Bullying

Since the day of dawn, people have been different. It is in our nature to compete, and we are always reaching. This urge to be stronger and better than everyone else, causes inferiority and superiority, making an equal society very improbable. People will always pick on each other, and the weaker will be suppressed. When groups of people gather to mock on one sorry person, we commonly call it bullying.

There is a multitude of reasons to counteract bullying. The childhood of many a man or woman has been jeopardized by the cruel act of bullying. There are several examples of bullying in the adult world as well, but it is a much bigger issue amongst the younger generations. Solving the disagreements between "bully" and victim might not always be too easy, and this is a very controversial topic. Some people think it lies in our very nature to mock on our inferiors, making the potential eradication of the activity a tremendously hard task.

Speculations have been made, that unifying and equalizing people will create less distinct differences amongst people. School uniforms create equality, and is one effort that has been made in battle against bullying. The idea of the school uniform is to make differences within the student society less apparent, so the social and economic of each pupil will not be exposed through there way of dressing.

For the last decade or two, bullying or mobbing, has been a hot topic in both Norway, but also the rest of the Scandinavia. I personally think it is sad that we have not picked up on the use of, for example school uniforms. Some might say it will not have any positive outcome, but I beg to differ.
