Is it conflict or is it bullying?
Conflict is a disgreement or a difference of opinion or interests between
equals. The people involved in a conflict may disagree vehemently and
emotions may run high. When conflict is badly managed, it may result in
agression. In a conflict, both parties have power to influence the
situation. That is their goal. conflict may be an inevitable part of group
dynamics, but bullying is not. In each, a different response is required.
When the elements that characterize bullying are present in a situation
where
there is aggression, conflict resolution is not a recommended response.
Characteristics of a bullying situation include:
-an imbalance of power;
-the intent to harm;
-worsens with repetition over time;
-the distress of the individual being bullied, often including fear or
terror;
-enjoyment of the effects on the individual being bullied by the person
(people) doing the bullying;
-the threat-implicit or explicit of further agression.
