...Swansong was choreographed by Christopher Bruce in 1987 for the London Festival Ballet (now called English National Ballet). It lasts 32 minutes and is a work for three dancers, consisting of two interrogators or guard and a victim or prisoner. The original cast was all-male, but was later performed by all-female cast and a mixed gender cast. However, the two guards cannot be of the same gender while the victim is of the opposite gender, as it would suggest a gender issue rather than a political oppression. Moving on, ‘Amnesty International’ was a main stimulus. The piece intends to describe the situation of a person coming from one country, being imprisoned in another due to policy/law differences on treatment and conditions. The Amnesty organisation aims to keep the living conditions of those prisoners at a particular standard. Furthermore, the novel “A man” by Oriana Fallaci and saying ‘goodbye’ to a career as a dancer were also significant stimuli. The recorded music was composed by Phillip Chambon, commissioned by London Festival Ballet. The designer again, was Christopher Bruce and the lighting was designed by David Mohr. Christopher Bruce designed Swansong’s setting on a bare proscenium stage, which leads the audience’s focus on the movement without any visual distractions. Dull colours are used to create the mood and atmosphere of being in a cell. The backdrop is black, showing that the cell-like stage is small, leaving the prisoner feeling trapped and claustrophobic...

...Relations Theory (IRT). His co-author Barry Buzan felt similarly after his various work in and around Asia led him to realise how little asia-specific IRT development was taking place. Acharya and Buzan stipulate their overall purpose as that of stimulating “non-Western voices to bring their historical and cultural, as well as their intellectual, resources into the theoretical debates about IR”. Their opening (and decidedly founding) question is ‘What is the possibility of a non-Western IRT in Asia?’ which they answer through a critical examination of their collective findings. It is important to note that they stipulated forcefully within their discussion the important note: “We are not....concerned with identifying or advocating an Asian school of IR......which would involve constructs (Asian values, Asian Way etc.)....which are problematic because of the generalisations they involve...” To answer their main question the essay is divided into two main parts:(1) ‘Why is there an absence of non-Western IRT in Asia?”;(2) “Is Non-Western IRT possible in Asia.” Part (1): Acharya and Buzans main argument in this section revolves around five hypotheses upon which their...

...Cody Robbins Professor Edmunds English 51 WA 4 Throwing Punches Online Children from the 80’s and back only know of abuse from the oppressor in his/her own schools. Whether the bully gave you a “weggy” or a “swirly”, neither was fun nor something you forget. Only way to get away from him/her is to hide or go home, but the children cannot hide any longer. They deal with the bullies everywhere now, including the social media’s. Can you remember the school yard jingle that went, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"? Obviously that was not and is not the truth. In 2013, the death of Rebecca Ann Sedwick, a 12-year-old 7th grader who took her life in Polk County, Florida, proves that words are capable of harming vulnerable young children. Both physical and nonphysical forms can and do happen anywhere in the school, on the way to and from school, and even online. "Over 13 million American kids will be bullied this year, making it the most common form of violence experience by young people in the nation," (Hirsch, 2011 BULLY, Motion Picture, Weinstein Company). These problems are not just the schools issue, but the parents as well.” Yet because so many horrified parents are bewildered by the technology, they think they are helpless to address the problem it engenders,” (p.32) but this is deceitful, for there is always a way. According to the FBI, "Bullying remains one of the largest problems in schools, with the percentage of students reportedly...

...Stockstill English 0900 20 Fall 2011 Child Abuse And Bulling All abuse is violent, whether it’s physical, emotional, verbal, or psychological. I feel child abuse turns into the child becoming a bully, and bullying to someone committing suicide. The abuser is usually an individual who has high anxiety and has not learned to deal with it like others. Most people would disagree or argue that child abusers can be AND are bullies. I think you are what you see. These kids grow up in abusive homes with no one to turn to for guidance. Tim Field, a prominent British anti-bullying activist, states, "Being bullied by a serial bully is equivalent to being stalked or being battered by a partner or being abused as a child and should be accorded the same gravity." He saying child abuse and bullying have the same consequences as someone getting beat to death. Being abused as a child can result in negative behavior in the future. You either turn into a bully or look at the negative and turn it to a positive. Look at your situation and help someone else from going through what you have. Field founded the UK National Workplace Bullying Advice Line and also wrote and published a book, Bully In Sight based on his own experiences. I think when a child is bullied they were a victim of a violent parent, a close family member, or a friend. Whatever the case may have been, research study done by Melissa Holt, showed that out of 700 fifth grade students 14% were bullies, 12% were victims, 8% bully-victims...

Student: English 135 Letter to the editor 7/9/14 School Bullies I’m writing in reply to Maureen Downey’s “Is the intense focus on bullying in schools changing kids or overloading them?” feature of the Atlanta Journal Constitution’s guest blog. Lately parents have to worry about their children safety while they’re in school, tell me this, what good are the administrations, if they can’t do a simple thing, like protecting the students? Bukhari definition of bullying, “Bullying is an abuse of power that takes the form of ongoing aggression involving words or actions by individuals or groups. And directed towards particular victims who are unable to defend themselves”. From my point of view as a victim I think that there should be more penalty toward school bullies. Their victims suffer a lot of humiliation and there got to be an end to this misery. I strongly agree with you when said “No child should have to live with daily harassment or torment at school”. Bullying is becoming widespread within the school systems all over the world. First, is Bullying is becoming widespread within the school systems? Children are afraid of attending school because they are afraid of being beat, tease, and humiliated.

