MAY 2018 NGES NEWSLETTER | 3 Counselling Connections Is it rude, mean or bullying? Do you know the difference? Bullying is bad. There is no other way to put it, but sometimes the term bullying gets used when another word might be more appropriate. Here is a quick refresher for us all. Rude = Inadvertently saying or doing something that hurts someone else. At school sometimes kids are rude and it might look like jumping ahead in line, bragging about achieving the highest grade or even splashing mud outside on the playground. On their own, any of these behaviors could appear as elements of bullying, but when thought about in a single context, these moments of rudeness are usually spontaneous, unplanned, based on thoughtlessness, show poor manners, but are not meant to actually hurt someone. Mean = Purposefully saying or doing something to hurt someone once (or maybe twice). The main distinction between “rude” and “mean” behavior is the intention; while rudeness is often unintentional, mean behavior very much aims to hurt someone. Kids are mean to each other when they criticize clothing, appearance, intelligence, coolness or just about anything else they can attack. Meanness also sounds like words spoken in anger that is often regretted. The following are snip-its that could be heard in the hallways: “You are such a loser. No one likes you.” And, “You are so fat/ugly/stupid.” As well as, “I hate you!” Make no mistake; mean behaviors can cut deeply and kids should be made accountable for being mean. Yet, meanness is different from bullying in important ways. Bullying = Intentionally aggressive behavior, repeated over time, that involves an imbalance of power. Experts agree that bullying has three key elements: an intent to harm, a power imbalance and repeated acts or threats of aggressive behavior. Kids who bully say or do something intentionally hurtful to others and they KEEP doing it, with NO sense of regret or remorse — even when targets of bullying express their hurt or tell the aggressors to stop. Bullying may be physical, verbal, relational or carried out via technology. • Physical aggression includes hitting, punching, kicking, spitting, tripping, hair pulling, slamming a child into a locker and a range of other behaviors that involve physical aggression. • Verbal aggression is what our parents used to advise us to “just ignore.” We now know that words and threats can, indeed, hurt and can even cause lasting harm. • Relational aggression is a form of bullying in which kids use their friendship—or the threat of taking their friendship away—to hurt someone. Social exclusion, shunning, hazing, and rumor spreading are all forms of this type of bullying. • Cyberbullying is a specific form of bullying that involves technology. The likelihood of sharing is extremely high when using technology making cyberbullying intensely harmful because of the quick and repeated exposure. So, why is it so important to make the distinction between rude, mean and bullying? My worry is that if we, as a community, use the term bullying incorrectly, we become de-sensitized and perhaps not take real action when our children need us the most. It is important to distinguish between rude, mean and bullying so that teachers, school administrators, police, youth workers, parents and kids all know what to pay attention to and when to intervene. MAY 2018 NGES NEWSLETTER | 4 Bus Evacuation Drill Students will be participating in a Bus Evacuation Drill on Monday, May 28, 2018 at regular dismissal time. Students may arrive home a few minutes later that day. Literacy Night Save the Date!! On May 23rd from 6:00-7:00 we will be partnering with our Home and School Association to put on a literacy night and kick off our summer slide reading plan. The night will involve draws for prizes, snacks, treats and activities for students. Parents will be invited to join together in a separate space while children are entertained with fun activities. Weather Conditions The weather is very unpredictable; therefore, ensure students arrive at school prepared to go outside at recess and lunch. Please send them with warm footwear, a hat, mittens, a coat, splash pants, rain boots, etc. Please send your children with a change of clothes as well. If they have them with them we don’t need to bother you to drop by the school with a change of clothes. Thank you. Collaborative Learning Time Teachers worked with Robin Harris, who was a key developer in the provincial math curriculum, on understanding the types of questions we need to present to our students to develop deep thinking and understanding of math. Math, along with literacy, are essential to support students in future success. Teachers will continue to work on levels of questions we ask of students and how these concepts build from Primary to Grade 6. MAY 2018 NGES NEWSLETTER | 5 School Fundraiser The orders from Dielman Fundraising Sales are expected to arrive at the school later in May. Once the products are received they will be sent home with students. If the order is too large to be transported on the bus we will call the child’s parent to pick the order up at the school. Thank you again for your ongoing support. Our school staff was treated to a staff appreciation lunch this month, which was sponsored by the Home and School Association. The incredible food, beautiful flowers, tea, coffee and cards of appreciation were very much enjoyed by all. Thank you to all parents who organized and supported such a generous event. It made our month! Student Morning Arrival The school day at NGES does not begin until 8:28am. The doors will not be open for student arrival until that time. This is also the time that school buses begin to arrive at our school to deliver students. If students walk to school please do not have them arrive until 8:28am.

