The rate of bullying that can be detected in schools these days is astonishing. Now a days, with the use of new technology but also with traditional ways, kids continue to bully other children simply because they are different. Leonid Fridman demonstrates how these wrongful actions have taken a toll on children and young adults across the nation. In the passage from ¨America Needs Nerds¨ by Leonid Fridman, Fridman develops his argument that intellectuals should stop being ashamed for their intellectual achievements and instead should be praised for them through the usage of an accusatory tone, rhetorical questions, and continuous comparisons. To start off, Fridman develops his argument that intellectuals should stop being ashamed for their
Author and editor of two magazines, Lauren Tarshis in the essay, Is Facebook Making You Mean?, published on September 5, 2011 in a classroom magazine addresses the topic of online bullying through the popular social networking site, Facebook, and argues that these sites should be used responsibly to ensure the safety of all users.

Second by, making an emotional appeal to her audience which creates a unity between the reader and writer. Finally by, establishing her credibility as a writer by providing an extensive amount of educated assertions supported by scientific studies.
According to Waldron, dignity is "their social standing, the fundamentals of basic reputation that entitle them to be treated as equals in the ordinary operations of society," (Waldron 5). Dignity may be diminished when the victim is humiliated and there is a lack of respect for a person’s social standing, “Unlike offense, insults to dignity are not about wounded feelings, at least not in the first instance,” (Waldron 110). Continuing that, some areas of the law must hold people accountable for hurting others' feelings because “degrading treatment will be experienced as humiliation and will be felt as deeply distressing. This is because human dignity almost always has a conscious component, if only because it is linked to aspects of our being such as reason, understanding, autonomy, free will, and normative self-regard,” (Waldron 109). Protecting from offense is to protect from hate speech and he hopes that it will be taken more seriously by American legislators because the harm it does is not insignificant.
6 When a child turns to bullying, there is almost always a cause and origin to this behavior. 10, 8, 6, Studying the psychology of these children, the impulse to exhibit this dominance has been connected to many factors: with the lack of affection, abuse, and poor role models, the lack of control in their lives can be accommodated by bullying. 3 Vulnerable individuals are a satisfactory outlet for their emotions; moreover, they seek dominance through the humiliation of those who most likely have no one to come to their defense. 10, 5 Likewise, Twain observes similar behaviors in individuals who pursue superiority, revealing humanities flaws from their tactics. 10, 2, 4
A sensitive society has its difficulties for people to even speak out against the issue of bullying, without being interpreted a different way than its original meaning. Bullying and harassment have been a noticeable problem among students in schools worldwide, and still social acceptance and acknowledgment is a continuous issue. Teens are often picked on because of their sexual orientation/preference, appearances, and many other physical or mental factors. One of the main reasons that bullying and harassment is so prevalent among the teen- aged group is because it is so easy for that age group to succumb to competitions within the group as to whom is the coolest. Additionally, what comprises and qualifies as cool is predecided and made a
Since the founding of our judicial system there have always been individuals claiming innocence to a crime that they have been found guilty of, traditionally, after their sentencing no matter how innocent they may or may not be would have to serve, live and possibly die by the decision of their peers. The Innocence Project, founded in 1992 by Barry C. Scheck alongside Peter J. Neufeld faces this issue by challenging the sentencing of convicted individuals who claim their innocence and have factual ground to stand upon. The Innocence Project uses the recent advances in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) testing to prove their client’s innocence by using methods that were not available, too primitive or not provided to their clients during their investigation,
Reproductive justice is a term for allowing women to have the right to choose in family planning. Women should be able to choose when to get pregnant or not. One of the problems that arise from this topic is abortion. People who are pro-life do not allow abortion for pregnant women, while people who are pro-choice believe that women should have a right to choose for abortion. In pro-life paradigms, fetus is a life, therefore, abortion should be criminalized.
The title “the Age of Innocence” is an ironic title in comparison to the plot of the book. The story portrays the true scandal of the upper class society. The book takes place in New York during the 1920’s. During this time social rules were strict and women were seen as weaker than men. The title of this book gives the appearance that everyone will be model citizens, obeying the strict societal rules, and portraying their strong marriages.
Bullying is a phenomenon existing as long as humans exist. The fact that it didn’t have a name for years doesn’t mean that it wasn’t a widespread way of behavior, in cases where two different types of people were involved ; the strong and the weak ones. Although bullying is considered as a form of aggression, or in some cases as an infringement of the human rights, “bullying is commonly regarded as an aspect of aggression”. (Roland and Idsoe, 2001), there are significant differences between them , the most important of which that “bullying is different from peer conflict. It is conflict between individuals that do not share equal physical and / or psychological power.

Often times bullying occurs when adults are not around, which makes it one student’s word against another. In addition, the lack of clear and consistent policy and procedures in schools compounds the ethical dilemma of bullying for educators. This paper aims to establish what bullying is, identify the current problems associated with bullying and discuss guidelines for resolving the ethical issues related to bullying. Understanding Bullying Definition Research on bullying began in the late 1970s and early 1980s when a Norwegian researcher, Dan Olweus, began studying the issue (Beaty & Alexeyev, 2008; Greene, 2006).
Question of the research. In the researches of Lithuanian scholars, the human dignity is more frequently analysed from the juridical, theological, educological and philosophical points of view.

In the practice of social work, it is more frequent to write about the factors of human dignity
