SOCW 6200: Human Behavior and the Social Environment I
Discussion 1: Moral Development Theory and Bullying
Bullying is not a new phenomenon, but social media and communication technologies have introduced a breadth and depth to which public shaming, targeted taunting, and bullying have manifested. For this Discussion, consider how bullying has changed and how it has remained the same in light of modern technology.
Post
an explanation of one moral development theory and its connection to the act of bullying. Be sure to frame your explanation within the context of cyber and other bullying that persists in social media and communication technologies used by adolescents. Also explain how bullying has changed and how it has remained the same in light of modern technology. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer.
Discussion 2: Bullying: Cycle of Events
Bearing witness to trauma has its own set of consequences. Watching repeated episodes of bullying can evoke strong emotional and behavioral responses from an adolescent. During the impressionable stage of social development in adolescents, these experiences can contribute to a change in perception about the ways people should and do treat each other. Furthermore, ongoing exposure to this behavior can jeopardize an adolescent’s healthy social development. For this Discussion, consider how the act of bullying experienced by one adolescent may change the experience of another who witnesses it.
Post
a scenario that illustrates how bullying experienced by one adolescent may change the experience of another who witnesses it. Then address the availability of any social work intervention, skill, or practice that might change this cycle of events. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer.

Behavior and the Social Environment
of Laura’s, She detests going to church. Her parents have often
called her “stupid” and negatively compared her to her brother,
who they believe can do no wrong. This dispar-agement of
Laura has in many ways become a self-fulfilling prophecy. She
repeated a grade in elementary school, seldom studied, and
often received failing grades. In school, she saw herself as a
failure and hung out with other students who viewed themselves
as failures. In high school, she frequently skipped school and
partied. Eight weeks before graduation, she was expelled for
skipping too much school. Her parents and the school system
had tried numerous times to motivate Laura to apply herself in
school; she even had a number of individual sessions with three
different social workers and a psychiatrist. Laura’s parents are
especially irate when she leaves home for three or four days at a
time and parties in an abandoned house in the inner city of
Milwaukee. She has lied to her parents about her sexual
activities, when the truth is she has a variety of partners. For-
tunately, she is taking birth control pills; however, she does not
always use a condom to protect herself from sexually
transmitted diseases. Some of Laura’s male friends are putting
pressure on her to become a prostitute so that there will be more
5. money to buy drugs and party. Laura and her friends have had
several encounters with the police for shoplifting, running away
from home, drinking liquor under age, kicking police officers
while being arrested, and driving in high-speed auto chases
after radar detected they were speeding. Laura is asking herself
a number of questions: Should she prostitute herself? Or should
she stop associating with her friends and try to make peace with
her parents by getting a high school education and a better-
paying job? Whenever she has tried to achieve the middle-class
goals of her parents, they have criticized her as being a failure.
She won-ders what her chances are of heading in a better
direction this time. The one thing she has found enjoyable in
life is partying with her friends, but she realizes her friends are
getting her in trouble with the police. She is worried that
cutting ties with her friends will result in living a life in which
she will be continually rejected and put down by others. She
wants a better-paying job but realizes her chances are not good,
especially because she hasn’t completed high school. She wants
a one-to-one relationship with a caring male, but because she
has a low self-concept, the only thing she feels that males will
find attrac-tive about her is sexual intercourse. This is one
reason she has had multiple sex partners. She is increasingly
concerned that being so sexually active is not right and may
result in her acquiring a sexually transmitted disease (such as
AIDS). What should she do about all of these concerns? She is
deeply perplexed and confused.

Perspective
This chapter will focus primarily on the social changes and
some social problems encoun-tered by adolescents. The social
6. growth from puberty to age 19 involves a number of passages:
from being dependent on parents to becoming more
independent, from adjust-ing to puberty to establishing a sexual
identity, from beginning to date to serious dating and perhaps
marrying, from being a child with parents to sometimes
parenting children, from earning money from babysitting to
having a full-time job or attending college, from buying
baseball gloves and playing ball to buying a car, and from
drinking soda to drinking beer and hard liquor and
experimenting with drugs. The pressures and stresses of this
time period produce many casualties who suffer from a variety
of problems.
