3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV

Issue #164, 29th August 2023

Bullies use violence in 3 ways 1. Political violence to intimidate 2. Physical violence to terrorize 3. Mental/Emotional violence to undermine.

What is your attitude towards oppression when you feel it on yourself when you see it on others? Bullying may happen to you as parents and teachers in the workplace and with students in schools and institutions while growing up. I have done workshops and discussions with many of you in person and virtually on various aspects of understanding bullying, tackling bullies and most definitely not being a bully yourself.

What ticks you off? and what makes you tick? what makes you rise up and when do you collapse? when are you strong, formidable, and indomitable in spirit and what weakens your spirit? When is it alright for you as a person to give in and when do you think you should stand up whether for a cause or a person?

Two Thoughts of the Week:

“When you’re nice, you’re not bullying people. But when you’re kind, you stand up against the bully.”

– Daniel Lubetzky

“The solution to putting an end to bullying is to stop it at the source but also to find out what is causing the person to behave the way that they do.”

– Hunter King

One Video of the Week:
