2 Module 1: Understanding the Terms a) How is Harassment, Bullying, and Intimidation different from the generic term “bullying”? Although the terms Intimidation, Bullying, and Harassment all refer to different types of aggressive behavior, they are occasionally used interchangeably with the more broad term "bullying" (Winterman & Burton, 2023). Bullying is characterized as persistent hostile behavior in which the victim and the bully have uneven power relationships. Bullying can take many various forms, including verbal abuse, physical contact, exclusion from social situations, rumor-mongering, and online platforms like cyberbullying. Bullying is frequently seen in public spaces like schools, workplaces, and other locations. It entails repeatedly acting in the same manner, intentionally hurting someone, and having an imbalance of power. Unwanted behavior that upsets, threatens, or intimidates a person or group frequently and regularly is referred to as harassment. A person may experience discrimination due to who they are or the roles they perform in society. Anywhere, including the workplace, the street, and the classroom, can experience harassment. Depending on the situation, harassment may be physical, verbal, or both. Intimidation is the act of acting in a way that makes another person feel afraid, coerced, or inferior. Threats, physical touch, or other methods are used to influence or control people. In groups, on their own, and within broader social structures, people can feel intimidated. It's frequently used as a tool of mass intimidation to gain control and authority over others. Although there are some similarities among the three phrases and they all refer to harmful behaviors, each has unique qualities and situations. Although intimidation and harassment are elements of Bullying, the term "bullying" refers to a broader spectrum of aggressive actions (Winterman & Burton, 2023).
3 In conclusion, if one wants to effectively handle and avoid various forms of antagonism and abuse, it is imperative to be aware of these disparities and confront them. The confrontation approach lies in understanding the trends and causative traits that are interlinked with the abuse. .
