RE: Bullying Creates Emotional, Behavioral and Academic Problems for Children
Yes good points. Trying to win over someone else, where one doesn't want to lose, and engages in mistreatment of others in order to make sure one wins, is part of the bullying psychology. "If I'm not the winner, then I'm the loser", so you dominate all encounters to we the "Winner" is a self-deluded mindset, and that makes everyone else the loser. Cooperative competitiveness, where mistreatment isn't done, is a viable alternative. This can even foster win-win or win-win-win scenarios. Not everything needs to be looked at as a win-lose dichotomy.
My dad grew up in the 60s when TV first came out, but there was bullying and fights then too. What era are you referring to?
Thanks for the feedback :)
What era? Well although we were relatively poor compared to our neighbours, we had a TV where they all came to watch Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953. Perhaps in the 50's there was less bullying? would be nice to research some stats....
I have always strived for a win-win in business, with the occasional win-win-win.
So how best to change the world to Co-operative competitiveness? Seems to me the profiteers have a distinctive upper hand...
Yeah, they have the upper hand. How to change it? Changing minds first, then behavior can change. What lacks from humanity is always education. We're always busy with the rat race, survival or "enjoying" life to bother with thinking and trying to ameliorate our own lives or the future for those to come.
