hazing
In our society today, violence can hardly be ignored. Murder, rape, theft, and many other potentially violent crimes are committed like clockwork. Sad, enough, violence is in our human nature. As a young man, I can remember how cruel little kids, including myself, were. Senseless insults and physical abuse are almost normal growing up, no matter what your sex or economic and social background may be. It seems today that children know the concepts of hazing before they know what the word means. More specifically, hazing can be defined as “harassment by abusive and humiliating tricks” (The Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 327). Pinning down a fellow class-mate and giving him a “pink-belly”, throwing an unsuspecting teammate in the showers and whipping him with towels are events that take place in crowds of young and the older daily. Hazing can be harmless or potentially deadly. In some cases, hazing seems to be traditional. Fraternities, athletic teams, all have found hazing a normal practice since they were established. A question that may be on one’s mind is, “Where did hazing go wrong?” I will explain and give examples of hazing, where it has and does go wrong, and a call to action for violent hazing. Hazing seems apparent