It is so normalized within our society that it often goes unrecognized and unquestioned. This study describes and explores the phenomenon of workplace stress. This study looks at some of the key factors, such as overwork, being undervalued in the workplace, and emotional labour, that contributes to workplace stress. This study makes a case that workplace stress is a cloaked phenomenon for dehumanization. The research starts with theoretical overview of dehumanization through different theoretical constructs, such as instrumentalism and moral disengagement, and also through Haslam's and Montague's models of dehumanization. The theoretical explorations here consider how we have allowed ourselves to become dehumanized and how we have allowed others to be dehumanized.

  • Impoliteness and Rudeness in Sawungkampret Comics by Dwi Koendoro
    Culturalistics: Journal of Cultural, Literary, and Linguistic Studies, [2] (1), [2018], [14-22] Available online at: http://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/culturalistics Article Received: 05/12/2017; Accepted: 05/01/2018; Published: 31/01/2018 Impoliteness and Rudeness in Sawungkampret Comics by Dwi Koendoro Ayu Ida Savitri English Study Program, Faculty of Humanities, Diponegoro University e-mail address: [email protected] Abstract Impoliteness and rudeness are two different terms referring to similar offensive behaviour. The difference of those terms lays on the intention of speaker in doing the offensive behaviour. Culpeper (1996) introduces Impoliteness Theory as something he calls ‘parasite’ of Brown and Levinson’s (1987) Politeness Theory by exposing five super strategies: Bald on Record Impoliteness, Positive Impoliteness, Negative Impoliteness, Sarcasm or Mock Impoliteness, and Withhold Politeness. He also divides impoliteness into three types: Affective, Coercive, and Entertaining. Meanwhile, rudeness is defined as what a speaker said or did –or even not said and done– which offends a hearer and prevents him/her to feel comfortable or convenience with the speaker’s words or acts (Rondina and Workman, 2005:3). It is a kind of negative behaviour which is insensitive or disrespectful reflecting someone’s disregard towards others (Dubrin, 2011:87). In relation with Brown and Levinson (1987) Face Threatening Act (FTA), Beebe (1995) defines rudeness as “an FTA or features of FTA” breaking social interaction norms of the social context of it (in Culpeper, 2011:19). Culpeper (2005) considers impoliteness is done either intentionally or accidentally because impoliteness comes about when: (1) a speaker intentionally hold face-attack communication, or (2) a hearer assumes and/or considers a particular behaviour as “intended face-attacking”, or a combination of (1) and (2)” (in Bousfield and Locher, 2008:131).

    PROCTOR RESEARCH BRIEF | MARCH 2021 Who Is the Real Bully? Teacher Bullying and Occurrences in Racially-Disparate Classrooms By Patrice W. Glenn Jones, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Teacher Bullying, which can be defined as any of many malicious abusive behaviors or comments toward a student, has been documented and studied by researchers.

Take that homeless people, sick people, refugees, or those deemed ‘racially inferior’ are often treated in a far from respectful manner, likened to bacteria, vermin, or waste, and treated alike. Take the age-old view that women are only a ‘second’ sex with all the consequences this view has had for the oppression and the violence women have had to face. Take abusive work relations as part of which people are treated as exploitable machines. These are all paradigmatic examples of dehumanization occurring as part of our contemporary social world. Dehumanization happens when people are depicted, regarded, or treated as not human or less human. As a result, the dehumanized might, in fact, end up—in ‘the devil’s fairground’—with less than a human life. What ‘being human’ means as part of dehumanization varies, is often idealized, and is rarely about an easy-to-capture matter.

