over
others. The behavior is often repeated and
habitual. One essential prerequisite is the
perception, by the bully or by others, of an
imbalance of social or physical power.
Behaviors used to assert such domination
can include verbal harassment or threat,
physical assault or coercion, and such acts
may be directed repeatedly towards
particular targets. Justifications and
rationalizations for such behavior
sometimes include differences of class,
race, religion, gender, sexuality,
appearance, behavior, strength, size or
6. ability. If bullying is done by a group, it is
called mobbing. "Targets" of bullying are
also sometimes referred to as "victims" of
bullying.
Bullying can be defined in many different
ways. The UK currently has no legal
definition of bullying, while some U.S.
states have laws against it. Bullying consists
of four basic types of abuse – emotional
(sometimes called relational), verbal,
physical, and cyber. It typically involves
subtle methods of coercion such as
intimidation.
7. 1.About racism
1.1 What is racism ?
Racism is the convinction that the
members of one race are superior to the
members of other races.Racism is generally
defined as actions, practices or beliefs, or
social or political systems that are based in
views that see the human species to be
divided into races with shared traits,
abilities, or qualities, such as personality,
intellect, morality, or other cultural
behavioral characteristics, and especially
the belief that races can be ranked as
inherently superior or inferior to others, or
that members of different races should be
treated differently.
8. The exact definition of racism is
controversial both because there is little
scholarly agreement about the meaning of
the concept "race", and because there is
also little agreement about what does and
does not constitute discrimination.
1.2 The history of racism
Racism began years ago, when African
Americans were discriminated by
Whites.Nowadays, there is still several of us
who discriminate people because of the
colour of their skin or their background.
Racism is the belief that a particular race is
superior or inferior to another, that a
9. person’s social and moral traits are
predetermined by his or her inborn
biological characteristics. Racial separatism
is the belief, most of the time based on
racism, that different races should remain
segregated and apart from one another.
Racism has existed throughout human
history. It may be defined as the hatred of
one person by another or the belief that
another person is less than human because
of skin color, language, customs, place of
birth or any factor that supposedly reveals
the basic nature of that person. It has
influenced wars, slavery, the formation of
nations, and legal codes.
10. During the past 500-1000 years, racism on
the part of Western powers toward nonWesterners has had a far more significant
impact on history than any other form of
racism (such as racism among Western
groups or among Easterners, such as Asians,
Africans, and others). The most notorious
example of racism by the West has been
slavery, particularly the enslavement of
Africans in the New World (slavery itself
dates back thousands of years). This
enslavement was accomplished because of
the racist belief that Black Africans were
less fully human than white Europeans and
their descendants.
11. This belief was not "automatic": that is,
Africans were not originally considered
inferior. When Portuguese sailors first
explored Africa in the 15th and 16th
centuries, they came upon empires and
cities as advanced as their own, and they
considered Africans to be serious rivals.
Over time, though, as African civilizations
failed to match the technological advances
of Europe, and the major European powers
began to plunder the continent and forcibly
remove its inhabitants to work as slave
laborers in new colonies across the Atlantic,
Africans came to be seen as a deficient
"species," as "savages." To an important
12. extent, this view was necessary to justify
the slave trade at a time when Western
culture had begun to promote individual
rights and human equality. The willingness
of some Africans to sell other Africans to
European slave traders also led to claims of
savagery, based on the false belief that the
"dark people" were all kinsmen, all part of
one society - as opposed to many different,
sometimes warring nations.
One important feature of racism, especially
toward Blacks and immigrant groups, is
clear in attitudes regarding slaves and
slavery. Jews are usually seen by antiSemites as subhuman but also superhuman:
devilishly cunning, skilled, and powerful.
13. Blacks and others are seen by racists as
merely subhuman, more like beasts than
men. If the focus of anti-Semitism is evil,
the focus of racism is inferiority -- directed
toward those who have sometimes been
considered to lack even the ability to be evil
(though in the 20th century, especially,
victims of racism are often considered
morally degraded).
In the second half of the 19th century,
Darwinism, the decline of Christian belief,
and growing immigration were all perceived
by many white Westerners as a threat to
their cultural control. European and, to a
lesser degree, American scientists and
philosophers devised a false racial "science"
14. to "prove" the supremacy of non-Jewish
whites. While the Nazi annihilation of Jews
discredited most of these supposedly
scientific efforts to elevate one race over
another, small numbers of scientists and
social scientists have continued throughout
the 20th century to argue the inborn
shortcomings of certain races, especially
Blacks. At the same time, some public
figures in the American Black community
have championed the supremacy of their
own race and the inferiority of whites using nearly the identical language of white
racists.
