Fighting against the bullies


    •  5 Bad Ideas for Dealing With Bullies You Learned in Movies, and it was a bummer. Read the article and some of the other Cracked content. Do you think the blog site was right in presenting material that was outside of the type of content normally featured? Do you think there would be a better way to manage it? In your opinion, what is the responsibility of a site editorial team?
  • In the artilce of above; it explains how bullies are dealt with in the movies. However, does the same rules apply in the real world? In the most cases the anwser is no. Bullying is a real issue that affects a person phyical and mental state. In movies the hero always beats the bully in the end; no matter how bad the hero is bullied, the hero wil win. In the article it explains 5 ways to deal with bullys. These ideas work....in cinema. 
Tell a parent
  • When bullied, most kids go to their parents. In the movies the parents usually tells their kids to either ignore the bully or fight back. In the show Different Strokes; the character Arnold told his family that he's being bullied. After that his foster father signs him up for a self defense class. In the real world most parents would call the school instead of finding a way to fight back the bully.   
Fighting back with words
  • In shows or movies they often show the hero ignoring the bully, up until  they have a breaking point. the hero lashes out and yells at the bully. However, in reality the bully would beat the crap out of the person who talks back. In movies, it works but in the real world its better to be quiet.  
Running away.
  • In movies the hero is often in a situation where they have to run. the hero is runs away from the bull until the very end where he or she has no choice but to fight back. In the real world however, sometimes running can things more complicated . 


fighting back

  • In a TV show or movie, the ending the shows the hero beating the bull once and for all. The message of the movie or TV is if you fight back, they'll leave you alone. In reality the person getting bullied who fights back will often times get beaten up. While it is important to defend one's self, one should avoid unnecessary conflicts. If a person is being bullied and fights back, the bully will often times win, their trophy will be that person's ass in a plate. 
Aftermath
  • In a movie or TV show, the hero wins by killing or beating the bully. The story ends with the hero being triumphant on the dead body of the bully. If this were to happen in the real life, that person would go to court for murder. In the movies the town is thankful for the bully being beaten. In real life the police would be involve.
   In the cinema, real world situations play very well, not the other way of around.

  1. You didn't really answer the assignment. I didn't want a summary of the article, but rather an analysis of editorial responsibility when posting unlike materials in the same online forum.