  • Rudeness in the Workplace
    Journal of Leadership, Accountability and Ethics Rudeness and Incivility in the Workplace Suzanne M. Crampton Grand Valley State University John W. Hodge Grand Valley State University Rudeness and incivility among employees are common throughout the business world. With the emphasis on profits and controlling labor costs, there are many issues evolving from the lack of civility within the workplace. This paper will provide examples of rudeness and incivility along with possible causes and performance problems. Significant attention will be given to the control and management of rudeness and incivility from both a personal and organizational point of view. INTRODUCTION Everyone would like to work in an environment where they are treated with respect and professionalism. However, there is considerable evidence to suggest that the “civil” work environment is the exception rather than the norm. What is “incivility?” The Oxford Dictionary defines incivility as “a rude or discourteous act; to act rudely is to be discourteous without regard for others in violation of norms for respect in social interactions.” The workplace norms are the norms of the community consisting of basic moral standards that have developed over time and are usually prescribed through formal and informal organizational policies, rules, and procedures (Brooks, et al.). Typical words used to describe rudeness and incivility include such terms as being crude, inelegant, uncouth, coarse, vulgar, discourteous, unlearned, uncivilized, ignorant, uneducated, and simple.

  • The Effect of Perceived Incivility on Task Performance and The
    INCIVILITY AND PERFORMANCE Do You Pass It On? The Effect of Perceived Incivility on Task Performance and the Performance Evaluations of Others Kimberly McCarthy California State University, San Marcos Jone L. Pearce University of California, Irvine John Morton University of California, Irvine Sarah Lyon University of San Diego Forthcoming in 2020 in Organization Management Journal 1 INCIVILITY AND PERFORMANCE Do You Pass It On? An Examination of the Consequences of Perceived Cyber Incivility The context of social interactions in the workplace has evolved dramatically over the past few decades, from an era dominated mostly by face-to-face interaction to the current organizational landscape, where technology-mediated communication reigns. Despite the changing circumstances and context of our workplace interactions, there is limited knowledge of how message medium influences employee communication. The pertinent question then, is how much of what we understand about face-to-face social interaction can be applied to electronic interactions? In the present study, we contribute to the emerging literature on computer- mediated communication by comparing the effects of incivility experienced face-to-face with incivility encountered via email on both task performance and performance evaluation. The well- known negative effects of workplace incivility, coupled with the frequency of employee interaction through electronic channels at work, make gaining a more complete understanding of the impact of electronic incivility an important research objective. An emerging field within workplace misbehavior is cyber incivility (Lim & Teo, 2009). Cyber incivility is email behavior perceived by the email recipient as insensitive, disrespectful, and a violation of norms for mutual respect within an organization (Porath & Erez, 2007; Lim & Teo, 2009).

  • Evaluating the Character of People Who Insult the Nation: Implications for Immigrant Integration
    bs_bs_banner Political Psychology, Vol. 39, No. 2, 2018 doi: 10.1111/pops.12414 Evaluating the Character of People Who Insult the Nation: Implications for Immigrant Integration Rahsaan Maxwell University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Lucie House University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill We examine immigrant integration by analyzing how natives evaluate immigrants’ character. Most literature examines how natives distinguish between immigrants with different levels of assimilation, which is best suited to identifying integration boundaries between different types of immigrants. We shift the analysis and examine the boundary between immigrants and natives, which measures integration by the extent to which immigrant status is relevant for character evaluations. We compare how natives respond to national insults that come from immigrants as opposed to natives. We focus on insulting the nation because it highlights the salience of national identity and clarifies the importance of group boundaries. We measure responses to national insults with vignette experiments from three original surveys in the United States. Our results are consistent with situationist theories of interpersonal interactions because they suggest that character evaluations are more dependent on the situational distinction between people who do and do not insult the nation than the demographic distinction between whether the insult comes from a native or immigrant. These findings have multiple implications for our understanding of national identity, immigrant integration, and immigrant-native boundaries. KEY WORDS: immigrant integration, assimilation, boundaries, national insults, USA, situationist, national identity Immigrant integration is the process by which immigrants become part of the host society (Alba & Foner, 2015). Natives’ evaluations of immigrants are a key indicator of how immigrant integration is proceeding because those evaluations are the gateway to full acceptance in mainstream society (Gordon, 1964).