All of these arguments are based on a false
understanding of race; in fact,
contemporary scientists are not agreed on
15. whether race is a valid way to classify
people. What may seem to be significant
"racial" differences to some people - skin
color, hair, facial shape - are not of much
scientific significance.
2.Bullying in schools
2.1 Point of view
Kids bully for many reasons.Some bully
because they feel insecure.Picking on
someone who seems emotionally or
physically weaker provides a feeling of
being more important, popular,or in
control.In other cases,kids bully because
they simply don’t know that it’s
unacceptable to pick on kids who are
different because of the size,looks , race or
religion.These kids are likely to need help
16. learning to manage anger and hurt,
frustration, or other strong emotions.Some
kids who bully at schools are copying
behavior that they see at home.Kids who
are exposed to aggressive and unkind
interactions in the family often learn to
treat others the same way.
2.2 Why are people racist ?
Racism comes from ignorance and fear
brought on by stereotypes.All people are
created equal. On the inside, people of
different races are all the same. A person's
skin color has nothing to do with what kind
of person he or she will become or what
choices he or she will make. Racism has
existed for hundreds of years and will exist
17. for hundreds more. You don't need to be a
part of it.
3.The effects of bullying
3.1 What is bully ?
Bullying can be defined in many different
ways. The UK currently has no legal
definition of bullying, while some U.S.
states have laws against it. Bullying consists
of four basic types of abuse – emotional
(sometimes called relational), verbal,
physical, and cyber. It typically involves
subtle methods of coercion such as
intimidation.
18. Bullying ranges from simple one-on-one
bullying to more complex bullying in which
the bully may have one or more
"lieutenants" who may seem to be willing
to assist the primary bully in his or her
bullying activities. Bullying in school and the
workplace is also referred to as peer abuse.
A bullying culture can develop in any
context in which human beings interact
with each other. This includes school,
family, the workplace, home, and
neighborhoods. In a 2012 study of male
adolescent football players, "the strongest
predictor was the perception of whether
the most influential male in a player's life
would approve of the bullying behavior.
19. 3.2 Forms of aggression in schools
There are two important forms of
aggression : physical and verbal aggression.
Physical Bullying
There is evidence of increasing use of
physical bullying behaviour by girls.
Physical bullying includes hitting, punching,
kicking, biting, pinching, choking, slapping,
scratching, poking and also includes
destruction of property.
20. Verbal Bullying
Sticks and stones may break your bones but
words are ghosts that haunt you.
Verbal bullying is the most common form of
bullying behaviour. It includes: name
calling, insults, teasing, mimicking,
aggressive use of language, making fun of
people, whispering and derogatory
remarks.
Bullying is about the abuse of power.
Children who bully abuse their power to
hurt others, deliberately and repeatedly.
They are often hot-tempered, inflexible,
overly confident, and don’t like to follow
rules. Often they lack empathy and many
21. also like inflicting pain on others. They often
seek out to dominate and control others.
They perceive hostile intent where there
isn’t one. Overreact aggressively to
ambiguous situations, and hold beliefs that
support violence.
In the preschool years, bullies often use
direct verbal bullying and physical power to
control material objects or territory. They
may not have the skills necessary to interact
in socially appropriate ways.
In the elementary school years, bullies are
more inclined to use threats and physical
force. It is also combined with direct verbal
bullying, to make victims do things that they
do not want to do. During this time period,
22. some children may begin to use indirect
bullying to exclude peers from their social
circle and activities.
In the middle and high school years, bullies
rely on direct verbal bullying such as namecalling and making threatening remarks.
Quite often this includes physical bullying
such as pushing and hitting. Both boys and
girls engage in physical bullying. But unlike
boys, girls are more likely to participate in
indirect, relational bullying, that often
includes rumor-spreading and social
exclusion. Use of the Internet or cell phones
to send these hurtful messages takes a lead
role. Boys during this time tend to rely on
bullying to enhance their physical
23. dominance, girls tend to use it to enhance
their social status.
Children also bully in groups. Children may
join in because they look up to the bully and
want to impress him or her. Often though it
is because they are afraid and do not want
to be attacked themselves.
In conclusion,if we are students in schools
or if we have experienced bullying, we
need to know that there are different ways
to solve this major problem that can have
negative effects on our behavior.One of
them is to tell your parents or to talk to a
psychiatric.
