Minor Bullying, An argumentative essay

Our dynamic society has agreed that bullying in anyway form is condemned. However, cultural background and family's value in which someone's brought up may differ from person to person. The argumentative essay wish to address a practical approach of how opportunity and values may vary within a person a situation on a minor abuse cases that often being missed. While a minor may occur without anyone may have realized.

Being a scaleably responsible person may get yourself into a target of a minor bullying. For example, if you are in a shared house with a limited of 250MB per day per user you are expected to respect the guides and try not to exceed your monthly quota. One way is to install a download meter which will record all of your traffic and measure your daily, weekly and monthly download to keep you under the quota. However, the other housemate may refuse to install it with simple excuses that such as " I only use few hours a day" , or I do not download anything. But none realize that a 10 minutes of youtube is more than 50Mb of download. A page of new york times is nearly 500Kb, and a technology web or blog may be 1-2 Mb per load due to its high graphic and photos. By being scale able, you are capable of defending your right and stand when being questioned as long as a self obey his/her quota. However, the bully comes when there is a sudden jump in the use of download on a particular day. Just because you're the only person who responsibly "scale" your usage, you're being the ONLY target of the investigation/quiry while others enjoys QUO status of "I do not think I use that much because I think I am a light user".

Secondly, cultural intimacy may also encourage minor bullying. To follow up with the previous example, it is assumed that your housemate is a person who has a similar cultural background.He/she can be a friend, family, colleague or spouse. A similar parameter is introduced where a home with a download quota and a particular day of a jump in useage. Due to your cultural intimacy, the other party may easily start the investigation and accusation from YOU. This may due to the relevant party's inability to enquire others fairly without feeling to offend them. For example, if the other housemates is from korea, the investigating party who is from china will be more comfortable to accuse the other chinese housemate FIRST because of cultural intimacy that they may have. Hoping that the chinese housemate is the relevant suspect and so to save the efford to enquire the other housemate. If the chinese housemate starts from korean housemate and it could not prove it, he/she may offend the korean depending on how the investigation process run. However, unfortunately on this case and parameter, after accusing the "culturally intimate" housemate and proven wrong, the investigation STOPs(does not continue) due to the party's inability in intercultural communication.
Further, due to the other's korean's housemate unwillingness to scale their useage, the primary party cannot argue on the issue.

The conclusion on the case study is that being a responsible person and to scale your useage of quota may encourage the possibility of you being the target of bully. Coupled with the cultural intimacy of the primary investigating party, the maginitude of the possibility is enormous. This is often due to cultural hesitation and incapable of proving scale of useage they may have which boost their advantage.

As a suggestive measure, it is recommended to keep your logbook of useage clean and tidy. This will help to prevent an escalating tention that may arise from the initial minor bullying. Secondly, it is advised to a primary investigating party to be sincere and accountable while realizing that a minor bully may have occur although he/she may not realize.
