Bullying Stigma Anatomy: An Anthropological Perspective

The current study addresses bullying at the macro level. Anthropological researches reveal that this societal calamity took its origins from ancient communities. Therefore, families have different expectations, boundaries, and ways of doing matters, but unfortunately, bullies do not appreciate this incongruence. With a descriptive analysis, a dual anthro-psychological approach was used to diagnose intimidation as a massive destructive phenomenon. This stigma emanates from backgrounds that encourage blunt language, or tolerate teasing. Furthermore, turbulent family relationships and toxic environment can have long-lasting scars on bullies. As a result, they nurture fussy temper and cannot find a compromise to grasp other people’s limitations.
