"STOP ONLINE BULLYING... The Universal Message of Solidarity"

The third humanitarian initiative - Norway 2020
"STOP ONLINE BULLYING... The Universal Message of Solidarity"
Bullying happens to everyone, stoppable by everyone. 
What is Bullying? 
Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical power, which distinguishes bullying from conflict. Behaviors used to assert such domination can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion, and such acts may be directed repeatedly towards particular targets. Rationalizations of such behavior sometimes include differences of social class, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, appearance, behavior, body language, personality, reputation, lineage, strength, size, or ability. If bullying is done by a group, it is called mobbing. 
Perhaps one of the most important types of bullying that we suffer from is Online bullying. 
Online bullying is bullying carried out through the internet or mobile devices. 
Online bullying is also sometimes called cyber bullying. 
Online bullying can include the: 
sending insulting or threatening messages 
posting unkind messages or inappropriate images on social networking sites 
excluding others from online chats or other communication 
inappropriate image tagging 
sharing someone's personal or embarrassing information online 
creating hate sites or starting social exclusion campaigns on social networking sites 
sharing unflattering or private images, including naked or sexual images 
assuming the identity of another person online and representing them in a negative manner or manner that may damage their relationship with others 
repeatedly, and for no strategic reason, attacking players in online gaming.
