Abstract
This paper is concerned with the social ills of bullying and cyberbullying that might lead to suicide especially when adolescents are involved. First, the author explains the two concepts. It is noted that people with monoamine oxidase-A (MAOA) have a propensity to antisocial behaviour and that they cannot relieve themselves of responsibility for their conduct. We all need to think of the consequences of our actions, and we need to ensure that internet abusers are held accountable for their wrongdoing. It is argued that parental responsibility is paramount. Parents, and society at large, need to exhibit zero tolerance to bullying and cyberbullying. Parents need to take active steps to tackle both phenomena, and, in this context, healthy communication with children and other stakeholders is key for success. Disregard for consequences of both activity and inactivity when facing all forms of bullying is immoral.
本文关注欺凌和网络欺凌可能导致自杀的社会弊病,特别是当青少年参与其中时。首先,作者对这两个概念进行了解释。值得注意的是,患有单胺氧化酶- a (MAOA)的人有反社会行为的倾向,并且他们不能减轻自己对自己行为的责任。我们都需要考虑我们行为的后果,我们需要确保互联网滥用者对他们的不法行为负责。有人认为父母的责任是最重要的。家长和整个社会需要对欺凌和网络欺凌表现出零容忍。家长需要采取积极措施来解决这两种现象,在这种情况下,与儿童和其他利益攸关方的健康沟通是成功的关键。在面对各种形式的欺凌时,无视活动和不活动的后果是不道德的。
