Digg it UP - Bullying vs. Harassment
There are two basic types of tax-free college savings plans, the Coverdell educational savings account and the 529 savings account. Each has advantages and disadvantages depending on the situation of the individual family.529 college savings plans allow parents, and in some cases grandparents and other family members, to contribute tax-deferred money to a savings account earmarked for college. The money gains tax-free interest and there is no tax assessed on the principle if it is withdrawn to cover eligible college expenses. The current tax rules will be in effect until 2010, but even if Congress does not reauthorize that section of the tax code, tax will still only be applied to the earnings on the account
STAT: According to Voices for Children (2002), 60% of boys who were nominated as bullies in grades 6 to 9 had at least one court conviction by age 24; 35% to 40% had three or more convictions compared to 10% for the control group of non-bullying boys.
Criminality statistics show us that there is a bullying behaviour continuum. Unchecked bullying turns into harassment when the child becomes an adolescent. Then the adolescent starts dating and relationship violence begins. When the adolescent becomes an adult and enters the workforce, workplace harassment begins. When the adult gets married, spousal abuse begins. When the adult has children, child abuse beg
Typically you should not e-mail any proposal unless you have reviewed it with the prospect first. I know with today's technology it's easy to send proposals in this fashion, however a proposal loses much of its value if we as sales people don't present the information in a convincing way. That being said, if you do review the proposal with them over the phone or in person and then e-mail/hand over the proposal to them typically you will be asking a trial close trying to get them to either object to it or buy it. If they indicate that the proposal is fine but they need to "talk with other decision makers" or need to "think about it" then ask them when will they be making the final decision on the proposal. Call them
Bullying describes behaviours between children under the age of 12 that is offensive, cruel, intimidating, or humiliating. Bullying is not normal aggression between very young children.
For the most part, harassment is the adult term for bullying.
Bullying is a relationship issue, while harassment is a human rights issue.
Harassment is a form of discrimination that can be based on any of the following:
- age
- race
- colour
- religion
- disability
- sex/gender
- sexual orientation
- national or ethnic origin
- family status
- marital status
- pardoned conviction
In Canada, harassment is dealt with under human rights legislation and victims can charge the offender. Bullying is not dealt with under human rights legislation.
Both bullying and harassment have the potential to fall under the Criminal Code of Canada, if the law has been broken.
The significant factor in harassment is IMPACT not INTENT. Once the harasser becomes aware that his or her behaviour is offensive and unappreciated, either by being told or the body language of the other person or persons makes it clear that the comment or gesture is unwelcome, if the offensive behaviour continues, it becomes harassment.
POWER:
It is not possible to discuss bullying and harassment without talking about power. Examples of power:
- physical power: based upon physical strength or ability
- personality power: based upon gender, ethnic identity, age; with adolescents it comes in the form of physical appearance and personal presence
- positional power: based upon position of authority
- relational power: based upon status within the social system; with adolescents it comes in the form of popularity, money and/or talent
- connection power: based upon connections with people of influence
- organizational power: based upon specific authority, rights, and privileges as determined by a person's job description
- network power: based upon membership in both formal and informal networks
- expert power: based upon perception of expertise, skills and/or knowledge
- information power: based upon possession of information or ability to access information
- resource power: based upon ability to access human, educational, financial and technical resources
When a power imbalance exists between two people, that imbalance may result in bullying and harassing behaviour. Abuse of power is at the core of bullying and harassment.
Before anyone says bullying and harassment does not affect me, consider these criminality statistics:
STAT: According to a study done for National Resource Centre for Safe Schools (1999), bullies who have been identified by age 8 are six times more likely than others to be convicted of a crime by the time they reach the age of 24. They are five times more likely to end up with serious criminal records by age 30.

Correctly Pricing A Business Is Important If You Really Want To Sell It!As a consultant I talk to many business owners, brokers, and agents on a daily basis about valuing businesses. It always amazes me on how some of these individuals come up with the values on small businesses being sold. No wonder only 30% of all businesses sell! In many instances no consideration is given to the total picture – like will the available cash flow of the business be able to pay the debt of a loan, will the deal as structured or priced even be attractive to financing sources, "cash" price vs. "note" price and how these factors figure into the equation!I have seen many "professional valuations" where the price just doe

My silent fish tank was no more. Enough water had evaporated to make the filter gurgle. It was highly annoying and I knew I wouldn’t be at ease until it was silent again, so I filled the tank.Did I fill it to satisfy a want or a need? Does it really matter? Probably not.The gurgling tank was an unacceptable problem that required a solution: more water. I was able to solve the problem on my own. If it had turned out that my fish tank gurgled because my filter was broken I would have needed a new filter.Filters Don’t Flow from My Tap Where would I get a filter? How would I decide where to shop first?There is a pet store chain in New York City that has been advertising its busin

Insurance adjusters are not without outside pressures they must deal with every day of their work life. It would be advantageous for all readers to be aware of the most important of these because they could put money in your bank.The first of these is your State Department Of Insurance. Every state has a Department, or Commissioner, or Bureau of Insurance that overseas the antics of all Insurance Claims Adjusters and their superiors in that particular state. Each has a Consumer Complaint Division. If the adjuster you’ve been dealing with has refused to make any offer at all, has engaged in what you consider to be unethical conduct, or has made what you believe to be a ridiculously low offer, you have cause f

When the adult gets married, spousal abuse begins. When the adult has children, child abuse begins. And as the adult ages and his/her parents also age, elder abuse begins.
If we as a society do not intervene with bullying, if we continue to operate under the myth that bullying is a part of growing up, as the bullies get older their crimes will escalate. Society will then be dealing not only with the cost of incarcerating the offenders, but with the human, financial and economic cost of the support services that will be required for our most vulnerable groups: women, children and the elderly.
