Since the beginning of time, individuals have hurt, insulted and put each other down. Sometimes groups put other groups down, and sometimes just individuals go after each other. Where do you think the root cause(s) of mistreating one another lie? Why do some people want to control others? Why is it important for some individuals to think of themselves as better than others?

I think people put each other down because, they are ensecure with them selves or could have problems at home.
albertpujols, can you give us a specific example(s) to illustrate what you say?
Like maybe if you see your parents constantly putting each other down and not supporting the other, you learn to communicate with others in that way. Maybe you never really learn to think about the way others feel or see things OR how they are different because the way your parents act teaches you not to care.
People that are not possitive and confident of themselves try to find ways of feeling better about themselves. such as making fun of others or picking on others (most likely people that are not confident of themselves and are quiet and also smaller than the size of the bulley. Some examples that problems at home could affect a child is, holding that anger in and the person with problems at home will try to get the anger out my picking on others and using making fun of others to make themselves feel better about the problem. Both of these example still end in the same result which would be making fun of others or putting people down. No matter how many assemblies you have or how many times you tell someone no to bully others, there will still be people who put people down and there is no changing it sadly. But the question that I have is, are people that make fun of others or bully are they victims as well as the person getting bullied? Also what are somethings that we could do to stop bulling and picking on others?...
Yes, I would agree with Exaybachay because I think alot of things that your parents do or who ever you look up to makes a strong part of you for better or for worst. Many kids that have a parent that makes bad choices the child is liable to make bad choices as well. These wrong decisions of parents affect children drastically. For example if there is a parent that is an alcoholic, alcohol tends to make some people mean and abusive but i guess the point is the child can be ethier neglected or aboused or both.
I agree with what 's being said here. But there are things we can't let go unnoticed. Ever since humanity has existed, it has threatened each other, weather or not its intentional is another story, but it is true none the less. With threat comes recoil and revenge, and when people feel threatened, they have to prove to either their selves, or others that they're prevailing through the occurrence of a threatening position. Success, control, and jealousy play large role in this ongoing "problem." Success being a form of jealousy kindling, and also being the form of prevailation aforementioned. Control being the feeling people seek when they aim low at a person's feelings, taking hits at their soft points, and their self-consciousness. Which to be honest, everyone has, Me being one of them. Its no wonder the human race has become hostile, a prime example being the American people. Its just a matter of time before we lose contact from society, and give up our hope on becoming as united as our image. In thinking of all of this, and in our discussion, it should be our goal, and more or less job as the young Americans to start a movement against the hostility, putting down and belittling each other. Continuous civil war never united a nation. Take initiative, and take the lead in a movement against all of this.
WOW!!!!! Knowthescore put exactly what i feel about this subject into words. Great blog, you really do have great writing.
To some people it's just abad habit. These people hurt each other out of pride. The make themselves look good or feel important by putting someone else down. People who do this are either insecure or very weak, sometimes even both. To cope, they put someone else down to gain self-confidence. I don't even think that's possible.
People in the world are all jealous of someone else. Don't lie and say you haven't been jealous, I'm sure we all have had jealousy for one another. You could be nice to them one minute and hate them the next. Noone likes to see some one ahead of them, I'll admit that I don't.
I agree with what everyone is saying. Problems at home are a big provider in insecurity and I know that those kinds of people would do anything to cope with it. I also agree with the fact that your
superiors have an effect on how you act. Maybe they didnt't have a perfect childhood either. All im tryign to say is dont worry about comparing yourself to others, just stay concerned with yourself.
hey i just got in on this but you all have great answers,and you all are right and we dont need to put people down. it seems like a lot of work to me.
Like what people have said on here, i also think people put each other down because their insecure. I also think that some people do it just because its part of their personality. For example, Tom from the book was incredibly mean to people but it didnt seem like there was any reason for him to be. I think some people do it just because there a sociopath. Some people may do it because they think it makes them look cool. This may be a little off subject but something else i find is wierd is how how people make fun of things about people that should be good thing. Like when people make fun of the kids that are really smart.
yeahh i agree with everyone on here..
i think the main reason people put other people down is because their so insecure about themselves that they dont know what else to do.
they think it'll make them feel better but it just creates more enemies for them and on top of that it makes the person their putting down feel bad about themselves.. the one thing i dont understand is if you feel bad about yourself and your insecure.. why would you want to make another person feel like that when you actually know how it feels?? i dont understand the concept of making fun of people because everyone has their differences and their flaws. what would the world be if everyone was the same?
Yes the world would be pretty boring with no differences. I have lately been thinking about what its like being made fun before i call someone a name of make fun of them and that tends to help me not make fun of others.
I disagree with what pandaexpress said about don't compare yourself with others. I think it is good to do that so that you become great full of how you are treated and what you have.
I think we can stand against people putting others down by, sticking up for others when you see them being put down.
I think people put each other down because, they like to bully other people to make themselves feel better and get on top or control the situation.