...Bully is something that happened to be a normal part of a school life. People do not seem to realize that bully is physically and mentality harmful to both the victim and the bully. Bully issues happened once in my life and it had made me a stronger and a more attentive person. Previously, I was just a shy and an introverted girl, who don’t talk much in school. I always tend to keep quiet and sit at a side, trying to avoid teachers from calling my name in class. During lower primary school, everything was great. Things were running smoothly. But when it came to my fourth grade, things had changed. I remembered I was standing in the middle of the canteen, gripped my lunch tightly trying to squeeze myself to a seat. “Excuse me....sorry......” I said politely. Tried so hard to squeeze in but I failed and ended up standing helplessly. Out of nowhere, a gang of boys came towards me. I was scared and started to shiver in the inside. A tall boy, Ron, who was hunching his back strolled and stood in front of me. He stepped on my foot vigorously and gave me a wicked smile, while the his friends behind him snickered at me. I was shocked and I did not know what to do. Only thing that I thought was to finish my lunch quickly and get back to class. Surprisingly, my class teacher passed by the canteen. Looking at her as she walked by, wished to run up to her and tell her about the boys, but my heart controlled me from doing that. I was too coward and too afraid to do it. The same...

...OLU Lawal English 101 Section 0203 The Bully and the School Having the chance to wake up every weekday and go to school is an opportunity 121 million children around the world lack (Shah, "Poverty Facts and Stats”). On the other hand, the overwhelming majority of the children in the United States, and other First World countries, have access to educational resources. Yet, around 160,000 children in the United States alone miss school because of bullying (Phoenix & Honda, “Our children Faces a Bullying Epidemic”). Since most bullying takes place at school, it is imperative that these schools take actions by implementing anti-bullying policies into their school code of conduct. The schools are primarily responsible for reducing bullying among students and must seek effective solutions to this growing problem. Bullying would not be such a huge problem if school officials stepped up and started intervening. But how can they intervene when many cannot even recognize signs of bullying, or have not been trained on how to properly handle the situation? If not handled correctly, it can worsen and create more issues for the victims. In a survey done by Frank Barone, principal of Amsterdam High School New York, teachers believed approximately 16% of students are bullied victims (Barone,80). Barone also surveyed students, 58% of whom revealed that they are bullied victims. He found three core reasons as to why teachers and faculty members do not recognize bullying. First, the teachers...

...grade is either a bully or has been a victim of bullying.” Consistent bullying has short term and long term effects on children. We, as a people, need to help prevent bullying. By educating ourselves and being more aware, we can prevent this violent act against children. There are various types of bullying, verbal, physical, and cyber, that are affecting our children today. While some argue that words do not hurt, others contend that words are the basis for verbal bullying. The definition of verbal bullying, as defined by Bullying Statistics, is “to degrade and demean the victim, while making the aggressor look dominant and powerful.” The bully’s main focus is to put the victim in a situation where they are less powerful. Based on a survey rendered to a Developmental English class, 75 percent say that “Verbal bullying is the most predominant type of bullying that they have witnessed or been the subject of.” Verbal bullying can be hard to catch or identify, due to the lack of evidence. Verbal bullying includes things such as name calling and harassment about their sexuality, race, disability, or weight. Name calling is, sometimes, perceived to be teasing, not bullying. It is bullying, if the victim takes offense to it. Persistent name calling and harassment can lead to other forms of bullying, like physical. Contrary to the old saying, “Boys will be boys” physical bullying is real. Physical bullying affects all people involved and not involved. It affects the bully, and the victim...

...In English my name means someone who is wise and honorable. According to the Biblical references, my name means judgment of God. In Chinese, my name means lucky family. My Chinese name was chosen by my wise grandparents. My English name was chosen by my parents from a movie. Daniel is also the name of the main character of The Karate Kid, Daniel LaRusso. In this movie, Daniel moves to a new city and being the new kid in town, he gets bullied by a gang of tough students from the local karate school. Daniel befriends a Japanese handy-man, Mr Miyagi who is the janitor at his apartment block. He is later trained by him & taught the ancient art of kung fu & eastern philosophy which he uses to overcome the bullies. My name is Daniel because of that main character. I am like that person because I was also bullied when I was in elementary school. Although I like kung fu, I did not learn it to overcome my bully problem. I do not wish to be like Daniel LaRusso because I do not think that violence is the solution to our problems. People have responded to my name as if it were an original name and as if there were too many Daniels in the world. When people say my name, they make it sound plain and not unique at all. So instead of calling me Daniel, I ask them to call me Dan or Danny. A little variation helps make my name more unique. A nickname I would like would be a nickname that makes mean important person. Something with power that people would obey me by. A nickname like...

According to me, School uniforms may affect the student’s right to self express to a little extent but it helps students accomplish the main motive of going to school that is learning. Although requiring students to wear school uniforms may violate their self-expression in some ways, a uniform is supposed to be looked upon as a positive thing and should not be banned because uniform act as a Discipline maker, combine economic and social classes together as well as act as helps to eliminate bullying.
