bullying

When a person harass, pursues or upset to another, is incurring some kind of bullying. The verb harass refers to an action or a conduct that implies generating a discomfort or disagreement in the other one. For example: "I will not tolerate harassment: tomorrow I will present my resignation", "The singer went out the back door to avoid harassment from journalists", "The harassment of the neighbors is very annoying to me".

Harassment can occur in different areas and in the most diverse ways. If carried out by an individual who intends to abuse his can or from your hierarchical position to sexually intimate with another person, you talk about sexual harassment.

In this case, the harasser seeks to intimidate or pressure the harassed into agreeing to maintain some type of intimate relationship. Harassment can be carried out through obscene comments, innuendo, or physical contact.

Based on this type of sexual harassment, we have to say that there is a movie that addresses it clearly and forcefully. It is the American feature film "Harassment", released in 1994 under the direction of Barry Levinson, which stars Demi Moore and Michael Douglas.

The story he tells is that of a large company worker who is accused by an executive of sexual harassment. It is about his boss and what he will try to prove at all times is that it was the same woman who proceeded to carry out this crime against him.

The bullying, for its part, takes place in an educational institution and includes mistreatment of a student. This harassment, which is also known by the English concept of bullying, can include physical violence, teasing, humiliation and any other component that affects the emotional state and integrity of the student.

Regarding this type of harassment, it should be noted that there are various publications and even movies. In this case, we can highlight, for example, the feature film “Harassment in the classroom”. In 2005 this American film was released and brought to the big screen by the filmmaker Marta Coolidge.

Sammi Hanratty or Austin Thomas are some of the actors that are part of the cast of said production that tells how Chrissa, an eleven-year-old girl, moves to another city with her entire family. That means that you have to change institute and you will arrive at one where you will continually receive the ridicule, criticism and continuous tripping of three classmates. A situation that will become a real nightmare for the girl until she decides to face it.

If the harassment takes place at a distance, through Internet or mobile phone (cell), it is called as cyber bullying. Cyberbullying generally occurs in conjunction with other forms of bullying that involve direct contact. A child, for example, may be disturbed in his schoolyard and, upon arriving home, receive a threatening email. Something similar can happen with the secretary who endures the sexual jokes of her boss in the office and on the phone.

Within the category of psychological harassment are all the modalities exposed. And along with them, we should also talk about family harassment, property harassment and even workplace harassment.
