Bullying Good (Context)
Bullying is a huge issue. People talk about bullying in the work place. Other people call it hazing. But I call it very simple interaction with differences. Employers are not allowed to bully their employees. Likewise, employees can not bully one another. Selisiters can still bully customers into buying something they do not want. Likewise, customers can bully employees, and employees are supposed to take it.
I love to watch sports, and I even like to play sports. But I realize that they foster bullying. Whether it is a coach yelling at a player or having them run sprints. There is a fine line between hazing and educating. Players celebrating their victory over another player sometimes called taunting, but other times even in the simplest form is bullying. Finally the gravest is the bullying of Fans. I admit that in the name of being a fan actions toward free throw shooters, players on the court, and even on poster board, I have bullied people.
What is said by fans at any of various levels of sporting activities is bullying. You can even hear phrases to the extent of Abusive language. You can then watch sports on television and listen to analyst praise this activity. They celebrate these actions and language on Gameday, and Sports Center.
Bullying while grotesque to most is celebrated. Sports may even be the least of actual bullying activity going on. Politics breads off the concept. Every election cycle is fostered by bullying. Each party talks about good politics, but really are just teaching bullying tactics in order to get their own way. It is just the King of the Mountain, pushing the other down to take their place.
Sports, Politics, and Religion all seem to play the bullying game. The conversations, logical arguments, and compromise have all been destroyed. There is only I am right and you are wrong. Even if You say you are open minding, It just means there is no right, so you obviously can't be right. Thank you.
