Bullying Unit #1
Bullying
Definition: overbearing person who tyrannizes the weak; intimidation, a person hired to do violence
Context: The act of bullying is usually targeted at others who are not as strong. Bullies are often very aggressive.
Empathy:
Definition: intellectual identification of oneself with another, understanding the attitudes of others.
Context: When one demonstrates empathy they are putting themselves in another's shoes to learn how they feel and or act.
Alternative:
Definition: offering a choice of two things, selecting a course of action.
Context: We can choose alternatives to our behaviors and look for various ways to react to others. Talking over an issue is a better alternative than hitting someone who has made us angry.
