Дитячі Думки про світ & Насильство

Є Насильство Нормальний або Дисфункциональное?

Деякі люди стверджують, що насильство завжди було навколо з незапам'ятних часів і завжди буде. Це правда? Чи означає це, залишити місце для можливості зміни?

Є конфлікти і насильство одне і те ж? чи конфлікт просто розбіжності який є природним і здоровим частиною людського буття? Якщо конфлікт природно те, що це насильство? Чи є насильство результат негативної наміри, придушення і / або кондиціонування? (див. нижче анекдотичних дослідження про те, що діти думають і відчувають).

Всякий раз, коли мені цікаво, якщо люди поведінка природа (вроджений) чи виховання (вчений), Я згадую історію здичавілих дітей, які жили з тваринами. Тоді я згадую, що життя потужному впливу повітря через середовище, в якій ми живемо.

Маленькі діти, які були підняті на тварин з самого раннього віку визначити більше з їх прийомними батьками тварин, ніж людей, кого вони сприймають як іноземця або небезпечно. Практично всі дикі діти чинять опір захопленню, воліють жити в дикій природі, спроба тікає від людей, триматися подалі або уникнути людей, а деякі сидять невиразним. Дикі діти не виявляють жодного інтересу у дітей того ж віку, ні гри вони грають. Вони не визнають своє відображення і не виявляють жодних ознак прихильності до іншої людини. Вони не відомо, сміятися чи плакати. Вони виявляють поведінку прийомної сім'ї. Вони колінах напоєм, дізнатися звуки тварин і жести. Вони не люблять одяг і сльозогінний одяг. Дикі діти шукати компанію тварин. Досить таки цікава дикі тварини підійдуть здичавілих дітей ( http://www.smashinglists.com/10-feral-human-children-raised-by-animals/ ). Ці захоплюючі розповіді показати, як потужний соціальний кондиціонування і довкілля. Якщо дитина підняв вовками не ідентифікує з людьми взагалі, це показує, що особистість і поведінка, витягнуті з навколишнього середовища.

Так, дивлячись на насильства у світі. Деякі можуть сказати, тварини схильні до насильства, але, як ми знаємо, їх намір є насильницькою (негативне намір) або просто інстинкти виживання? Чи може це бути людиною проекція? Коли ми спостерігаємо природу, очевидно, що природна система самостійно регулює і що населення забито балансом хижаками та видобутком. Ми також є частиною природи, але ми, здається, відрізняються, тому що у нас є складніші думки і почуття процеси. Наші емоційні стани фільтрувати світ ми бачимо. Подумайте про те, як би ви себе почували, якщо ви виграли в лотерею, а потім думати про те, як ви відчуваєте, коли ви горем. Як виглядатиме світ для вас? Якщо ви постійно перегляд сцен насильства зображення, як же, що ефект, який ви емоційно? Як це налаштувати ваш світ? Подумайте про це, а потім перейти в вашу почуття. Що створить позитивні почуття? що створить позитивний світ?

Насильство засвоєне поведінку, і це дуже важливо, щоб діти дізналися, що насильство не здоровий спосіб вирішити конфлікт. Це здорово мати розбіжності в думках, він не повинен бути негативним, якщо інший не згоден.

Якщо ми дивимося на світ, як він є, і бачити, що кожна людина має різний життєвий досвід і бачить світ по-іншому, може бути, ми можемо погодитися не погодитися без прихильності до перемоги аргумент будь-яку ціну.

Життя в обстановці насильства збільшує шанси дітей розвивається поведінкові проблеми. Вона вчить їх, що це, як ми маємо справу з конфліктом і можете налаштувати життя моделі, які можуть привести до великої горе і страждання в собі й інші, як вони вплинуть на.

Майкл Мур у своєму документальному фільмі «Боулінг для Коломбіни’ розповідає про зростанням насильства в суспільстві і ключового питання про страх. He talks about the shootings at Columbine High School in Littleton Colorado, USA and interviews the Public Relations Manager at Lockheed Martin, виробник зброї для уряду США. Він піднімає питання і посилання народи врегулювання спорів шляхом насильства (було) і насильство в школах. Цікаво, згідно з національним законодавством, бойовики в Columbine High (якби вони жили) був би засуджений за вбивство і засуджений до тюремного ув'язнення. У той час як ті, хто вбиває від імені груп людей (офіційні органи влади) не намагався відповідності з міжнародним правом. Інші групи, які вбивають (неофіційний) називаються «терористи’ (не погоджуватися) або "борці за свободу’ (погоджуватися) залежно від сторони, ви знаходитесь на.

Why do our ethics and values change because the decision is made by a group we perceive as an authority? Does killing work given where we want to go as a society or civilisation? At the end of the day whether the group is official or unofficial, they both kill the enemy to achieve a goal. In reality the killing of a person inflicts not only pain and suffering on the victim but the friends and families of the victim. На додаток, communities experience enormous psychological fear and upheaval. The children grow up with lifetime wounds and viewing the world as a dangerous place. Does war create real peace? Is that possible? Do we want real peace? When you start to look underneath you can sense power (control through fear) and propaganda (influence through perceptions of right and wrong) at work.

