You know.....when you observe children in a playground there are always a few that will pick out a kid who perhaps wears glasses, or has large ears, or maybe is in some way dressed differently to the majority, and they will bully that child, or call him names or laugh at him. In adulthood similarly there are always some who will try to do down those who they consider to be different to their own perceived norm.
Why are some people like this? Is it in the genes to establish a pecking order as do animals? The animal instinct that makes chicks in a nest push the smallest weakest one out, so the remainder will have more food, and therefore a better chance of survival? The instinct that alpha wolves have to dominate their pack? Is this what bullying is all about?
I suspect it is! What do you think, and how can we solve it?
