[Audio] What is Bullying? Bullying has been defined as a repeated aggressive behavior for which one person, or a few people, purposely abuses, intimidates, or coerces an individual (or group of individuals) in order to hurt that person both physically and mentally. This kind of behavior has impacted much of the U.S. population. There are two types of bullying: direct bullying and indirect bullying..

[Audio] Direct Bullying Direct bullying includes behaviors that are both obvious and easy to notice by others. However, the identity of the person causing the destructive behavior is usually confirmed. Some examples of bullying include: 1. pushing, 2. kicking, 3. calling names, and 4. excluding others from any communal activities..

[Audio] Indirect Bullying Indirect bullying is defined as the repetitive, negative use of actions, (neither of which are physical or verbal in any way, shape, or form), to purposely hurt others by spreading lies, rumors, intentionally excluding others from social activities, committing robbery or damage to other people's property, or, to a great extent, cyberbullying..

[Audio] Situation Most of the bullying comes from primary and middle school years of education, but it occurs the least during the high school years of education. Bullying has become a major concern for, not only the youth who have been bullied and the bully, but also those around who have seen this behavior happen in their eyes. Some short-term effects of bullying include: 1.) school refusal, 2.) lower academic achievement, 3.) having low self-esteem, 3.) or PTSD symptoms (which can often carry on into later life and being triggered by events like making occasional visits to their old school when they grow older (to describe a few)..

[Audio] Research After conducting intensive research, a Stomp Out Bullying Corporation Founder and CEO Ross Ellis was walking down the street and saw 2 teenage boys talking about a terrorist in their school. She had asked them about this and said that the classmate was a terrorist because he wore a turban. She told them that people wear turbans because of their culture and that did not mean that they were terrorists. That is when Ross Ellis introduced the National Culture Week..

[Audio] Objectives Research found out that the first step for the Stomp Out Bullying corporation to bring cultures together in order to stop bullying was to plan a "Culture Shock" livestream Culture Week Panel. The main objective is to discuss why it is important to accept the world around us and to respect and share each other's diverse cultural backgrounds and experiences..

[Audio] Strategies The Stomp Out Bullying Manifesto has always been an organization for kindness. Although the problems they tackle may have changed over the past decade, their passion has never been cast away. This organization works so that youth can stand tall and be respected. With their help, youth are more respectful, schools are more inclusive, communities are more equal, and society has more unity; so that a community of cruelty can become a community of civility. They devote themselves to breaking the barriers, to give voice to the voiceless, give belonging to those who are feeling left out, welcome diversity and inclusivity, work shoulder to shoulder as a union, empower the fearful to be fearless in the pursuit, and to find answers to change the culture for the better..

[Audio] Calendar The National Culture Week dates around the third and fourth weeks of April yearly in the United States. In 2023, the National Cultural week took place from April 22nd to April 26th. 1. Students, teachers, and staff from registered schools are invited to join the virtual panel. 2.
