Hannes Cannie & Dirk Voorhoof Introduction Kristof K. P. Vanhoutte, Gavin Fairbairn & Melanie Lang Bullying is present in every sphere of life and is perhaps the most important ethical problem in the modern world. It consists, essentially, in the abuse of power, and can involve psychological cruelty, cultural and personal insults, religious and sexual intolerance, the abuse of political and economic power and ultimately physical force. It can ruin lives and it can end lives. Like other enduring cultural phenomena it has an ability to mutate into new forms, which in recent years has included the invasive use of email to intimidate people and the use of text messaging and social networking sites like Facebook and Bebo to threaten and abuse people. Such bullying is particularly common among the young and has claimed many lives through the suicide of victims. Most of us first come across bullying in school, whether as victims, perpetrators or both. But it is much more significant in human affairs than a bit of pushing and name calling in the playground. It is to be found in education at all levels, from kindergarten to university, among both staff and students, in prisons and detention centres, in sport; in politics both within and between political parties and in workplaces of all kinds. It is found in families, where it manifests itself not only in the squabbling that goes on between siblings, but in domestic violence; in the physical and sexual abuse of children and elders; in the imposition, within some communities, of unwanted marriages, and in the explosions of human emotion that are honour killings. It is found in international relations, with powerful nations bullying less powerful ones.1 It is also found in international trade, with some multi-national companies abusing the power that their financial and business strength gives them to bully suppliers across the globe that provide the products they sell. It is found in the lack of empathy and fellow feeling that leads to the abuse of political power and physical force, by repressive political regimes that suppress dissent through torture and ‘disappearances’. It features strongly in the route that dominant groups in some countries and regions of the world have taken in moving from intolerance via discrimination, to genocide. Conceived in this way, bullying is clearly a multi-faceted phenomenon, of interest and concern to academics and professionals of all kinds, including psychologists, sociologists, teachers, ethicists, politicians, therapists, philosophers, theologians, political theorists, physicians and human rights’ workers. It is because bullying is so damaging to individuals and communities, and because it results in human misery and the corruption of societal values, that it is important to address it seriously. This is what we aimed to do during the 1st Global Conference on Bullying & the Abuse of Power: From Playground to International Relations, at which the papers in this volume were presented. The conference, which took place in Salzburg, Austria, for three days in November 2009, was part of the ongoing programme of Inter-Disciplinary.Net, an viii Introduction __________________________________________________________________ organisation that seeks to find new and invigorating ways of bringing together people with shared concerns, in mutually supportive dialogue about things that matter. Organised around a series of ‘hubs’, each consisting of ongoing conference-based projects on related topics, Interdisciplinary.net aims to bring together academics, professionals and others who want to make a difference. Bullying & the Abuse of Power is part of its Ethos Hub, which focuses on critical issues that are thrown up by contemporary life. In line with the ambitions of Inter- Disciplinary.Net, and with the realisation that the complex nature of bullying means it cannot be understood from a single discipline perspective, this project is resolutely inter-disciplinary in nature, and the conference brought together speakers from many walks of life, including a range of professional and academic disciplines, in a shared quest to examine the phenomenon of bullying in a variety of contexts. The selection of papers gathered in this volume offers a snapshot of the material that inspired the many fruitful discussions in which participants engaged as together we founded this ongoing project. Bullying & the Abuse of Power was a global conference in more than one sense. First, because bullying is an issue that manifests itself in every corner of the globe. Secondly, because it attracted interest from all over the world, and in the end had participants from around twenty countries. Thirdly, it was global in the sense that it gathered participants from a wide range of academic disciplines, including Communication Studies, Theology, Philosophy, Ethics, Education Studies, Health and Life Sciences, Sociology, Political Science, Psychology, English and Social Sciences. Many of the academics present also had experience in the professions, including policing, teaching social work and clinical psychology. Bringing together such a varied group, joined by others from outside academia including therapists and counsellors, helped to open our discussions to more than just theoretical talk. Finally, it was global in the sense that many instances of bullying are truly global in their manifestation and in their implications, including, for example, the bullying that is international terrorism. 1. Thinking about what Bullying Is and what It Isn’t Attempts to define bullying are likely to fail, as it wears different clothes depending on the context. For example, while some bullying is public, in the sense that everyone, including not only the bully and his or her victim but everyone else, can see what is happening, some is invisible to all but those who are personally involved, who experience the satisfaction it offers, or the misery it brings. Some bullying, though visible in the physical and psychological scars of the victims, is difficult to detect - sometimes because it is deliberately hidden by the bullies, but sometimes, as so often happens in domestic abuse, because it is hidden by those who are being bullied. Some bullying involves physical contact and physical pain. However, some relies solely

  • Mobbing/Bullying Behaviour and Mental Health Difficulties of a Victim of Mobbing
    ISSN 2411-9563 (Print) European Journal of Social Sciences May-August 2017 ISSN 2312-8429 (Online) Education and Research Volume 4, Issue 4 Mobbing/bullying behaviour and mental health difficulties of a victim of mobbing Małgorzata Dobrowolska Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice, Poland University College of Social Sciences and Philologies Bernadetta Izydorczyk Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland, Faculty of Management and Social Communication Institute of Applied Psychology Abstract The paper provides the theoretical background of mobbying/bullying and description of a case study concerning a victim of mobbing. In conclusion, reflections concerning counteracting of bullying are provided. Each work environment, regardless the form of employment or the specificity of a job, creates conditions for more or less ethical behaviour Keywords: mobbing, mental health, case study Introduction A few reflections concerning mobbing/bullying Adamiec (2013), when analyzing the problems of ethical behaviour, points out that it is not so much about the ethical behaviour but the ethical – or not ethical – situations, in which people behave in a defined way - desired or undesired one. For a person to act in ethically correct way, the conditions of an ”ethical situation” must be met. Adamiec called the first of those conditions “awareness”, the clear autotelic values – the system of axioms, which we assume to be true in our logic, and which we do not question. The second condition refers to encountering or experiencing a problem, that is a threat for autotelic values, which appear difficult or even impossible to maintain, also the way of respecting or protecting them is not completely clear or known.

