Milestone Two: Mapping the Issue SOC 112: Introduction to Sociology Kevin Dehn
Social Issue According to the National Center Against Bullying, the term bullying is defined as: “an ongoing and deliberate misuse of power in relationships through repeated verbal, physical and/or social behavior that intends to cause physical, social and/or psychological harm. It can involve an individual or a group misusing their power, or perceived power, over one or more persons who feel unable to stop it from happening.” 2
Cultural Beliefs and Biases Institutional bias – includes such things as rules, procedures, practices, etc. An example of institutional bias between genders would be that boys who play football are praised by the pep band, cheerleaders, etc., while girl's sports go highly unnoticed. At the cultural level, there are ideas of what beauty, purity, normalcy, true, right vs. wrong ways of doing things. If a child doesn't “fit” into the right category, it leaves a child open for bullying. 3

Social Roles Parent – a parent sets the example for their children to either be the bully or to be timid enough to not stand up to a bully. It is every parent's responsibility to teach their children that bullying is not okay and that if their child is bullied, they need to tell an adult immediately. Victim – Victims of bullying are usually the sensitive type who are seen by bullies as “weak.” Victims can develop serious mental wellness issues as a result of bullying. Every child should be encouraged to tell someone as soon as possible if they think they are being bullied. (verywellfamily.com) 4
Social Inequalities Minorities – Students with “disabilities, LGBTQ students, religious minority students, and racial minority students” are all examples of social unequal students who are often bullied. (Florida State University) English Language Ability – As many people are moving into the United States from other countries, we often find students who do not have English as their primary language. This makes it very difficult for these students to converse with others and they may be bullied for how they attempt to say English words. 5
Existing Social Conditions Media – According to theenemyreader.org, we live in the “era of the bully.” We see bulling everywhere. We see bullying through social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram as well as in newspapers and on television. Students 12 and above who bully other students physically or to the extent that the victim commits suicide should be tried as adults, according to Jeff Edelstein. After Rebecca Sedwick committed suicide, her parents and others are pushing for “Rebecca's Law” to make sure that bullies are treated as criminals. (Playgroundequipment.com) 6
