Need to write a sociology research paper about Bullying!

For my sociology class, I need to write about Bullying and have a question that you can't answer yes or no to. I'll have to provide facts instead. What is a good question and thesis for Bullying? Thanks

Greetings!

I can think of a few that might work for you. "What effect does divorce have on whether childrend are more likely to engage in bullying?" Or, "Which types of bullying education programs in schools result in a reduction of the incidence of bullying?" Or, "What warning signs should educators and parents be aware of in order to reduce the likelihood of bullying behaviors in children?"

I hope this helps get you started!

Thanks,

school yard bullying is well evident in our society - how to approach this topic?

Our task is: Write an essy on a point of view in response to the issue about "Schoolyard Bullying"
We have been given two articles
One is about the recent actions taken by the Government to protect victims and basically talks about dealing with bullying.
Other article is on the Casey Heynes incident

My contention is that school yard bullying is well evident in our society and that the current generation does not know how to deal with it.

What I have planned to do is
Intro
Para 1: Definition of Bullying, lead in to school environment and link to Casey heynes
Para 2: Talk about bullies and how they are "created" Using ritchie (the guy who got powerslammed ) as an example. Lead into negative effects of physical reactions to bullying.

Para 3: Explore how physical reactions to bullying is bad, use Casey Heynes case as an example
Para 4: Talk about alternatives to reacting physically and adults role in the situation. Use the lack of supervision in this case as an example
Conclusion

Any feedback would be really good

These are some of thó questions also worth answering:

what are psychological aftereffects both for bully and for victim?

what is the role of other students who observe such cases?

also how are victims 'created'?

oh yeah, thanks!
i'll make sure to add those :D
was my structure okay? the topic in being just "schoolyard bullying" was quite broad, so im worried about the relevance of my paragraphs in relation to it.

Hey there, your plan looks fine. I want to mention, though, that you should be flexible about it. When I write, I just write a few sentences about the main idea of an article. Then I do it again and again for a lot of articles. The paragraphs begin to take form, and they are like puzzle pieces on the screen. Use cut/paste to put them in a good order.

You can write an outline after you have written several paragraphs. Writing an outline ahead of time is a good way to give yourself "writer's block."

Anyway, I think you already wrote this paper. Did I see it in another thread?

I hope you have a lot of success! :-)
