Restoring Safe School Communities: a whole school response to bullying,violence and alienation introduces a whole school approach to addressing the problems of bullying and violence in schools. Author Brenda Morrison proposes a continuum of responsive and restorative practices for building safe school communities. The first, most proactive, level of practices aims to develop all students' social and emotional competencies, to enable students to resolve their differences in caring and respectful ways. The second level of practices widens the circle of care around the participants. Typically this level of response occurs when the problem has become more protracted or has involved (and affected) a larger number of people, and involves other members of the school community stepping in to assist in the resolution of the conflict or concern. The third and final level of practices involves the participation of an even wider cross-section of the school community, including parents, guardians, social workers, and others who have been affected. This tertiary level of intervention is normally only used for serious incidents within the school. Morrison explains the thinking behind the suggested responses and shows how they can be implemented by practices such as a responsible citizen program and restorative justice circles and conferences.

Socio-political thesis explores the effects of politically induced neo-liberal anxiety on White Australian society. 'White paranoia' is placed in the context of such contemporary events as the Tampa situation, border protection, mandatory detention of asylum seekers, delayed reconciliation with the Aborigines, and Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party. Promotes the notion of a 'caring society' that generates citizens who support and nurture each other. Author teaches Anthropology at the University of Sydney and has also written 'Arab-Australians Today: Citizenship and Belonging' and 'White Nation: Fantasies of White Supremacy in a Multicultural Society'.

'THOSE WHO TELL STORIES RULE SOCIETY.'' PLATO.... So who today are our principal storytellers? Not philosophers, but filmmakers. For those who know both the enormous entertainment potential and the culture-shaping power of film, this book will stir mind and imagination. For great stories freight world-sized ideas, ideas worthy of contemplation and conversation. Great cinema inspires wonder. But another philosopher, Aristotle, reminds us that wonder is the true source of philosophy. So perhaps Plato or Aristotle might have a shot at ruling society, even today - if they took an interest in film. These fourteen essays offer wonderful reflection on classic and contemporary films following several major philosophical themes, all within the context of Christian faith: the human condition, the human mind and the nature of knowing, the moral life, and faith and religion. Citizen Kane, Big Fish, Pretty Woman, Legends of the Fall and The Bridges of Madison County contribute to an in-depth consideration of the human condition. The Truman Show, The Matrix, Being John Malkovich and It's a Wonderful Life, among others, illuminate reflection on the human mind and the nature of knowing. Looking at the moral life, contributors interact with such notable films as Pleasantville, Bowling for Columbine, Mystic River and The Silence of the Lambs. The final section pursues the theme of faith and religion traced through a number of Hong Kong martial arts films, Contact, 2001: A Space Odyssey and U2's music documentary, Rattle and Hum. A veritable film festival for all those who want to nurture the wonder of philosophical inquiry and the love of Christian theology through an engagement with big ideas on the big screen.

Vordiplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Psychologie - Sozialpsychologie, Note: 2,0, Universität Lüneburg, 9 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird das Thema aggressives Verhalten bei Kindern und Jugendlichen erörtert. Es geht dabei vor allem um die Frage, warum Kinder und Jugendliche zu aggressiven Verhalten neigen und zur Gewalt greifen. Bezüglich sozialpsychologischer und klinischpsychologischer Untersuchungen können Theorien und Klassifikationen aufgestellt werden. Diese Erklärungsansätze sollen im Einzelnen vorgestellt werden. Aggressivität ist ein Phänomen, was immer tiefer in unsere Gesellschaft dringt. In soziologischen Betrachtungen können wir Aggressivität als Potential von Macht und Herrschaft definieren. Nur wer Macht hat, kann aggressiv auftreten. Die Psychologie sieht in der Aggressivität Defizite, die auf frühste Erfahrungen im Kindesalter bauen. Das bedeutet vor allem, dass die Tendenz zu aggressiven Verhalten abhängig von der Erziehung ist. Die Erziehung hier versteht sich als ein Prozess der Sozialisation, in dem nicht nur die Eltern Einfluss auf das Kind haben, sondern auch im weiteren Sinne die Peers. Äußerliche Einflussfaktoren spielen also eine ganz entscheidende Rolle. Es ist nicht mehr der Erwachsene, der zur Waffe greift, um sich zu verteidigen, wie es einmal üblich war. In der Evolutionsgeschichte Darwins wird aggressives Verhalten als Überlebenssicherung verstanden, als Instinkthandeln. Der Mann ging auf die Jagd, um seine Familie zu versorgen, der Angreifer wurde bekämpft, um die Familie zu schützen. Wo aber begegnet uns heute aggressives Verhalten? Nicht mehr ist es der Beschützer- und Versorgungsinstinkt. Es sind oftmals Rache- und Frustrationsgründe. Für das Jahr 1997 geben die Statistiken in Deutschland 186.447 Fälle von Mord, Totschlag oder körperliche Gewalt an. Die Zahlen für andere europäische Länder sind vergleichbar und für die Vereinigten Staaten liegen sie sogar noch höher (Mummendey, aus: Stroebe, S. 354). Erschreckend diese Statistik. Umso eindringlicher erscheint die Frage nach dem „Warum“. Erinnert werden soll noch einmal an den 20. April 1999 als die beiden 16-jährigen Eric Harris und Dylan Klebold an jenem Morgen das Klassenzimmer der Columbine High School in Littleton in Colorado betraten und das schlimmste Massaker der amerikanischen Schulgeschichte verüben, bei dem 12 Schüler und ein Lehrer den Tod finden...und sie anschließend die Waffe auf sich selbst richten...

Ten years in the works, a masterpiece of reportage, this is the definitive account of the Columbine massacre, its aftermath, and its significance, from the acclaimed journalist who followed the story from the outset. "The tragedies keep coming. As we reel from the latest horror . . ." So begins a new epilogue, illustrating how Columbine became the template for nearly two decades of "spectacle murders." It is a false script, seized upon by a generation of new killers. In the wake of Newtown, Aurora, and Virginia Tech, the imperative to understand the crime that sparked this plague grows more urgent every year. What really happened April 20, 1999? The horror left an indelible stamp on the American psyche, but most of what we "know" is wrong. It wasn't about jocks, Goths, or the Trench Coat Mafia. Dave Cullen was one of the first reporters on scene, and spent ten years on this book-widely recognized as the definitive account. With a keen investigative eye and psychological acumen, he draws on mountains of evidence, insight from the world's leading forensic psychologists, and the killers' own words and drawings-several reproduced in a new appendix. Cullen paints raw portraits of two polar opposite killers. They contrast starkly with the flashes of resilience and redemption among the survivors. Expanded with a New Epilogue

In the first in-depth study of Moore's feature-length documentary films, editors Thomas W. Benson and Brian J. Snee have gathered leading rhetoric scholars to examine the production, rhetorical appeals, and audience reception of these films. Contributors critique the films primarily as modes of public argument and political art. Each essay is devoted to one of Moore's films and traces in detail how each film invites specific audience responses.