Looking at our society are we teaching violence to our children through violent videos, movies and warfare live on cable T.V.? Is the message that using violence is how we solve problems? In truth it is a traditional paradigm of power over others through fear (bullying). Fear is used to change behaviour at every level of our society. However, does changing behaviour change beliefs? does it change your beliefs? If people don’t willingly change beliefs to align with behaviour, people become suppressed and resentful when forced by others.

What is the difference between a terrorist and a soldier? Both kill on orders. What creates terror? What creates war? Why do we use violence to settle disputes? Why can’t parents be taught to use models of empowerment or love, that is, teaching children to make choices and accept responsibility for outcomes? Why do we still teach children through our example that they must do as we say? Do we always do what we say? Are we really asking them what they think or feel? Why not empower children rather than use force? We must think about this if we are to survive as a species.

Насильство в школах

In the US, violence and youth violence in particular, is considered the most serious challenge to society. This view is strengthened by the teenage shootings at Columbine High school, Littleton, Colorado. Two teenagers threatened and killed classmates with high-powered rifles. The cause of this behaviour is perceived to be associated with the boys feeling ostracised, stigmatised and bullied by their classmates and teachers. The violence is regarded as a learned response to frustration. Littleton provides an example of the cultural acceptance of using violence as a form of problem solving. Violence in schools is considered the most pressing educational issue in the US. Some critics assert that schools are failing to respond to the problem decisively, risking support for public education. [1]

In Australia, the recent October 21, 2002 shooting at Monash University, raised concern about violence in schools. In this incident an armed man with a hand gun killed two people. [2] These incidents raise community fear of not feeling safe and raise questions about the use of violence to solve problems.

Dr Christie from Queensland University of Technology states that schools have been long recognised as the primary sites of violence. [3] Violence ranges from verbal assault to criminal assaults. Більше того, it was found in a study that between 50-60% of boys and 40% of girls had homophobic feelings. In Western Australia (1992) boys were suspended for physical assault 25 times more than girls. In Victoria, 83% of students suspended were boys mostly for physical and verbal abuse. In the ACT, (1996) an increase in violent behaviour was evident in Primary school, kindergarten and pre-schools. [4]

Factors underlying violence are considered complex. The circumstances and background of those committing acts of violence include: socio-economic status, family life and relationships, school, work and community experiences. На додаток, the gaps between rich and poor can be a catalyst for violence. The media and media based entertainment can and does influence violence. [5]

Factors associated with antisocial and criminal behaviour include child disability, low self- esteem, poor social skills, alienation and impulsive behaviour. School related factors include: school failure, deviant peer group, bullying, peer rejection and inadequate behaviour management. Family factors include: teenage mothers, father absence, disharmony, family violence, family break up and divorce. The family is consistently presented as having the greatest influence on children. [6] A myriad of factors associated with child violence and aggression include child maltreatment and poor parental child-rearing practices. The child is trained to be aggressive through early coercive familial interaction patterns. Parents model and children learn coercive behaviours to escape negative stimuli. [7]

Знущання в школі

Bullying is recognised as a form of violent behaviour. In Australia, a study of 7,500 students reported that 20% of students aged between 5-17 years were bullied at least once a week. Bullying is considered more prevalent in Primary school. [8] Більше того, one in twenty children is a bully. [9]

According to research conducted in the UK the playground was the most common site for bullying. In the US, bullying is estimated to affect 10-20% of the student population, most notably verbal teasing and intimidation. [10]

Professor Ken Rigby from the University of South Australia, states that bullying is ‘the repeated oppression of a less powerful person by a more powerful person or group”. Bullying is classified as physical, verbal and psychological. Bullying is based on threat or fear. Once the pattern is set up the bully does not have to do much to produce fear and the victim finds it impossible to break this cycle. [11]

There are 7 elements to bullying:

  1. Desire to hurt – inflict pain
  2. Bullying acts on desire;
  3. Action is hurtful;
  4. An imbalance of power – bully is stronger and more powerful (physically, psychologically);
  5. There is no justification for the action, victim has done nothing;
  6. It is persistent behaviour;
  7. The bully enjoys hurting the victim. [12]

Bullying becomes entrenched in society because of secrecy and a culture that perceives it is bad to ‘dob‘ happening. [13]

Families of victims are typically overprotective whereas families of bullies don’t care. There is an inconsistency in dealing with behavioural problems. Punishment may be inconsistent or perhaps too harsh.
The child absorbs the message that the world is unpredictable and unfair. [14]

The consequences of bullying is low self esteem, stress, anxiety attacks and nightmares. In some cases persistent bullying has let to suicide. Більше того, as a result of constant fear schoolwork suffers and concentration is poor. Studies have revealed that people persistently bullied as children can cause adult depression and difficulty in forming relationships. [15]

From the perspective of bullies, their life chances are minimised. A high proportion of bullies achieve little at school, leave early and then get into trouble with the law. They are four times more likely to come before the court and be convicted of anti-social offences. This entrenches in their life patterns and their children are likely to become bullies. Hence, aggressive children may grow up to become violent parents or members of the community. [16] The behaviour of bullying has negative impacts on both the bully and victim. It is important to create a culture that does not tolerate this kind of behaviour. Overseas projects have proven that schools make a difference by creating happier and safer places for children. [17]