  • The Influence of Professional Experience on People's Tendency
    Available online at www.sserr.ro Social Sciences and Education Research Review (6) 1 213-221 (2019) ISSN 2393–1264 ISSN–L 2392–9863 THE INFLUENCE OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE ON PEOPLE’S TENDENCY TOWARDS WORKAHOLISM Marius NEGRILĂ, Independent researcher, Romania Abstract Workalholism is placed among the phenomena of organizational pathologies and may lead to serious health problems regarding both the physical and the mental status of the directly involved person or of the ones around him/her. This phenomenon has an impact on the emotional balance of the subject leading to depression, anxiety or even paranoia, which are usually connected to drug or alcohol addiction, compulsive eating, habits that give that lead to the feeling that you are no longer able to control your own life. A workaholic is a person who cannot control himself, working more than necessary, while becoming unhappy and starting to have health problems. The conclusions of the present research reflect that gender or the level of education are not so important when talking about the process of becoming workaholic, but the professional experience achieved over the years could strongly influence the process. The results were obtained through a survey applied on 30 persons, half men and half women of 30 to 45 years old. For the survey were selected subjects with any educational level and any kind of professional experience (0-3 years, 3-10 years and over 10 years). The hypothesis that the professional experience could influence the tendency to becoming a 213 workaholic was confirmed, but more important here are the reasons of suffering from this disease.

  • Karoshi and Karou-Jisatsu in Japan: Causes, Statistics and Prevention Mechanisms
    Asia Pacific Business & Economics Perspectives, Winter 2016, 4(2). Karoshi and Karou-jisatsu in Japan: causes, statistics and prevention mechanisms Behrooz Asgari Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University Beppu, Japan [email protected] Peter Pickar and Victoria Garay Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University Beppu, Japan ABSTRACT It has been long known that Japan has a penchant for work and loyalty. While hard work and loyalty are generally a positive trait, there is a fine line between productivity and overwork which results in negative side effects and health issues, often leaning to premature death or suicide. This effect has been known in Japan as “karoshi”, a word meaning death due to overwork; or in the case of suicide due to overwork, “karo-jisatsu”. This paper aims to explore the surrounding causes, background, current data and prevention mechanisms that afflict Japan and its culture of “salary-man sudden death syndrome”. Keywords: karoshi, karo-jisatsu, syndrome BACKGROUND Japan has a long history of loyalty and servitude stemming from its pre-war days and Code of Bushido, where “citizens lived in circumstances bordering on poverty” (Herbig & Palumbo, 1994). During these times, daily necessities were in short, with only the basics to live being in supply. The mentality of this time was to “self-sacrifice for the country” (Herbig & Palumbo, 1994) in an expression of loyalty, so the country could move forward in their endeavors. This generation was known as the “have” generation and their traits of loyalty and self-sacrifice were transferred forward to the ensuing generation. The post-war generation known as the “do” generation, appeared when the first baby-boom phenomenon “reached maturity in the height of Japan’s economic growth in the 1960’s” (Herbig & Palumbo, 1994) and readily applied their previous generations way of thinking to the business world.

  • 0 Musical Borrowing in Hip-Hop
    MUSICAL BORROWING IN HIP-HOP MUSIC: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS AND CASE STUDIES Justin A. Williams, BA, MMus Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2009 0 Musical Borrowing in Hip-hop Music: Theoretical Frameworks and Case Studies Justin A. Williams ABSTRACT ‗Musical Borrowing in Hip-hop‘ begins with a crucial premise: the hip-hop world, as an imagined community, regards unconcealed intertextuality as integral to the production and reception of its artistic culture. In other words, borrowing, in its multidimensional forms and manifestations, is central to the aesthetics of hip-hop. This study of borrowing in hip-hop music, which transcends narrow discourses on ‗sampling‘ (digital sampling), illustrates the variety of ways that one can borrow from a source text or trope, and ways that audiences identify and respond to these practices. Another function of this thesis is to initiate a more nuanced discourse in hip-hop studies, to allow for the number of intertextual avenues travelled within hip-hop recordings, and to present academic frameworks with which to study them. The following five chapters provide case studies that prove that musical borrowing, part and parcel of hip-hop aesthetics, occurs on multiple planes and within myriad dimensions. These case studies include borrowing from the internal past of the genre (Ch. 1), the use of jazz and its reception as an ‗art music‘ within hip-hop (Ch. 2), borrowing and mixing intended for listening spaces such as the automobile (Ch. 3), sampling the voice of rap artists posthumously (Ch. 4), and sampling and borrowing as lineage within the gangsta rap subgenre (Ch.
