Cards (3)

  • Craig et al
    a survey of bullying behaviours with over 200000 11-15 year olds in 40 countries.
    The nature of bullying varied but it was present in every culture.
    Boys were more likely to be bullies and victims in all cultures
  • Bullying existing in all cultures suggest its due to innate forces
  • The causes of bullying are deep in human nature,its not possible to test its true as we cant go back into the past.
    Instead we draw conclusions that fighting must have happened in our evolutionary past