Strategies for dealing with bullying include peer mediation to provide the means of raising awareness and empowering students to take responsibility for resolving problems. Providing lifetime skills such as effective communication, listening, assertiveness and problem solving. Other important skills include: relating skills, self-esteem, accepting own feelings and developing empathy for others and conflict resolution skills. [18] It is important as a class that children discuss openly bullying and develop class rules which impacts on the school ethos. [19]

Засоби масової інформації та насильство

Society will need to question violence in the media. There are many sides to the debate that argue that media affects behaviour and other schools of thought state that it doesn’t. In my personal life I have found myself modelling from the media and conclude that what we expose ourselves to becomes part of our memory and can be drawn upon to make sense of the world. As a market researcher I am aware that television programming is not representative of the wider world. Programming is selective with the aim of maximising advertising revenue. Therefore the main motivation is profitability not social responsibility or complete information.

The media is viewed as furthering violence by:

  • Загальний – Popularisation of violence in the media;
  • Print media – some depict cartoons which encourage laughter at cruelty;
  • Magazines – some degrade women and link them with violence and being victims;
  • Video – can be intensely violent, sexually sadistic, pro-war videos are a serious international problem.

(Source: Jane Chesneau, Australian Television Action Committee, Conference on Weapons and Violence in Australia, 1989)

Is Television Violent?

  • What one person sees as violent may not be seen the same way;
  • Few meaningful definitions of violence;
  • Broadcasters accused of allowing too much violence on TV (Gunter, Wober: 1988)
  • UK – 2,078 programmes analysed, using a 4 week sample, under 30.1% contained some violence, frequency of violence 1.7 acts per hour (Cumberbatch: 1987)
  • NZ – 846 episodes of violence on one week, 9.5 acts per hour,
  • Sweden, Switzerland – low rates of violence, 2 acts per hour (NZ Foundation for Peace Studies: 1986);
  • Average Australian child – бачити 15,000 murders on TV during school year;
  • 97% of crime shows, 74% adventure, 86% cartoons contain violence.

(Chain Reaction: 1992)

 

The Debate: ‘Television Violence Causes Aggression’ – Pro

  • Research in 50’s and 60’s flaws, methods and designs improved;
  • Reports support findings: 1972 Surgeon General’s Report, 1982 National Institute of Mental Health, Psychological Society, Royal Commission on Violence in Communications Industry, CRTC, UNESCO; (Joesphson:1995)
  • Feshback & Singer study (1973) found boys viewing aggressive TV showed increase in aggressive behaviour;
  • Belson study (1978) interviewed 1565 teenage boys in England between 1959 and 1971 – boys gave info on own level of violence, frequency. Belson found that viewers who watched high amounts of violence reported greater violence; (Williams: 1986);
  • Many social scientists agree there is a causal relationship;
  • Bidirectional model – television violence influences aggression, aggression influences preference for television violence
  • (Huston & Friedrich-Cofer:1986)
  • Comprehension of Children – Age
  • Up to 18 місяців – short attention spans;
  • 2 1/2 yrs – fully fledged viewers, limited meaning, imitate, prefer cartoons;
  • 3-5 yrs – exploration approach, search for meaning. Behave aggressively after watching high action;
  • 6-7 років – critical time. Cognitive ability to follow plots, inference, consequences, less mental effort (effort determines processing);
  • 8 років – more sensitive to content, not aggressive if violence portrayed as evil, suffering, likely to show aggression if violence reflects real life, identify character or engage in aggressive fantasies;
  • 6-11 yrs – watching more adult shows, taste for horror, desensitising themselves to fear and violence, likely to become tolerant to violence in real world;
  • 12-17 yrs – abstract thought, reasoning, little mental effort, prefer music videos, horror, pornography (boys) deal with topics in negative way. Adolescents doubt reality of TV, challenge authority.

Вплив на дітей

In the literature on television violence the following points were made regarding the impact on children.

  • Physical aggression, potential to injure, verbal abuse, threats (Williams:1986)
  • Belson study (1978) – television affected teenagers pre-disposed to violence;
  • Experiment – group of children shown TV film of someone playing roughly with doll, given similar doll, more likely to play violently (NZ Foundation for Peace Studies:1986);
  • Psychological research found televised violence has effects on children – imitation, copycat violence;
  • Emotional effects on children, desensitise;
  • Resort to physical violence to resolve conflicts;
  • 300 studies in 1986 – preschoolers more physically aggressive as a result of watching television;
  • Children who create violent or heroically aggressive fantasies and identify with heroes are likely to be affected by violent television, fantasies as rehearsals for violent response to real-life events.

Do We Have A Responsibility?

  • UN 1959 Declaration of the Rights of the Child;
  • Rights concerned with the need to develop; individual abilities and learn to be useful members of society;
  • Many families are more arenas of conflict;
  • Most Important Factor – the quality of the relationship with parents.
